Gold star for climbo, who can now ask an equally impossible question.

[edit] Matt cut back his cyclo-cross for 2000 and still won the US national championship!! He was urged to ride road, but chose to concentrate on MTB. He sorta vanished for a while but has had a few results

As in the biggest sit you'll ever get in a crit.....like being behind a bus at 55kmh.

This one should be fairly easy, unless it's been done in another area I can't think of.

It's a bloke, still alive, 3 World Championships in 3 consecutive years, who and what years, what discipline.

Bonus point for naming the team he raced for.

You have to wait until the previous question has been answered.
Now, just because y'all live in the wrong hemisphere, and in a different timeframe,
and speak funny doesn't mean we seppo's are gunna put up wi' 3 pages o
aussiespeak. . . . .

Oh, yeah CracknFail you're up. Reg Harris it is, won the championships
in the late 40's and early 50's retired, then made a comeback in 1971!
at age 51 he was unbeatable. talk about moxie!

Thanks for restoring order in the Quiz Thread, lotek. Things were getting out of control. :)

lotek 04-20-05 07:02 AM

I have absolutely no control here, I think they (the aussies) went to bed!

Where in the Netherlands are you?

Judy looking yummy, Alby displaying one of the best testicular seperations ever captured on film.

Sorry Bruco and Lotek, Judy had a big impact on young Aussie males in the early 80's, while Alby 'World Safari' Mangels (drove around the world with his mate in a crappy DAF car) was pantsman extrordinaire. On with the quiz....

Go to post #305 where Crackn got sick of waiting for you to wake up from your 3 week siesta. Climbo is up, his Q stands as far as I can tell but he's prolly in bed by now so riders must claim.

Whoops, missed that one in all the Aussiespeak. . . :D
apologies all around.
Thats the problem with this thread, I stay on most of the day here,
and when the question is finally answered I'm gone.

rockmuncher 04-20-05 07:49 AM

Yeah, the time differences really kill what could be a great little intercontinental battle. Just as we get warmed up the poms and eurostars are heading to bed and the yanks have a few more hours of kip before scratching their nuts and starting another day.

First up, Australian Mens Time Trial Team were world champions three years running (oi, oi, oi!), but I won't claim or dispute because climbo is after an individual

Climbo hasn't broken rule number 1, has he?:)

That will depend on the fickle nature of human kind. If you recall my last question was about cyclocross WC Matt Kelly, but it was 'related to road racing' because he was immediately urged follow in LA's footsteps and adopt a road career. Sadly he declined.

I must admit, Google is letting me down on this Q.

lotek 04-20-05 08:40 AM

I did not!

I think we need to amend rule #1 as we have already had
questions about Track racing, I'd say cyclocross is pushing things,
don't even as about MTB racing (like I'd know about that).

There, clear as mud!
Marty

531Aussie 04-20-05 08:47 AM

I agree -- a big "BOOOO" to cyclo-cross, recumbents, BMX, MTB, ice-skating, cricket....or anything else, and a track question should be stipulated as being such.

THERE!!

god, I'm such a geek

lotek 04-20-05 08:47 AM

Urs Freuler (Switzerland) 1981, 1982 and 1983
track worlds in Points. Rode for Lotto?

Marty

rockmuncher 04-20-05 08:48 AM

Bah humbug.

wait, Danny Clark 1984, 1985 1986 in Derny. (he's aussie so I guess
this is the one you're looking for?)
or his 1980, 81, 82 Keirin championships? (rode for Konecke?)

Marty

531Aussie 04-20-05 08:53 AM

eh, it's 12:55am on the east coast; I'm tippin' he's gorn

climbo 04-20-05 03:37 PM

rules, rules, who needs 'em !! Clark didn't win in 82. Not the guy I'm thinking of but I have broken the golden rule and crossed over too many disciplines here, it's MTB. If Clark did that, then Lotek can have it. Is Derby a World Champs event?
