Best rider/s for coming from the back.

[Gert Handbag]

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.

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.

all three of them came from grass track racing.....saying that the likes of Wiggy, Kelvin Tatum were good gaters.

Christer Lofqvist was brilliant at last lap passes around Poole (apparently there was a bonus involved)

Loram

Another vote for Zmarzlik being at least equal to anybody in any era I've seen.

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 .

Gerald Short at Long Eaton.

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.

Patrick  Fitzwilliam and William Fitzpatrick were great cumming from behind.

[JoeW436]

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.
