f-s-p 832 Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) Reading this weeks Spar I found to my amazement that Jan Staechmann has been sacked by the Danish federation DMU from his role as the team manager and coach of Danish speedway. I only know him by a handfull of quick conversations around the European tracks but have NEVER met a person such as him. He loves (-d) his work, was good at it and was appreciated by his riders (of course I dont know for sure) and looked up to by his rivals (this one is 100 % certain ). Reasons mentioned for the axe to fall on him are a bit iffy... Following whats been going on in Sweden I've been wondering whats the point whith all the changes, but having seen Svemo's calendar page 3 I've wondered have the people in charge not been really in contact whats actually happening? Mentioned in the interview is that the DMU wants to keep training days during the season weekly, twice at least. I DO WONDER how that can be arranged, since the Danes are riding meetings in the UK daily. Some even have 10+ Danish riders from the needed 14 at times... He was too good for the job. If I had the money, I'd hire hime for a rider of my choice. We already have a good coach/tm so no positions open by that calibre...

Dexter 1 Posted November 15, 2010 There were some issues between Stekkers and Leon Madsen if I am not mistaken? This may have been one of the reasons? I don't really see any other reason why decision like that would be made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't really see any other reason why decision like that would be made. yeah. Stekkers didn't want to have Madsen in the team due to Madsen's "incident" with the silencer.

DMU made an official statement later (before SWC) that the issues were between DMU and Madsen. Stekkers had nothing to do with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dabbsjoe 149 Posted November 15, 2010 isn't Nikki P still re-organising his team for the GP's ? Maybe Stekkers could end up with some involvement in this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
