Wrong, the averages say different. Masters improved every year from 2016 - 2018. 7.18 to 7.92 to 8.11. It was only this season that his average dropped. Jacob climbed from 7.06 to 8.64 a huge climb in 2017 but hasn’t improved on that the past 2 seasons although he did increase his average slightly this season from 2018.

You were proved wrong yet still bleat on.

Agree they are real reasons, which to me says he probably is well past his best. He seemed to go missing in meetings when the conditions or track didn’t suit him plus of course he was hardly committed to Kings Lynn. Ditto. Some seem to think it’s common knowledge. Seems odd that it isn’t common knowledge.

Must pay attention

Yep edited. Which changes the information.

Apologies. 2018.

I’d agree, he wouldn’t be a poor signing for any club. Just the commitment the issue. As discussed know one has more experience of British tracks than Iversen. You have a point regards Foxhall tho. home average 8.73, away 5.60. So Foxhall wasn’t the issue. looking at his 2019 stats in full for Ipswich. Home average 8.00 from 4 matches. Away average 5.43 from 3 matches. His 7 match Ipswich average (all competitions) is 6.97.

Don’t think he bothers here anymore. He is prolific on the Wolves Facebook sites. Must admit I’m surprised at the comment. I just think they were planning to use Nicol whatever happened which to me seems odd planning. Huge pressure on Broc or the other 6 which is unfair either way. Unless the management know something we don’t know it all seems very odd planning. Unless of course there is still a surprise to come at number one although given the comments made it seems both Sam and Jacob will be included. My own personal thoughts however is that they still have fully committed to both of them because you can sure one of them will be at Ippo/Lynn/Peterborough and they too are holding back announcements. Could be a coincidence of course.

And? He is a GP rider with years of experience in the UK, more than most. Probably only Doyle of the best riders has more UK experience.

How long are people going to keep using that as an excuse? It could be that all those issues have caused the steady decline of a world class rider (which wouldn’t be surprising). He still performs to a decent standard abroad but it’s been clear his UK form for years has been at best chequered with commitment issues.

Yet Iversen only achieved a small difference from 7.38 in 2018 to 7.54 in 2019. International averages have little to do with UK form which is more the point I’m making. Riders certainly don’t put the same priority to their UK racing as they do abroad which is evidenced by some of the most recent top line riders UK averages. (Holder, Iversen, KK, Zagar) edit. Above figures altered as used wrong year average as comparison.

Don’t think he would easily. Iversen dropped from 7.87 to 7.54 during his short spell with Ipswich, and I don’t see Holder at that standard any more either.

He was poor last time with Poole, a club he is meant to be the only club he wants to ride for. He had been in steady decline during his time in the UK 2 seasons ago. Of course if he really wanted to come back to prove a point then he would be a good bet because he has had the ability in the past.

Depends who you believe. PA said the reason behind the points limit was because they were unsure if Nicol would be a 4 or 6 (not sure what the uncertainty has been around the average as I’ve seen others suggest it would be reassessed to 5/ use his CL converted average/ be a 4/ and now possibly a 6). Im not convinced the team was built around getting a number one either. Although the evidence on the spare points would certainly point to that.

7.16 (last official average from 2017). Cant see much improvement in that tbh.

Yes you are STILL on about despite being proven wrong from the off. Some people really can’t let being wrong go. If you need any further proof how embarrassing it’s becoming just read the 2 quoted posts below.

You dismissed the examples you were given so you were already proven incorrect. As per usual. Glad we’ve cleared that up. More and more names being added but still in denial. Blue tint as per.

very similar to last year, looks decent enough to be challenging and possibly on a par with the expected Wolves line up. Needs quite a bit of improvement throughout tho to be in with a real shout. Kildemand could be all the difference tho imho.

I could do so much better if you had any credible response. I’m sure your next post will name mission impossible 2. Pure comedy gold tho.

And Holders ever declining average in the UK tells it’s own story too. Holder never liked Monmore despite him having the odd decent meeeting there. His general demeanour was he didn’t even want to try. That’s the mark of a rider who has poor attitude than anything else. The likes of Holder and KK have poor UK averages from a time when the standard of the league wasn’t strong as well.

whereas your statements change with every post, goal post changer.

In other words I’m not going to enter into a meaningful debate with someone who changes the goal post to suit. The original point that you replied to was quickly quashed by Steve0 who replied before I had chance to, which as expected exposes your comments and replies as Ill thought out at best but great for comedy value. Somethings never change, like your argument that Poole is a great track. Frankly laughable.

No worries. It will be a great shame if they let Swindon down but we have to believe they will deliver as promised.

Poole threads were always good value, comedy value anyway. RIP the comedy blue tints.
