GP, Seriously with this list??...Madness abounds!!! GP, Seriously with this list??? Ok, if it is about Little 5 then it is about RACE DAY. On RACE DAY Issac Neff was abysmal (As is BKB most years, BIGGEST WASTE OF TALENT IN LITTLE 5 HISTORY) and needed “Pepto-Abysmal” in 2008 (REMOVE HIM!) Next, Matt Davis???? (Bad race day rider) Really? After Hans took out 2/3rds of the field, someone had to win and someone had to finish 2nd (2005 should be thrown out all together as a performance resume stuffer.) Which leads to Leukens, again the beneficiary of a series of events, but left to his own resolve, again a terrible race day rider, That's "TEHRR-BLE!" (REMOVE HIM!)<br /><br />GREATNESS IS ABOUT DOING WHAT NO ONE PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT COULD BE DONE! THIS IS ABOUT THE THINGS YOUR EYES JUST SAW (RACE DAY) THAT YOUR MIND TOLD YOU WAS IMPOSSIBLE!<br />So here is the THE LIST:<br /> 1.Young<br /> 2.Arnessen <br /> 3. Commisiong<br /> 4.Vargo<br /> 5. Camara<br /> 6. Bishop<br /> 7. Land<br /> 8. Grant<br /> 9. Feldman<br /> 10. Parks<br /><br /><br />Young has gotten it done more than <br /><br />Hans and I am sure he will this year too! Though his burnouts are still kinda weak!<br />Putting Hans at #2.<br /><br />Add @ #3: Simeon Commisiong, Like Todd said: It’s about the race day wow factor. Been around many a race don’t ever remember a race where so many teams were worried about 1 guy being on the last lap. He was SICK fast! How fast? In 03 AND 04, He got on the bike with TMT ½ down in turn 1, and the leaders in turn 3, By the time the leaders were back at at turn 3 (40 lap!!!), .....He was with them. Do the math! You will never see that again in your lifetime. He did it twice.<br /><br />Move VARGO up. The flashpoint for the current wave of Cutters success, deserves his due. Speed and endurance on race day with the sack to sprint against anyone.<br /><br />Add @ #4: Ali Camara, the statement that he didn’t have a long career is erroneous he raced from 2005-2008. Again someone has to win every race but I would have never though a L5 Rider could ride 66 laps out of the gate??? Insanity! (Wanna be on my list, 66+ from the jump gets you in as an automatic!)<br />Land Great Leader and setup man<br />Grant was a Beast! If he were eligible on this list for more than 1 year, he would be top 3<br />Clayton Best “Wingman” over this period.<br /><br />Add @ #10 Kenny Parks again you will never see someone with that combination of speed and endurance , especially at that size in your life. 3 Incredible race day performances. Riding 130 laps in 2009 and sprinting for the win in 2009 and 2007.<br />GREATNESS IS ABOUT DOING WHAT NO ONE PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT COULD BE DONE! THIS IS ABOUT THE THINGS YOUR EYES JUST SAW (RACE DAY) THAT YOUR MIND TOLD YOU WAS IMPOSSIBLE!<br />That’s the word.<br /><br />Starting a petition to have Leukens, Davis, and Neff removed. “ ….Someone go wake up Kiel”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015054368585963511.post-10442837146069204882011-01-26T01:41:26.346-05:002011-01-26T01:41:26.346-05:00Todd Neville...Master of the Obvious!Todd Neville...Master of the Obvious!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015054368585963511.post-68846132590562229982011-01-25T07:30:12.978-05:002011-01-25T07:30:12.978-05:00I believe your last post was deleted.I believe your last post was deleted.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01753870563360234460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015054368585963511.post-44711670346612256712011-01-25T00:38:43.252-05:002011-01-25T00:38:43.252-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015054368585963511.post-84788191929667913032011-01-24T18:09:54.016-05:002011-01-24T18:09:54.016-05:00GP - it's spread outside the Midwest.GP - it's spread outside the Midwest.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01753870563360234460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015054368585963511.post-45614625541530510962011-01-24T17:55:22.044-05:002011-01-24T17:55:22.044-05:00Geraint Parry put yourself on the list; announcing...Geraint Parry put yourself on the list; announcing take a special individual and it's safe to say that you will be missed dearly upon your departure to greener pastures.

Geraint, does his '02 palmares not count for you? I've ridden with both him and Isaac. Isaac is a better road racer but Luke was a better Little 5-er. Also Simeon should receive honarable mention but shouldn't be on the list. He had alot of potential & probably would have won in '04 if he didn't force the crash. Perhaps their should be a list of best riders that never won the race.
