mikebv Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Peter Collins.. Shudder to think how loud the decibels on the TV would be if Nigel and Kelvin had commented on him racing... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ch958 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 interesting that among the stellar names quoted there are some more modest talents - especially from those of us who only ever watched D2 racing. I myself have always admired triers, regardless of success 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topaz325 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Only saw PC and Morton race live a couple of times and Mauger only once, so I’ll say Tony Rickardsson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyfan Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 My all time favourite rider has to be the late Vic Harding. Loved watching him pull a wheelie coming off the last bend and over the finish line when he won a race at Weymouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Valentine.. Always, understandably, the Comet crowd favourite.... Maybe a pity he was so good though as he stepped up to Sheffield Tigers after one great 1970 blast season at DP. Lou did come good.....but would only take the inside pass on....usually a cutback on bend one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunky Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 I always find this an unanswerable question when you are friends with different riders; whoever you say, you feel guilty about not saying somebody else... So, to pick someone who isn't a friend, it's tough to choose between Mirac and Tommy. I never personally knew Ronnie, but my mum did.
