I think he suffered an engine failure when leading 'Wiggy' but I may be wrong? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I don't doubt that, my point was that there really weren't any highlights in that appalling final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Roman Matousek's extraordinay ride with his front wheel over the inner kerb picking up tremendous grip...and Hans winning of course! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Yes,it was on Sunday Grandstand,I'd set the video to record it while dad and me attended it live.I wore a white ski jacket (all the rage in 1988 and rather expensive!) so I could pick myself out when we watched it back,which I did lol. Mum was not happy that the aforementioned jacket got hit by wet Danish Shale which wouldn't washout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant remember the year or the winner but I seem to remember quite a nasty fall for Jan Staechmann who I think was riding for Long Eaton at the time.

Tigerblade Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 1988, Erik Gundersen, the last of his 3 titles. I don't remember the crash you mention but Stekker would have been riding for Wolverhampton then. I do remember Per Jonsson getting excluded for knocking Hans Nielsen off, though.

Wasn't on Eurosport. It was shown live on a German Sports channel was was available in the UK on the old Astra satellite.DSF rings a bell. Egon Muller was doing the commentary. It was certainly not shown live on any of the UK sports channels. I don't recall it being shown on the BBC. Maybe they would have shown a short 10 minute feature on their Wednesday night sports highlights show? The beeb did show highlights though of the British Grand Prix at Hackney the year Jason Crump won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that was also on Sunday Grandstand, about a week after it had happened I believe. Made quite a decent half hour package. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
