david2905 230 Posted May 24, 2014 Where do you think he will ride in the riding order, might be best to put him with King or barker, as both have had a lot of laps at PB, it should be good on Wednesday. Nermarks a safer pair of hands for a newbie IMO, Barkers had two collisions with teammates recently and King would be better with Covatti. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd not want to put any newcomer with Nermark! Anyway, in the current format there are no pairs any more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser McHuge 589 Posted May 25, 2014 Some of us old enough to remember Finn Jensen will have heard all the fanfares and promises of great things before...only to have been let down. Let's hope that this guy is the real deal and adapts quickly and bangs in the points, else it won't be long before Adam Skornicki will have recovered, gets his team place back, and that might be the last we see of Zmarzlik. I can never remember Finn Jensen being hailed as the next big thing at all....and what a rider from about 30 years ago or so has to do with the signing of a 19 year old today is beyond me.. There are no guarantees in speedway and Zmarzlik may be good or he may disappoint but it certainly looks an exciting signing on paper to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P T Preece 262 Posted May 25, 2014 Didnt Finn get a maximum in his first meeting and then perform badly at the next one, I also cant remember him being hailed as a world beater. Its not like it is today, most riders then you didnt know about till they signed for you, never heard of him till he turned up, still he did give us some great performances, but in short supply.

Villain 94 Posted May 25, 2014 The Pedaler is prepared to dig as deep as possible in order to find something negative about anything Brum related so it's no surprise that he went for a 30 year old tenuous comparison. Hopefully he'll burn himself out. He may even attend a meeting following the signing of BZ, after all he does extoll the virtues of the sport in Poland.

Leicester Hunter 381 Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) I can never remember Finn Jensen being hailed as the next big thing at all.... That's right, he was hailed as the next most promising youngster from Denmark - following on from Alf Busk Didnt Finn get a maximum in his first meeting and then perform badly at the next one No, you're thinking of August Bank Holiday Monday 1979, when he scored zilch at Exeter in the morning, and a 12 point maximum against the same club at Perry Barr in the evening.

There's a very strong possibility he's already attended a meeting this year. Edited May 25, 2014 by Leicester Hunter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted May 25, 2014 A couple of years ago, Skornicki recommended two young Poles to Wolves. Sowka and Zmarzlik. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brummie Kev 519 Posted May 25, 2014 Where do you think he will ride in the riding order, might be best to put him with King or barker, as both have had a lot of laps at PB, it should be good on Wednesday. I would go for 1. King 2. Covatti 3. Barker 4. Nermark 5. Zmarzlik King at 1, hes done okay in the last few meetings at Perry Barr. I would prefer to keep Zmarzlik away from Nermark , so number 5 it is. Two rides with BB and two with Danny. I just hope Jack Lee puts Covatti at 2, I see hes at 4 again tomorrow which makes no sense . You want your better second string at 4, esp if meetings run close. Nico can be good but can also be bad, nermark done well this year, makes better sense to have him at 4. A couple of years ago, Skornicki recommended two young Poles to Wolves. Sowka and Zmarzlik. Lets hope he isnt another Sowka then but from what Ive seen of him he looks really good, just has limited experience on the smaller tracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,824 Posted May 26, 2014 As a certificate holder at a Level 1 'Introduction to Polish Language' and 'Conversational Polish' Language courses,your pronounciation of Bartosz Zmarzliks name is exceptional. I know he's one of TNTs favourite riders too,and would have looked the part in an old gold and black race jacket,but he 'll be lining up in a red and yellow one instead! And mine and I agree great pronounciation stevebrum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy Sweetman 480 Posted May 30, 2014 Worrying news for Brum fans this morning regarding Zmarzlik.A report by Nigel Pearson in the B,ham Mail states that his future is now in the balance following a report from Poland that the rider will only be allowed to ride on a match by match basis. Not the fault of the rider,but it seems to throw in doubt his immediate future with Birmingham. Never rains but it pours for the Brummies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
