Technik Posted yesterday at 07:39 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:39 PM I was at Rye House when Andrew Silver was riding for them in his later years & on the other side was Gary Havelock. It was fantastic to watch the two of them switching lines in the turn standing the bike up. Of course they were both masters of throttle control & finding the best from their machines on the surface provided. Today we have many riders who are just throttle jockey's & ride flat out until they run out of talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of great suggestions, but given you’ve asked for only one, I’m going to go for Brian Andersen, former Coventry Bees’ captain and Danish international. A classy rider who I imagine looked as relaxed sitting in an armchair as he did on a speedway bike. He made it look easy.

He rode for Newcastle for a few meetings after he won the u21 title then joined Coventry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Villads Nagel has a remarkable style. Probably the most all-action style I’ve seen at Ashfield. He’s looking under his handlebars with his right leg in the air coming off corners. It’s cost him a few times, but with experience, he’ll have more control.
