sommelier 1,118 Posted September 17, 2016 initIt was Erik Gundersen, it was plastered all over the Speedway Star at the time.... Yes you are correct regarding Eric, but Hans definitely run a training school at Reading Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robert72 845 Posted September 17, 2016 Yet another false claim. Surely not? Is it really ? Hans Won 22 World Titles and so far Tai has Won 2 However you and Bwitcher somehow think tai will be as successful as Hans LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Incidentally when Hans first come over to the Uk he stayed at my parents house for a short time Yes I thought it was 21 aswel but it said 22 online During his career, Nielsen won a total of 22 World Championships, making him arguably the most successful speedway rider of all time. Hans was the ultra professional rider and great to watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martinmauger 587 Posted September 17, 2016 Yeah, Briggo helped Tatum in 1985/86 (87?) on speedway then Mauger had a little involvment with Kelv's later longtrack wins. Think Mauger also had the odd word with with Simon Wigg, as again did Briggo I think, from time to time.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hans Won 22 World Titles and so far Tai has Won 2 However you and Bwitcher somehow think tai will be as successful as Hans LOL If tai wins 5 individual titles I think he will be regarded as more successful.No world pairs title these days which gave Hans 7 of his. And tai's backup in the swc of the likes of Harris cook king etc. doesn't really compare with gundersen pedersen and knudsen does it?

BWitcher 12,453 Posted September 19, 2016 Is it really ? Hans Won 22 World Titles and so far Tai has Won 2 However you and Bwitcher somehow think tai will be as successful as Hans LOL Individual world titles are how riders from different countries should be judged. Tai can do nothing about the level of his fellow countrymen. As such, Tai has every change of emulating Hans. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
