Here's a recently taken pic of Ken at Buxton for the ride n slide day.

Makes interesting reading that, thanks for posting it. I have to ask where Chris Morton came in the order, was surprised not to see him mentioned in 80s until I realised there are 4 individual World Champions in there for starters, still considering Billy Sanders and Kenny Carter were only riding for around half of the decade they each must have amassed enough to make the top ten. I suppose Mort's achilles heel would be his Individual World Final performances.

Soren Sjosten was quite a stylish rider, so short in stature that he just went where the bike took him, arms fully extended. I'd have to go with Anders Michanek for the most stylish of that era, notable mention for Simmo, always immaculately turned out and had a nice easy riding style.

Very Angry Rob?

Thank you once again to @racers and royals for the invaluable information you have provided in this thread and all the others you update with videos, fixtures etc, very much appreciated.

Shows how bad things have got when fans are wanting Bachelor in their team, been stealing a living for a while now, proper slapped ar5e when things aren't going his way, nah, not for me thanks.

Yeah I'd pay a tenner, seems fair.

Maybe it will cost less if you have a Z in your name.

Better than being 20years out though eh...marra

That's a bad injury for an 18y/o, never mind an embryo.

Such a shame he had to miss being there yesterday, if it weren't for his stance a few years ago we almost certainly wouldn't have the excellent set up we now have with Team GB, can only echo your words, get well soon Tai, you're a World Champion again.

You just take it out of the top drawer Nige.

Yeah but that's because you watched it twice.

Don't think anyone has said it was a poor meeting, far from it, it was exciting, some spectacular passes and you're right about Bartosz, he's on another level to most. The main gripe is the track prep, riders were forced to go out wide virtually all night, even Bart got in trouble at one point when riding mid track, fortunately he has the skill to correct the move and still romped home. As good as it was it wasn't a patch on Monday imo, here's hoping tomorrow is at least as good if not better.

Well there were 2 riders mentioned, hence the question. You're so wrong on this one, no way was Doyle responsible for that, never in a month of Sundays, or Saturdays.

Who?

Yes but that was due to everyone getting out wide because that was the only place to generate speed. Anyway, glad you enjoyed it, I did too but expected a better racetrack, so inferior to Monday night.

That could and should have been so much better than it was, yes there was excitement but not generated by it being a decent racetrack, quite the opposite imo, poorly prepared and riders were forced to go searching for dirt out by the fence, apart from the odd exception as pointed out. I love watching riders out wide but it was mainly quite processional.

So you're not the only one who doesn't have a clue, big deal.

Can't agree with you on that, it's poorly prepared and not a patch on how it was on Monday, that was a proper racers track, this is dangerous.

Needed a good ticking off

There is some excitement but it's woefully short of what we saw on Monday night, such a shame that they've allowed the track to be made a mess of.

Must've been difficult to work out who's round it was.

Looks like Cookies gone home already

So did I mate, so did I, the rot set in when Lemon put 2 reserves out at the point where we could've built on the start we'd made. From there on in it was one way traffic.
