Steve Turner 0 Posted October 27, 2003 Very important, these selections. And I know Nicki Pedersen agrees ! Mark Loram, Great Britain (Good for us Brits, not sure the rest of Europe would agree) Lukas Dryml, Czech Republic (Obvious) Mikael Max, Sweden (Mikael Karlsson - yes, Max - no ) Lee Richardson, Great Britain (No thanks, then he'd find out just how it feels to get shat on) Hans Andersen, Denmark (Don't like him, don't rate him) Jarek Hampel, Poland (Fair choice) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
salty 2,202 Posted October 27, 2003 It's neater this way: 3 from GB, 3 from Australia, 3 from Sweden, 3 from Poland. But there are 4 Danes! Though I guess Hans Andersen did just enough to be given a 2nd chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drmyl is a definite wild card-top 5 for 2004 IMO. Mark Loram-not sure if he will be as good as he was 2-3 years ago-hope I'm wrong. Hampel-Obviously winning U-21 in 2003 shows how much confidence affects his form. Lee Richardson-Questionable temperament under pressure and of course there is NO PRESSURE in the GP's is there? Mikael Max-Crossroads for him, will he make a come back or get worse? Hans Andersen-No Hoper. BTW-Steve T like your signature. Does Nicki approve of this one as well?

garf 0 Posted October 27, 2003 I don't understand what Hans has done wrong in this season. I think he has been riding fair and square. From my point of view he has shown a lot in the last half of the GP series. Is it a personal disliking of Hans or . . . . . ? I think some of you should behave a bit. Hans is a nice bloke.

Steve Turner 0 Posted October 27, 2003 Jonesy - What I meant by the Nicki comment, was that he himself was selected last year. Making it very important, to him. Actually, he finds it hilarious that he's (probably) the first man to become World Champion without actually qualifying for it ! And Lioness - I remember talking to Phil at Sheffield last year, saying I wanted Rory and Complin to double up with Bees, for the season just finished. And now I think it would be a huge mistake if Rory doubles with Belle Vue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KevH 257 Posted October 27, 2003 Lee Richardson, Great Britain (No thanks, then he'd find out just how it feels to get shat on) Blimey Steve, I'd be interested to hear your comments about riders you're not keen on who don't ride for your team. ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 Posted October 27, 2003 Hans has plenty of fans in this country, garf. And I'm sure he doesn't care that I don't like him. Nor me, although I did like his great, great, great grandfather Hans Christian Andersen. Steve...It is quite spooky how much you and I think alike. I feel the same about Richardson as well.
