My all-time favourite rider, but 'most stylish' might be a bit of a stretch, there was always a hint of unpredictability about his riding which is probably the antithesis of 'stylishness'. Uninhibited certainly! One time that backs up your point is when he broke the track record by about a second and in his next ride was flying and I reckon had he stayed on would've broken it again by another - but he binned it That meeting could also be used on another recently started thread as he was in full camouflage leathers Quite a character - that could be another thread! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted yesterday at 11:07 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 11:07 AM (edited) Bobby Ott ... I once saw him "fall off" but kept hold of the handlebars, kept astride the machine, and then uprighted the bike as it was still sliding across the track!! He got excluded because Ronnie Correy laid his bike down behind him thinking Bobby had come to grief.... As Ronnie lay there, Bobby was flying down the home straight . 😁 And then was going mad that he got excluded... He used to practice his balance by riding a unicycle and certainly could ride a bike at angles, but still with speed,that few others could muster...

Lefty Posted yesterday at 11:32 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 11:32 AM Certainly agree on John Cook & Bobby 'Showtime' Ott. For armchair riders, I considered Gote Nordin & Bengt Jansson set the bench mark for Leigh Adams to join it a few years later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago Tommy Jansson also had a great style... Smooth, controlled and fast... So lucky to watch the likes of him and PC race in my first few years of watching the sport.. An absolute tragedy what happened to him... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
