Yes I think on the Jansson question it is Sid who wants a definitive answer and won’t accept one that disagrees with his My thought is and I think I have posted it at least once is look at Leigh Adams. Such a consistently great rider. You would think the GP system was perfect for him, but he never won the title even though you just had to be very consistent without even winning GP’s Even someone as great as Gollob only won one title and that was when most people had thought he had missed his chance(s) And Brian Crutcher is maybe the epitome of someone who showed a hell of a lot of promise but couldn’t build on that. Tommy Miller to a lesser extent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 What I am trying to get at, is that certainly in the first two, if their career had been cut short you could make a fairly convincing argument that Adams would definitely be a world champion and that Gollob would have been a multiple world champ even the best rider the world had ever seen Possibly also with Crutcher that he would have won a title. I know once when I mentioned him here Phil Rising said Briggo rated Crutcher one of the best he had seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBBATH Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Sadly I never got to see Brian Crutcher ride-from what I have read ,his nerves before meetings could let him down. Apparently he would get so nervous before big meetings that he would be sick to his stomach. As you know he retired at a very young age from speedway.

Yes, he retired the week I went to my first meeting. I've always felt responsible........ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
