I makes more sense saying Peter Craven was English, because Aussies & Kiwis were classed as British in those days.
Anyway, I'll be getting the stream. I spend that amount on my saturday night curry..I'll just have egg and chips instead

Holder brilliant how he laid the bike down
I remember him doing that in the world cup a few years ago, when Pawlicki and Iversen crashed right in front of him. Amazing reactions.

Tbh his form been not that good since he won the SEC
True enough. Woffinden and Janowski passed him like he wasn't there.

Lambert not quick enough, getting picked off too easily.
-
Woofy proving he's still the guv'nor!
-
Dudek, fair play to the guy. What a trooper!
-
Great final. Thought Doyle was gonna get him.

His drawn in the meeting gave him two inside gates against tough opposition. He had an advantage in the first 20 heats.
Yes, along with Thomsen, Laguta and Doyle. How did the first 2 do?

A rider has been gifted the best possible draw ......on his home track. A foul stench.
If you top score, you get first pick in the semi. Simples.

Got to hand it to Nicki. In his forties but never backs out of a challenge.

I'd never seen Darcy Ward ride (even on film) so can not make a comparison...I'm only aware of his off-track exploits more's the pity.
It's true he was a bit of an idiot, but he seemed to be pulling himself together when he returned from his ban, only to have his accident soon after. I'd recommend you seeking out some of his races on film, he really was a talent.

Absolutely. Bo Peterson at Hackney at that time was pretty much the same . He couldn't beat Michael either for the Golden Helmet who won 2 - 1 from memory.
After beating Chris Morton after a great battle (which included the only ever dead-heat of the competition) at the end of 1980, after a great year for Bo and the Hawks, We were eagerly anticipating his first defence against Lee.
Michael was phenomenal and was crossing the finishing line while Bo was still coming out of the fourth bend for an easy 2-0 win..He also set the two fastest times of the season.
He could've been the greatest ever if only etc...He was certainly the most naturally talented rider I've ever seen. The only other rider who came close was Darcy Ward imo.

Lucky old 4th if tonight's anything to go by.

You'd think the track staff would work on that grippy patch.

Zielona juniors are certainly playing their part.

At least it should be closer now, although Czestochowa will still win.

40 years, wow. Oh how those years fly by!
They announced the winner over the pa system during a Hackney meeting and the crowd didn't exactly go wild as I recall. I think it was a case of any Brit but Lee or Davis.
I think most people expected Dave Jessup to win as he was winning practically everything that year.
Saying that, Lee was a worthy winner, being one of the few riders to overtake on a boring (as usual) Ullevi track.

Interesting heat 10. Don't think Hansen was happy.

I'm glad somebody else noticed that. I thought I was going mad.
