I lay my vote on PG Lundmark. Put him in a KTM factory team and he'd blow the shirts off everyone... 11th place on his first go, a privateer in a team of one. Amazing stuff, as hard as they come!

not taking away from great factory riders........i guess really and honestly...after the likes financing,organizing,scrimping and saving, living a dream by maybe only ever getting a onetime entry and with determination etc etc ...any privateer.....sort of see what i`m sayin balls of steel....

Peterhansel & cyril despres and also the late Andy Caldecott, an absolute gentlemen and sportsman with an awesome ability on a motorcycle.

Peterhansel period...
It's not even close. When he rode he pretty much won unless he had a breakdown. He even won in a car damn! |
