ST, Sebbe is 19, Swedish, and rides with Leigh & Trick for Masarna in Sweden...

 

He was a target for Coventry last year, but could not sign for the Bees, as he rode on Thursday nights for "Team Dalakraft", which is Masarna's reserve team in the Allsvenskan league....

 

No doubt "Zetters" has even more info.....

Jeffster and Iris123 - cheers - you are wonderful

 

Name really rings a bell though for some reason - I'm sure i've seen him ride somewhere in europe a year or two ago, maybe in the UK?......

Sebban is a talented young rider who will be turning professional in 2005. He still has a year left in college but will be taking that throught the winter to enable his racing career to really begin.

 

A down side to him is he has a bit of a temper and has been known to regularly throw his helmet around the pits after bad races, so the other riders had better watch out.

 

Another thing about him, much like Daniel Davidsson he is brilliant when he makes the gate but if he doesn't he struggles.

Doesn't everyone secretly (or not so secretly) love a rider with a temper? you can't help but like a rider who is willing to kick the bike, throw helmets/goggles or generally lose it when they lose. Prehaps it's just me but I think it shows how determined they are to win.
