Maybe once or twice he hasn't looked for his team mate but generally i think he does, Holder never team rides, Darcy used to team ride Holder. All speedway riders are journeymen! Hans will be missed, we may win the league but it won't be because we got rid of Hans.
A lot of people have said Fricke is the best young Australian rider and will be in the GP's, personally he has never convinced me he is the required standard.
Fricke should be the best rider, what's the matter with him, we are always being told how good he is and will be a regular in the gp's in the future yet he can't win races in his own country.
Why would you travel to ride for another club when you can ride for your local club. Speedway riders have to travel to wherever their club is but if you don't need to why would you do it.
But the main point would be is that he would rather ride for the club he has supported and has in his heart.
Yes I admit I like Hans always have and I agree he isn't getting any better but Hans is a real team man who helps a lot in the pits too and I think he will be missed. Also a team needs good reliable riders as well as riders likely to improve a lot.
You wouldn't need to replace Hans because he wouldn't underperform, Sundstrom is much more of a risk and starts on a lower average so would have less to play with to replace on a one for one basis.
If it is Sundstrom I don't see he is better than Hans and will do well to achieve the 7.75 average that Hans achieved last season. Personally think it will turn out to be a mistake not getting Hans back.
He doesn't need to retract anything. We all know he gets some good info now and again but Matt Ford said himself in the paper he couldn't use him because of the rules so it is obviously a wind up.
