customhouseregular Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Ok, I know this is just a bit of fun but why not play along. Select from riders competing over the past 25 years and make 4 lists. list A Riders who won the World title once only. list B Riders who never became World Champion but finished second at least once. list C Riders not in either of the above categories but who finished third at least once. list D Riders who have won a GP but have not medalled in the World Championship. Pick 4 riders from each list to make a 4-Team tournament. Who would have been top individual scorers?. Which team would have won?. You may be surprised at the strength of the team from list D.

customhouseregular Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 You have gone back more than 25 years Mr.W. You can't have Ermolenko in list A. Also Knudsen in list C, unless I am mistaken was more than 25 years ago. (Apologies if my stats are incorrect). List D with Ward, MJJ, Zagar and Zmarzlik would give list A a run for their money.

waiheke1 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 25 years takes us back to 90. Sam won in 93? Knudsens medal was in 81, but I based his inclusion on form in last 25 years. But if medal had to be in that period put sullivan into team c, and knuden replace harris in team d. Still think a comfortably the strongest team, close between the others but would say d the weakest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Emil should be on team "c" surely? he was originally, then i moved him to D because I remembered that he wasn't top 3 in 2013 but I had forgotten his bronze from a few years earlier, so I moved him back to C then. I found it quite difficult to find riders for both b and c list. Most riders who have won medals also have won the title.

lucifer sam Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Hans Nielsen won has only won World Championship since 1990 (i.e. in the last 25 years), so can I include him as my captain for Team A? If so: Team A: Hans Nielsen Jan O Pedersen Per Jonsson Tomasz Gollob Will work out the other three teams in due course. (If I'm not told off for cheating with this team ) All the best Rob Edited February 4, 2015 by lucifer sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
