Remember Nicki P demolishing the fence, Henning bager came round for a wave after running lasts, Peter juul was awful and Leon madsen took one look and refused to sign for Glasgow. I think jesper Olsen might've been decent. Rene Bach was pretty good at Armadale 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If anyone was in line to be dropped it was Paco as he has been dreadful this year (except when he's competing to get into the GP's...) I doubt get the anti Paco comments as he is averaging more than last year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last year was his first year away from Birmingham and in the main body of the side. This being his 2nd season you’d expect him to improve which he has with his average going up. Think it’s more frustration with him than anything as he’ll go out and beat the opposition number 1 one race and get beat by their reserve in their next. Lack of consistency his main issue. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaizer 2,864 Posted June 6, 2023 I'd assume if took Paco's Birmingham meeting out the stats wouldn't look so rosy this year..and now he won't have heat 14 to win every week 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom did get beaten in heats 13 and 15 in April, but I’m not sure this changes much to be honest. He’s been on great form at home this season, definitely seeing the improvement he needed to show.
