Crump must be within a few points of beating Rickardsson's all time tally by now, mustn't he? He did that last night, sexy schumi. The current points scored picture looks like this: 1..J Crump..(Aus)..84..1411 2..T Rickardsson..(SWE)..95..1401 3..G Hancock..(USA)..106..1345 4..T Gollob..(POL)..102..1256 5..L Adams..(AUS)..99..1131 6..N Pedersen..(DEN)..72..941 7..M Loram..(GBR)..64..662 8..B Hamill..(USA)..53..654 9..R Sullivan..(AUS)..62..637 10..A Jonsson..(SWE)..63..594

Yes but Tony did it in less GPS:
Tony Rickardsson: 84 GPs, 52 finals, 20 wins, 13 2nds, 12 3rds, 45 rostrums, 1401 points, 16.68 average per GP
Jason Crump: 95 GPs, 55 finals, 17 wins, 12 2nds, 10 3rds, 39 rostrums, 1411 points, 14.85 average per GP

And another season slips by, another 11 GPs done and dusted. That's 111 GPs we've had now and this is the new table of winners:
1..T Rickardsson..(SWE)..20 2..J Crump..(AUS)..18 3..T Gollob..(POL)..14 4=..N Pedersen..(DEN)..9 4=..G Hancock..(USA)..9 6..L Adams..(AUS)..8 7=..B Hamill..(USA)..6 7=..H Nielsen..(DEN)..6 9=..R Sullivan..(AUS)..4 9=..H Andersen..(DEN)..4 11=..T Knudsen..(DEN)..3 11=..A Jonsson..(SWE)..3 13=..M Loram..(GBR)..2 14=..B Andersen..(DEN)..1 14=..M Dugard..(GBR)..1 14=..B Pedersen..(DEN)..1 14=..C Harris..(GBR)..1 14=..R Holta..(POL)..1
One new addition to the table this season, with the non-blood Pole Rune Holta after his win in Gothenburg. But still no win for the global superstar, who is probably as we speak on bended knee begging for a 2009 lifeline from BSI Speedway. That's 68 GPs the global superstar has now had and he's failed to deliver in each and every single one of them.

And the new season starts with a new addition to the list of the GP winners, but it's not the global superstar. No, indeed, it's now SIXTY-NINE GPs without a win for the Beggar, while it's ONE GP, ONE win for Russia's Emil Sajfutdinov:
1..T Rickardsson..(SWE)..20 2..J Crump..(AUS)..18 3..T Gollob..(POL)..14 4=..N Pedersen..(DEN)..9 4=..G Hancock..(USA)..9 6..L Adams..(AUS)..8 7=..B Hamill..(USA)..6 7=..H Nielsen..(DEN)..6 9=..R Sullivan..(AUS)..4 9=..H Andersen..(DEN)..4 11=..T Knudsen..(DEN)..3 11=..A Jonsson..(SWE)..3 13=..M Loram..(GBR)..2 14=..B Andersen..(DEN)..1 14=..M Dugard..(GBR)..1 14=..B Pedersen..(DEN)..1 14=..C Harris..(GBR)..1 14=..R Holta..(POL)..1 14=..E Sajfutdinov..(RUS)..1
And I suspect we could well see the Russian prodigy climbing the table in the months ahead. Sajfutdinov became only the second rider to win on his GP debut - the first was, of course, Tomasz Gollob who won the day in the first GP.

It's quite amazing that Hans Nielsen is still in joint seventh position given the fact he rode in only 30 GPs in the twilight of his career. He was 35 at the start of the 1995 season.

Tommy K also still up there, with three wins - he only rode in ten GPs, so his record is statistically better than Nielsen's. But one win out of one means Sajfutdinov currently has a 100% record in GPs.

Of course GP's are not the 'name of the game' they are merely a means to an end, the target of course becoming world champion. What a waste of time Gollob and Adams combined 22 GP wins are considering they have zero titles between them, compare that to the fantastic records of Loram 2 GP's 1 Title, and Pedersen 9 GP's 3 Titles.

Tommy K also still up there, with three wins - he only rode in ten GPs, so his record is statistically better than Nielsen's. The difference being "serial bottler" Knudsen was eliminated at the age of just 34 after failing to negiotiate the 1996 GP challenge, whereas Nielsen retired gracefully at the age of 39 whilst still the No. 3 in the World.

And time to update this again, as Sajfutdinov swiftly moves up the table and joins Mark Loram on two GP wins:
1..T Rickardsson..(SWE)..20 2..J Crump..(AUS)..19 3..T Gollob..(POL)..14 4=..N Pedersen..(DEN)..9 4=..G Hancock..(USA)..9 6..L Adams..(AUS)..8 7=..B Hamill..(USA)..6 7=..H Nielsen..(DEN)..6 9=..R Sullivan..(AUS)..4 9=..H Andersen..(DEN)..4 11=..T Knudsen..(DEN)..3 11=..A Jonsson..(SWE)..3 13=..M Loram..(GBR)..2 13=..E Sajfutdinov..(RUS)..2 15=..B Andersen..(DEN)..1 15=..M Dugard..(GBR)..1 15=..B Pedersen..(DEN)..1 15=..C Harris..(GBR)..1 15=..R Holta..(POL)..1
Meanwhile, at the top of the table the Crumpmeister closes in on TR's record of twenty GP wins - at some stage of this season I'd expect Crump to join TR on twenty and he might even pass the legendary Swede.

Which would be something worth thinking about, 20 GP wins each but only two world titles (possibly three) to six.
Edit: Just realised that the title won in 1994 by Tony was ofcourse in the old format and not the GP-series. But still, that's two to five.

Worth remembering that six of TR's Grand Prix wins came in that never-to-be-forgotten season of 2005 (Crump won both Grands Prix held in Sweden that year and you-know-who won in Bydgoszcz), when he was totally dominant. More interestingly, Jason Crump won his first Grand Prix before TR won his first.

No, indeed, it's now SIXTY-NINE GPs without a win for the Beggar Even Martin Dugard has made a better fist of things from his, what, three GPs riding as a wildcard... In fairness though, Dugard was a much better rider than his World Championship record would suggest. He just didn't seem to be interested in individual events, although he had the beating of many riders at times.

He just didn't seem to be interested in individual events, although he had the beating of many riders at times. It is now, of course, SEVENTY-ONE GPs without a win, although he's starting to build an unimpressive list of last places. Mikael Max is second to the global superstar when it comes to GPs without a win - maybe that's the reason for the name change? To make it look not so bad. Perhaps the global superstar should think about becoming Nicole Scott? As for Martin Dugard, I though he was never quite the rider for the "big meeting", unlike, say, Gary Havelock. Dugard was - my opinion - Havelock's equal in every sphere, except when it came to the crunch meeting.
