As a Brit , I thought you may just have ben a bit more respectful to the history of the sport on our side of the pond !!
Regarding my top ten , well that would take a bit of thinking about , and your just not worth it , but that doesn't change the fact your lists are crap .
But , to give you some credit , I can agree with some points , but you have most “arse about tit”
Best - Magoo at the Trophee & Nations , that just has to be a up there , possibly the most exiting rider of that generation , puts it all together and blows everybody away , fantastic !
But then , surely the tragic way injury ended his career / life , that also has to be more sad than some of the other things you have in your worst list ??
Stefan Everts beating Bubba at the Nations , yes , great ride , but , fuck me Bob , how can that top him winning all GP classes in one day ? Personally , I don’t see that ever being done again , so lets give that the credit it deserves .
You have the US winning the Nations in 81 , but no mention of GB,s win in 94 , as a Brit , hang your head in shame Roberto ! Malins performance that day could be included on its own , as also could Jonny O,s 125 ride in the 86 event , yet no mention of either ? They were both career defining rides for me .
Also , you should remember the early days , when the BBC used to do regular televised meetings in the 60,s and the likes of Dave Bickers etc. , really put the sport on the map , especially in the UK .Would be difficult to pinpoint any one moment from those days , but it contributed to the start of a “ golden era “ in British MX .
I have already mentioned the Jobe double @ Hawkstone , yet you don’t seem to rate it over TP,s party tricks .
Worst - Baileys injury was bad , he was always a favourite of mine , but worse than Magoo,s , no way !
Closing of Namur , yup , very sad , as you say it had so much history , one such moment being the Carla beer stop . It was moments like that , that were truly memorable !
Anyway Bobby , keep smiling .
Great careers for all 3, and they all represented their countries excellent. I don't know if the riders have the same desire for the MXDN as they used to. I hope the passion for that event is still there. I think it's a lot of pressure that some riders feel they don't need, if you try too hard and crash you let the team down, if you back it down to get a good finish you got owned. Now with social media the riders read and see that garbage. More fans should support the effort no matter what the finish is.
