interstellar_stars 1 Posted August 12, 2013 Nicki Pedersen to sign for Schlein now... surely? I called it weeks back! After all the crap that goes on in speedway these days, that I'm ashamed to say drove me away from going, that would bring me back again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedy17 226 Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) After all the crap that goes on in speedway these days, that I'm ashamed to say drove me away from going, that would bring me back again! It would bring a lot of people back. Everything fits though. When Rory got injured we could replace with someone up to 8.2 something I believe. Nicki is on an 8.6 ish. Therefore to fit him we have to sacrafice points. The only two riders at risk of being replaced again were Lebedevs and Porsing. With Kozza's sterling performances recently, and being our own asset, it made perfect sense to bring him in. The only person he could replace is Lebedevs, to release enough points to possibly fit Nicki in. However you cannot replace an assessed rider. With Lebedevs 'quitting' the decision is taken out of Lynns hands and a replacement is permitted. With Kozza almost guaranteed to be the permanent signing, we can now fit Nicki for Rory. I just hope I'm right, although won't be suprised if it doesn't materialize. Edited August 12, 2013 by speedy17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
interstellar_stars 1 Posted August 12, 2013 Think Pedersen would consider it as realistically he's not going to be world champ again at 35, loves the lynn track (7.5 when he turned up, 9.5 when he left, world champ soon after), what better way than to top the 'retirement fund' up than have a bit of fun at the track formerly known as 'Saddlebow Road' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted August 12, 2013 Won't happen! Nicki has Danish league on the 21st and 28th and he's out of Lynn's financial reach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schlein is on 6.78 (7.12 for home guests); Pedersen was 8.61 after 20(?) meetings in 2011? Current team average (with Schlein and Lebedevs) is 41.05. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelvinht 354 Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) With tonight's showing so far, Pedersen or no Pedersen we've got no chance thats about it...... Shame about Lebedev, presumably when we brought him on board it was agreed he would borrow equipment. He does show potential, so hopefully we can get him on board next season when he sets himself up properly in the UK with his own equipment. On the plus side, hope Kozza is signed back on full time now... Edited August 12, 2013 by kelvinht Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
