When he passed Kurtz, I was in shock. It was like I'd travelled back to 2006. The Hans Andersen of 2006 would have been World Champion, had he started the series. I remember him racking up 100 SGP points in 6 rounds. Crump was very lucky that year. Edited May 24, 2019 by JeremyCorbynFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice the block of seats on the 4th bend was completely empty, is there a safety issue with that block or just they want to keep the spectators in the main part of the stand? I have no agenda, I have always enjoyed my visits to the showground but last night exceeded all expectations racing wise, shame we didn't win but early days. The track hasn't produced anything like that for the previous 6 meeting though, hence the drop off of people rather than increase that last nights racing, decent presentation, along with better rider interaction (ie doing victory laps as they did last night usually, not all!) deserves. Given that April and May are traditionally our busy home months and for the rest of the season we're back to feast but mainly famine in terms of fixtures then Buster and co will probably need to take the hit this year and build as best they can for the rest of the season and start of 2020 with last night as the benchmark, knowing that it can be done. The issue with the stand appears the same as it was this time last year. This probably explains it. Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans averaged 16.83 in the series, Crump's average in the same rounds that Hans rode in was 15.5. Hans missed the first four rounds, yet still racked up over 100 points.

Gross misuse and manipulation of data  You simply throw away Crump's results in the first 4 GP s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crump was already coasting at that point, consolidated in the next two and got the sun lounger out for the remainder when Andersen also started to tail off. Whether he'd have beaten Crump over the full series I doubt, but he might. Crump's record in the SGP suggests you're barking but entitled to your opinion.

Yes couldn't see how Crump could lose it that year . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, Crump wouldn't have scored as heavily in the first four rounds, if Hans was riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Very pleased to read how good the racing was last night. It proves that the track can still produce the quality racing we are used to at the EOS. It's just a matter of preparing it properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
