Top 5 racers now & of all time
Staggered by the lack of star quality in BSB this year , we've launched a competition - see sig - what are your top 5 lists of racers with star quality, both riding now in BSB, in the support classes, and then riding anywhere in 08, and of all time...
new Ghostrider dvd to be won among others, which is outrageous

Re: Top 5 racers now & of all time
Troy Bayliss for BSB. All time for me is a toughie. Barry Sheene was awesome as was Freddie Spencer in his day and who can ignore Rossi. Just leaves the 69 year old guy I saw win a classic race at le mans the other week, Phil Reed, who still rides superbly well.

Re: Top 5 racers now & of all time
Id probs say Shakey, Tommy Sykes, Guy Martin, Crutchlow & Karl Harris for BSB although thats from a fairly run of the mill bunch.
