Was Tai The Quickest World Champion?


Recommended Posts

I think everyone bar John understood your question perfectly. In the duplicated thread I answered it for you, copied below

 

 

Freddie Williams won at his first attempt. So did Havvy. Penhall won his second world final (and third) So did Peter Craven, Ole Olsen, Jack Young,

Jerzy Szczakiel,

 

So no Tai hasnt broken any records, he hasnt even equalled any

 

Of course John then followed with this gem

 

An odd question. Nobody has ever been seeded to a recognised World Final. All starters take part through qualification.


 

Yes, the winner of the GP in 1995. Hans Nielsen of Denmark. Or in the old style world championship Lionel Van Praag of Australia in 1936. This fact just does not seem to get through despite repetitions of the fact previously.

 

 

Nobody was ever seeded to a world final!!!

You might want to do a little research.

 

How did Peter Craven qualify in 1956 ? answer, he didn't, he was seeded

What about Briggo in 1958 and 1959 or Ronnie Moore in 1960.

The Poles had 6 seeded riders in 1970

They had 5 in 1973

They had 3 in 1979 (Zenon Plech, Edward Jancarz & Robert Slabon)

What about Jan Andersson in 1980

Or Henny Kroeze in 1987

 

Is that enough for now
