I'm astonished that people are referring to Greg Hancock as the most boring World Champion. He's been involved in some absolutely belting races this season and the most stand out one has to be Heat 12 in Torun. He's not shirked from his duties and has been well in the mix of races when called upon.

 

Boring Greg Hancock certainly isn't

 

IMO he's perceived in the same way as Kenneth Bjerre, although of course in a different class at GP level. They are both riders who win the majority of their races from the gate and are therefore seen by many as less exciting. However you know as well as I do that both riders can overtake if the need arises although like any rider they can't do it every time.

 

For me they are more likely to force their way under an opponent in a methodical fashion rather than blasting round the boards while hanging off the bike which may also make people think they are 'boring' compared to Holder, Ward or Bomber for example.

what about the final in cardiff of gate 4 when pedersen forced holder wide forcing hancock wide almost in the fence he held it wide open, possibly one of the best first corners ever from Hancock

 

Dangerous from Pedersen though

Quite an enjoyable GP with several decent races, but as with most rounds this year it left me frustrated as it could have been better with more dirt down.

 

I'm not a Greg Hancock fan particularly but he's been consistently the best rider throughout this year so fair play to him.

 

BEST by a long way!!! :approve: :approve:

 

.............as is evidenced by a THIRTY ONE Point lead in the Series. :approve: :approve:

 

I cannot understand why anyone should call Greg Hancock boring - could it be because he comes over as a perfect Gentleman, as opposed to some of our Antipodean friends who think it is clever to swear on the Television. :angry:
