Couple of extra quid after a Protest / Strike Seriously though joking aside KK done a good job for Rye House when he was last over here. If it wasn't for Rye House going under with their results being erased then KK would be on a 8+ GSA and you're getting him on a 6.86 all because he didn't bother trying during his last Poole stint because nobody made him feel welcome at the club. My memory not the best but didn't he fall out with Middlo? Also doesn't bother when it is raining either, literally waves other riders past btw. He is basically a Polish Troy Batchelor Edited November 19, 2022 by lisa-colette 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,665 Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Are we really looking at this side? 1. Klindt 7.39 2.Jorgensen 6.35 3. Palm-Toft 6.86 4. Pickering 6.14 5. Kasprzak 7.22?? 6. Jakobsen 5.04 7. Rising Star Ave: 39.00 I'm not sure this can be right. I'm certain KK's average was close to 8.00 in the 2017 averages as his 2018 average was expunged due to Rye House collapse. If so, this team doesn't fit Edited November 19, 2022 by Daniel Smith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KK did have a falling out with Middlo, but he had his UK 'manager and family' in the late Gordon Day (P.R.O. and historian) at Poole, so had plenty of 'friends', even though they were as exasperated with him as the fans were. If he was in any way dissatisfied with his racing he was renowned for 'tinkering' with his machinery often against his mechanics, other riders (and manager's) advice!!! Hence his inconsistency and being unwilling to listen! Edited November 20, 2022 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haza 1,774 Posted November 19, 2022 From what I’ve seen of KK in the past he can be spectacularly brilliant on his day but on the flip side if his heads not at the races he pulls up in races and is spectacularly frustrating- not sure who has linked him with Lynn how this rumour or not rumour started - I’d say new owners are definitely happening at Lynn because I personally couldn’t see Buster going anywhere near him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, this team doesn't fit It looks like KK will be on 6.86. If we had a proper No.1 then KK could do a decent job as a second string, on "second string" wages. It's rumoured to be his last year, and at 38 he is coming back to these shores after 5 years away for a last pay day. Add to that he will probably be on a fair size guarantee, i can't see where his motivation will come from. I hope he proves me wrong and has a great season .I'll support him of course, but i'm not sure he will last the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Middlo called him out publicly after he dropped from being the No.1 to a reserve lol. Edited November 19, 2022 by TTT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes and the prob was (idk if it was in the same season or just later) but Brady struggling just as much as No1 but that was fine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the idea of Lynn's rumoured side is to emulate P'boro's class of 2021 with six riders who could all be number one or ride at reserve, think that was the idea last season but for various reasons it didn't work out. If KK had been signed as say third heat leader in a top heavy side with weak reserves that's a different ball game but in a rock solid side I think he'll be fine.
