Best rider/s for coming from the back.

I am showing my age with this comment but Ronnie Moore in the days of handicap league racing was brilliant. 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

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.
