Gert Handbag Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 Any Cradley fan will tell you they loved Jan'O. But Big Al Grahame and Phil Collins were a great pairing. At that time Phil was king from the back around Dudley Wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting on a 30 yard handicap at Wimbledon he would regularly be in the lead by the end of the first lap. He was also a master of team riding his partner to victory. Yes we mustn't forget riders in the past when bikes were more difficult to handle requiring more subtle throttle control...Martin Ashby, Gordon Kennett, Nigel Boocock, Peter Collins, Chris Morton etc etc Edited June 23 by steve roberts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackett Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 Mark Loram like Bomber rarely made starts. Top at finding the dirt and riding high wide and handsome. Apart from when he rode for Eastbourne as he had to gate there. Joe Screen was another that was decent finding ways to pass riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 Christer Lofqvist was brilliant at last lap passes around Poole (apparently there was a bonus involved) Briggo Bernt Persson Loram Harris Nicki Pederson Another vote for Zmarzlik being at least equal to anybody in any era I've seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not agree more Vince every race is box office with him , the other riders don't let him through as many on here say he exerts such pressure and speed they can't stop him . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Eck Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 Neil Collins when he was riding for Edinburgh in the Powderhall era. The crowd used to loudly sigh on the rare occasions he made the gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeW436 Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 I watched Emil Sayfutdinov win from the back after missing the gate at the showground in his first ride, don’t think he’d ever been there before either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
