To think back , we used to take the likes of Stead, Allen, Neath etc for granted. They would clean up in this eras standard of riders.
It reminds me of a few years ago when a poster called Bwitcher who used to post about 300 posts a day and was never wrong about a thing, tried telling me the 90s and early 00s era of PL riders like Stoney, Wilson, Carr, Watson, Stancl, Pickering etc would be out averaged by riders like Howarth, Wells, Jorgensen etc lol. Absolute garbage, the old era of PL riders would clean up with this current standard of riders.
