Recommended Posts

I though Id' see how many finals each Country had made in the GP's this season, no reason.

 

Denmark - 11

Australia - 10

Poland - 7

GB - 5

Sweden - 3

USA - 2

Norway - 2

 

Norway seems to be doing quite well :D Hopefully in Germany we can draw level with the Poles :D

It has to be said that Denmark's 22 wins have been shared among six riders, while Sweden's between two. And one of those, Tony Rickardsson leads Andreas Jonsson 20 to 2. All Poland's win have flowed from a single source: Tomasz Gollob.

And here's the full list of winners so far:

 

1..T Rickardsson..(SWE)..20

2..J Crump..(AUS)..16

3..T Gollob..(POL)..11

4=..N Pedersen..(DEN)..8

4=..G Hancock..(USA)..8

6=..B Hamill..(USA)..6

6=..H Nielsen..(DEN)..6

6=..L Adams..(AUS)..6

9..R Sullivan..(AUS)..4

10=..T Knudsen..(DEN)..3

10=..H Andersen..(DEN)..3

12=..M Loram..(GBR)..2

12=..A Jonsson..(SWE)..2

14=..B Andersen..(DEN)..1

14=..M Dugard..(GBR)..1

14=..B Pedersen..(DEN)..1

14=..C Harris..(GBR)..1

 

I believe the former British champion and global superstar has featured in 55 GPs and hasn't won a single one - is that a record? Or has some other clown ridden in more and achieved less?

I believe Peter Karlsson could actually top that or at least run him close. Can't find the figures at the moment though! Anyone?

 

EDIT: According to the Dackarna profile of PK he has actually ridden in 47 GP's. Hm! I thought there were more.

According to this website: http://speedway.gp.prv.pl/ Mikael Max has ridden in 56 meetings but hasn't won a single one.

 

So, Scott Nicholls has "levelled" 56 non victorious GPs...56 GPs with no single win...Scottie will take a "lead" after German SGP if he wll not the no 1 in this SGP

I don't think that 55 is so bad a number of GPs to have ridden in without a win.

 

I'm sure there is a legendary Pole who has a similar record, and there is no way he should be described as a clown!
