Title: Sarah Jane Nichols
Post by: Trev on October 07, 2006, 12:49 PM
I've just received this week copies of the Kelloggs 84 & 85 (thanks Zed & Kev).
It has brought back so many memories. I always remembered SJN dominating her class (5 out of 6 wins in 84 and one 2nd place and 6 out of 6 in 85). But I had forgotten exactly how good she was. All I can say is she is absolutely amazing. :4_17_5: :smitten:
She was the Michael Schumacher of her class, the Michael Jordan of her class.
Here are some great quotes from the commentator.
Round 1 - "She could almost afford a stop, have a cup of tea, remount and still win this race"
Round 2 - "There goes Sarah Jane, coming over the line now, where's everybody else.......................................there they are"
Round 3 - They didn't show this race but commented "The girls main has already happened and who do you think won? Yeah, no prizes, Sarah Jane Nicholls"
Round 4 - "I think we're going to handicap her next week, take her back wheel off"
Round 5 - "What can you say about Sarah Jane winning 5 out of 5, I'm running out of superbitives"
Round 6 - "It Sarah Jane, riding a bit below par today. A mere 30 metres clear at the finish."

I just watched her on the kellogs dvd, she did blow away the rest, and her riding style is so smooth, pedald all the way...
She made an appearance at Milton Keynes rad meet, had a spin round the track, still has style...

Trev, any chance of getting copies done of the DVD's? would love to watch some old footage. Would be happy to pay for them.
I'll try and get some copies sorted soon. I currently don't have the facilities, but will hopefully get something sorted soon. I'll PM you once I'm on the case. :daumenhoch:
