He actually looked desperate there.

Dammit! Well, that was eventful...

Yep, see my comment above... They showed the results "After Heat 20" - yet not everyone had completed five rides. Then they showed the gate wins after 20 Heats - and they only totalled 19.

Forget that; is it REALLY that difficult to get the bloody captions right onscreen?

Smart race from Dan, there...

He just didn't want Doyle to be the only one to keep going arse over t*t...

When Doyle retires, he would make a wonderful track curator. Even while riding, he spends so much of his time closely inspecting the tracks...

Well, we know Doyle's nickname can't be "Weeble"...

Better than usual, that's for certain!

Exactly. And he is STILL proving himself to be one of the very best riders in the world - despite what some may say...

People have said it before on here, that sometimes the family seems to take priority over the risks...

And after a good first ride. Don't know if it's a lack of speed, but he really doesn't seem to be able to find the right lines.

Um, we have this thing going on between us...

I know, and I also know that you can use the letter 'Z' on your keyboard! Took a few races, but there has been some great action - particularly from Bewley!

Who is this "Smarzlik" fella?

What 2 idiots?

Couple of great rides by Dan...

Hate to say, it, but I thought it was his fault; not first bend bunching...

Not Doyle!!!

John Titman also wore one in 1984. By then, the soft "monkey masks" had disappeared, but they were wearing rigid ones. Thinking about it, I don't recall Dave Jessup wearing a full-face helmet? After then, Ray Morton still wore open face...

The fastest alive over the first 25 - Todd Wiltshire!

We have been missing some info on Swedish riders, so that is great to find that out. I will update the list. Thanks again!

Kinda makes sense, actually... Sid and Reg both retired at the end of 71. Maido went straight into management, with Reg taking a year off before coming out of retirement in 73. I do think Ron would have been a good choice.

Just for bit of fun; Jason Crump is the YOUNGEST surviving world finalist, nearly three years younger than the next - Joe Screen. Yes, I now have the complete list of surviving world finalists...

Nice to see five ex-Dons in the Top 16!
