Had some good one's over the years haven't we. Sorry said before IMO anyone who rides a s/way bike is not a tart ,just to be able to ride and control one of these machines in the confines of a track with three other riders takes huge amount of courage plus a great deal of skill . Make no mistake I think BZ( his opponents are fortunate that he's not the best of gaters) is the greatest rider to put a leg over a bike but I can still admire the the skill /ability of other riders ,as Mauger I believe said "gating " makes the job so much easier .

SPEEDY69 Posted Monday at 11:17 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 11:17 AM Past: Gert Handberg & Jarek Hampel Present: Nikolai Klindt. Can think of many more of course but it all depends at what stage of their career as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day if you put your leg over the bike it meant you were pretty much gaurenteed to put your leg over the other meaning 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can think of many more of course but it all depends at what stage of their career as well. Hampel is a strange one for me, seen some exceptional overtakes from him at League & GP level. If Hampel is included then Hancock would be also wouldn’t he?? For me, the biggest gating slag I'd ever seen was Adam Allott around King's Lynn. Never seen anyone like it.

TapesRup Posted Tuesday at 02:49 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 02:49 PM The winner of the start tart for 2026 so far is the one and only irritating NICOLAI KLINDT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReturn Posted 57 minutes ago Report Share Posted 57 minutes ago I always thought Nigel Crabtree fell into this category whenever he raced against Long Eaton. Good rider, but if he was being beat by anyone, he would spend the race looking down at his bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
