I was specifically referring to the 'calibre of rider quote'. I know that GP status was lost in 75 and there had been a reduction in the numbers of really top riders through the 70's but prior to that the riders competing were the best in the world.

With the utmost respect to McPint, MD et al, none of them would be anywhere near the front at a GP, or even a BSB round.
