VMX QUIZ

[090]

1978 Torlief Hansen . Unlike Johnny O the walking mx Wikipedia, I had to google it.

[JohnnyO]

Pretty sure Torlief never won a world title..

[090]

  Doh! Smart arse. He got second. Seems it was Tortelli in '96.

[090]

How about, which country has the most world titles combined (125,250,500,mx1,2 and 3)

[JohnnyO]

Have to say Belgium

[090]

Yep. By far more. I have no idea btw except I have all the stats in front of me.

[JohnnyO]

With riders like Rahier, Robert, DeCoster, Everts snr, Jobe, Geboers, Smets and Everts jnr, all multi world champs, i figured it'd have to be Belgium!

Hey Johnny O ...
How about how many times Broc Glover won in AMA ??
cheers

[JohnnyO]

I think he won 5 titles all up in the 125 and 500 classes.

[090]

6 
Only surpassed by the Goat

[JohnnyO]

Close..
Strangely Broc is not really known one of the all time greats compared to Hannah, Bailey, Johnson, Ward, MC and RC.

This is becoming a Queenslanderthon (geez thats a big word)....you would have thought Kawasaki would have won a title before 96.....even Husaberg beat them and they had only been making bikes for 5 minutes.....lots of 2nd's and 3rd's though. I guess the green team being the baby of the 4 biggies and not being able to "buy" titles like the other 3 doesnt help....I wonder how much money Honda spent in the 80's buying ALL the top riders?...my, my how times have changed......now KTM are throwing it back in the japs faces....and leading the way with technology. . Anyway, thanks for the answer because I didnt have a clue!!
