WIE-JA Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 [5 RANDOM FINALS picked for examples] 1970] POLAND mauger briggs olsen michanek waloszek woryna 6] 1977] SWEDEN michanek lee collins sanders olsen mauger 6] 1980] SWEDEN lee jessup penhall nielsen sanders andersson 6] 1981] ENGLAND penhall lee carter gundersen nielsen knudsen olsen jessup 8] 1984] SWEDEN gundersen nielsen sanders s. moran k.moran king 6] You said there were always only a elite who could win a world final.I picked FIVE random finals . FOUR of them at least 6 of the riders could of won the final and in 1981 at least 8 of them could of won it as well. Also bearing in mind in some of those years there were alot of spoilers who could do some damage as well. 2012 GP series CRUMP HANCOCK GOLLOB HAMPEL are in my opinion the only ones who can win the title [ 4] THREE of them have been in the series for well OVER A DECADE does that last sentence tell you you have to have fresh blood yearly and a new impeteus on the competition. Some good examples there Sidney. Fresh blood in the series is only any good if they are of the standard needed, hence elite few. Look at when the Russian arrived on the scene or Ward last season. These plus Hancock, Crump etc are elite, world class performers. I've never said that the current system is perfect-no system is. You've listed Crump. Hancock, Gollob and Hampel as the only riders in your opinion who could win. N.Pedersen, Jonsson, Holder or even Andersen could IMO push for the title. As for 3 of your picks being in the series for over a decade, does that not just prove how good they are? How many finals did Mauger, Nielsen, Gundersen each ride in?

The ones they rode in FINALS, they all got there on merit wasnt given to them on a plate had to qualify every year different test.What did briggo ride in 19 finals? legend, Dont get me wrong Gollob Crumpy Hancock i admire greatly and am privaliged to have seen all 3ride.. The only difference is WIE JA is come OCTOBER every year they Know they have qualified for the next year.If that had been the case for Briggo Fundin Mauger Olsen they would of had another 20 world titles between them.
