Am guessing either 1. No one else wanted him 2. No one could fit him in because of his average. 3. Newcastle offered him so much money that greed got the better of him and he chased the filthy lucre even though he isn't keen on the track... Just guessing like... Or as an edit 4. maybe he came to Newcastle to master a track that he has on occasions struggled at... and maybe he thought he would end up a better rider... Danes do have a penchant for making a name for themselves at Newcastle... maybe his reason for coming was totally honourable... Yep a like that reason better...

Chewbacca 653 Posted April 24, 2020 TJ is normally a gater which should suit Brough but his gating gloves let him down last season. He never got the hang of passing people which, after the first two bends, is normally done on the fourth bend. That’s where I watch from and he just went mid track all the time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very true. it was known he was a gater and is for Kings Lynn as his results show. Known as a gater, and also having the special gizmos on his bike to improve it, he regular failed to reset it at the start, and after moving first would usually be third into the 1st bend.

Regards THJ Could possibly be any one of those things. His first couple of meetings, I thought, hold on we might have something here. That didn't last long for whatever reason,,, but did seem a strange signing at the time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martinmauger 584 Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) I once asked the late, great Ivan Mauger, who knew a thing or two million about the Brough Park / Newcastle Stadium track, why he chose Newcastle for son Kym's first club. He replied (words to the effect) "it's a bit of a tricky track but if you master it you should ride all tracks better or at least you will improve as a rider. Plus the Geordies up there are great, friendly people and if they can see you are trying your best, then they will support you all the way which is very important especially when you are starting out". Couldn't have put it better myself.... Edited April 25, 2020 by martinmauger missing 4th full stop. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why did it work at KL but not Newcastle ?. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
