Daytripper 1,123 Posted December 11, 2015 Bjarne is bringing his tuner , Brian Karger over for the first week of the season to help get his set ups spot on. He would not be going to that sort of time and effort, not to mention considerable expense if he was not going to bother. I think maybe the doom and gloom merchants should at least back off a bit until a few results start coming through. Plenty of time to pounce if he flops after the first few meetings.

Paddy The Rebel 300 Posted December 11, 2015 Lets hope Bjarne and Kennett get on better than when they were in the Poole team together!Thats what i was just thinking,team spirit will be high with those 2... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted December 12, 2015 When Bjarne rode for Poole, his best away tracks were Coventry and Lakeside. Pretty sure he scored 21 points at Lakeside as well! He hasn't been good on his last couple of visits to Coventry scoring 6 & 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steven101 103 Posted December 12, 2015 Being an eastbourne fan, bjarnes not the worst signing in the world, he is a real team man and will bring tonnes of experience for the younger members of the team, hope he can re capture his form this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vincent Vega 135 Posted December 12, 2015 Well lets see what happens hopefully the Eastbourne Bjarne will turn up for us next season. Mr Karger is a Hammers legend he will know about engine set ups for Purfleet and BP has ridden enough laps there aswell to know the best combination. Any ideas for the last rider guys?

Vincent Vega 135 Posted December 12, 2015 Tony BK rode for us 1991-1993 the track hasnt changed at all we had a fence then remember. Cheers VV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve9 15 Posted December 12, 2015 I'm sure he will be more committed than he was for Leicester..............he'd be hard pressed not to be! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyE 822 Posted December 12, 2015 Tony BK rode for us 1991-1993 the track hasnt changed at all we had a fence then remember. Cheers VV Both the 'shape' and length were changed although it is now a similar length to the 1991 track save for the inside of the corner approaches and exits being taken in somewhat.

June01 270 Posted December 13, 2015 What's Swiderski's average currently? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Voice Of Reason 2,124 Posted December 13, 2015 What's Swiderski's average currently?3.87 Otherwise known as 'a steal'. And a much better option than Bjarne Pedersen in my opinion - even if Piotr brough his Mother over as a mechanic. She'd probably have more of a clue than Brian Karger!

weeman1 1 Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) To be honest I don't see Bjarne Pedersen to be bad signing in this Elite league, if you look at other teams , I can see similar riders at third in the averages for there team. The issue is more that Nilsson is our 2nd average heat leader in this league. the fact that he has that average at being a second string for the last couple of years, I would of preferred a top three aj bech and Pedersen. Don't get me wrong I love that Nilsson at Arena Essex, always think he is going to score us double points at home but away he is not that great. Where I think with Bech, he can do the job home and away and can improve his average. I think wolves have picked up a bargain. Think the Final rider will be Lawson depending on Glasgow moving to Friday nights. If not him then Peter Karlsson.

I think PK would be a great fit as a s/string but rumour has it he is not ultra keen to come to the EL next season which would be a great shame for his British career to end that way but IMO maybe it is just the money on the table from Wolves who knows?
