I agree with continuity of riders but not riders who are not good and who are unlikely to improve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think he will be as good as people think. 8 year hiatus, Multiple big injuries, No longer in his prime. Reputation doesn't mean anything in any sport. Also contemplated retirement after one of those serious big injuries. Edited December 17, 2019 by Rockstar99 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes no difference in the big scheme of things Pedersen signing in the UK is a massive coup and only strengthens that genuine list to 3, 4 if you add in Kildemand.

On the commercial side of things it's the biggest signing no doubt about it. But that doesn't count for anything on the track. On the track I think Nicki will have his work cut out to end 2020 with an average over 8.00. Nicki P is much like Chris Holder. With every passing year his standard is dropping. Injuries are to play a big part in that. Nicki P is a man who carries a big reputation but if you are to judge him on the here and now the picture tells a whole different story. Sheffield have signed a Speedway legend with a big reputation but they have also signed a man that's well past his best day's. The Nicki P they have signed isn't the same man putting in a strong world championship challenge. The Nicki P they have signed is a man who is no longer in his prime, a man who has contemplated retirement, a man who has Lost his GP place, a man who has had numerous big injury problems over the last few years and a man who has sat out British Speedway for 8 years.

Yet has continued to be at the higher end of the averages in Poland despite that decline. I cant believe I’m defending a rider I detest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
