So.... who would be a big surprise? Well this brings me back to Jurica Pavlic.... So maybe no Smetana or Buckhave... Guessing I reckon that Pavlica would come in on a maximum average of 8.18... hopefully less... This is a total guess but it won't be an Aussie or Yank as we don't (currently) have the correct paperwork to employ guys from these countries and it isn't going to be Bjarne (at least not this year as Rob has apparently spoken to him) so it will be interesting to see who it actually is... however we are restricted in who we can get so a big(ish) European (or Brit) who is not tied to Poland? I won't be Adam Ellis as he is off elsewhere as is Danny King... Av got it.... Andre Compton is making a come back... lol... how did we get him... oh hang on Pepe Franc.... forgot a bout laal Pepe... That's it sorted Regards THJ Pavlic seems to be one of Gniezno's top riders for next year, so I can't see him giving up Poland. Matthias Nielsen has signed for Torun as a reserve, he is a decent U21 Dane, so might fit the bill, but would anyone be thinking "how did they get him"? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sure Gniezno are in the second division a Saturday track. I wouldn’t mind Nielsen though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be a good signing in Pavlic, if it was achievable. He'd be excellent around BP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mind you that doesn't mean I'm writing him off, just saying it's a new name to me... Seems there's a lot of good young Danes, we need the next great Dane at Brough... Shouldn't they be 4.00 though? That's what Mikkel B Andersen was for Glasgow last year was he not? And Sam Jensen? I'm probably wrong lol Mikkel B Andersen came in on 5.2 originally, as do all of the Danes who have ridden in their top league it seems. http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/files/downloads/c18_issue_3.pdf Except Sam Jensen was a 5. http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/files/downloads/c19_issue_27.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes Robbo has definitely ridden in this country... Pavlic would come in on 8.18 I reckon (or less) as he rode for Swindon in 2008 and 09... Hans could be an option as I pointed out weeks ago and is definely another to consider IMHO... Regards THJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regards THJ Pavlic feels like an odd name to be touting after 10 years away from the UK. That average as well, would have thought Rosco would have been doing everything to have got him in over or for Lawmpart last season. Haven't seen him mentioned in any 'wish lists' for next year in a long time either! Would have thought a top 2 of Hans and Vissing is more realistic if Clegg is starting in the 1-5 Although if you are right it would definitely show up a lot of the Premiership clubs! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dandelion 775 Posted December 5, 2019 9 hours ago, Marshall07 said: Birkmose is the 15yo kid that rode in Denmark last year and beat ALOT of top riders. He has signed in Poland but can't see him getting many rides Assessed averages used to go on what league level they ride in other countries. I remember Jacob would have come over on a 4 but he signed for a team in the league above (whilst not ever riding for them) so had to come in on a 5 Sounds like a good talent then Look forward to hearing his name in the future...

Was something mentioned at some point that I missed? It seems like a completely random name plucked from thin air tbh... And I don't just mean this comment, he's been mentioned a few times... 4 hours ago, DC2 said: Mikkel B Andersen came in on 5.2 originally, as do all of the Danes who have ridden in their top league it seems. http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/files/downloads/c18_issue_3.pdf Except Sam Jensen was a 5. http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/files/downloads/c19_issue_27.pdf Sam Jensen must have had the 'Glasgow' reduction that only Glasgow are allowed... Aussies on a 2.00 rather than a 4.00 and Danes on a 5.00 rather than a 5.20 What I want to know... Is this unknown rider no one would guess the same rider that is the big shock, hitter at number 1?

The aussie on a 2 has a British born Mother and has a British passport and has chosen to be British , unlike some of our British born Aussies that used the system and have chosen to ride for Australia.Connor wants to ride for GB not Australia. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
