But Holder does thing,s in the right manor and if he loses he takes it like a man does Nicki ? I really enjoyed the meeting,Crump i thought he rode some terrific lines didnt look mega quick but what a racing brain.I backed him to regain the title so he,s in the mix just hope Jason enjoys his racing so therefore he will prelong his career.He must be pleased he knows he can mix it and everyyear he believes he can still win the title then hopefully he carries on would love him to equal Briggoe,s record.The 3 young danes looked good and was great for England,s NO1 bomber to be on the pace Chris has been riding really well for the last 5 weeks pleased for him a proper racer and a nice bloke.

The master cant keep crying wolf is becoming a bit of a fraud now.

Olsen or Pedersen? ole different gravy a different class Nicki was embarrassing tonight a schoolboy bully ole would of wiped the floor with him.

Correct and you are rght Andrews i would say better than all you named and Andrews nephew? looks a prospect.?

Bob Andrews?

Be nice Oldace if people who saw Ole regular more than you and i could comment.Hasse i respect his opinion as he has seen Ole regular what a treat that must of been.For me also Ole was a suberb team man a great captain got loads of points out of others over the years ex) Shirra Guglielmi a great motivator and on tv with Newbon was great for speedway.

Hasse i never watched Ole as much as you but i see quite alot of him but if i was betting my last pound on a best of 20 races Ole would beat him no doubt in my mind.Go on you tube and watch Ole take Collins from the back in the BLRC at hyde rd.At that time PC was awesome there and nearly unbeatable.The thing with Olsen was he would of took no messing from Pedersen ? was ruthless and as a rider could do anything.Also if Nicki was quick in front then how quick was Olsen?Cant take nothing away from Pedersen his achievements outstanding better than Olsen No.

I think it is just a bit of fun and peoples opinions differ so much,who is right?nobody just opinions when judging do you go on achievements or actual riding ability.On all the posts i wouldnt disagree with any of them because people may of seen more of certain riders than others Chunky is right Banger Jansson would certainly be high up in the list of Swedes.

Dirty rider he would not be in my all time top 30 Sigalos both Morans better and others.But Nickki is a terrific rider , Olsen 3 titles Pedersen 3 tiles no contest Ole different gravy would wipe the floor with Pedersen.

Races i admire you with Nielsen as we have had great debate over him.Myself i was wrong i think i watched him quite regular for a 3 year period he was a machine,Hagonshocker me mate saw more of him than me but Olsen in my own mind was better Erik was debatable i think Hans and erik remind me of Tyson and Holyfield trilogy in boxing Tyson by far the better fighter but Evander had his number?Erik did he have Han,s number? Nielsens record speaks for itself and after big disapointments came back what a mega mental capacity.to do that.Just feel Hans would not of dominated Penhall Lee maybe Shawn(what a rider) and Erik at there peak certainly all of those had great head to head records with him.Crump senior a legend him and Sanders would defo be in the ten.(Races are you saying i am bias towards Crump senior. ?

I dont compare Nicki to Niels but in the series Pedersen has had loads of second chances ok a terrific rider he has won 3 titles.But in history he wont go down high up because of the way he does things incidents galore.Ok win do you have to win at all costs? Iversen my gripe is at him being overlooked for Jensen Pedersen fair play to him his title challenge will fizzle out i dont want him winning a fourth title no way by the way Hasse is Niels ancient your Buddy Freddie has had millions of chances

Ive always rated Iversen and am so pleased he has shown his true class and ability for Kings Lynn.As for the wildcard i think it isnt far short of a disgrace him not getting the nod.Is there alot of politics involved with the Denmark federation? and lets not forget as well as Nicki has done he has been given plenty of chances when he has struggled so they shouldnt throw that at Niels well he has had his chance.I think Jensen should have to be a bit more consistent over a period to have at this moment in time get that chance in front Niels.Saying that it is great that Jensen and maybe Kildemand will taste a bit of the gp exsperience i am just sorry it is at Niels exspence.Does something smell fishy with this decision? I feel sorry also for the Lynn fans i would think all would be proud of the way Niels has rode for them.

Great shout Shocker most i would agree with i left Huxley and Duggan out purely because time wasnt kind to them.Would have PCrump higher than no 10 also Boulger and Airey would be in my top 10.And Arne Pander would be in my top 10 danes.

Agree with you and TWK Khlynovski was a top class rider also i feel Trofimov was very decent.He beat Michanek in 1975 and ruined his title chances(Anders scored 13 pts) also the Gordeev brothers i see in touring teams were very good. Sorry Cockney Ole in front of Hans ? very close though also Gundersen generally had Nielsen,s number.

Good call BOBBATH i wasnt a fan of Ross but was top class for Wimbledon though. Really interesting as people will all have different views Cockney, Australia. 1.JCrump 2.Sanders 3. J Young 4.P.Crump 5.Ward/Holder who both might yet aclipse some of those named. Denmark .1.Olsen 2.Gundersen 3.Nielsen 4.Pedersen 5.Knudsen the Russians i wouldnt like to say Plechanov i never did see ride but would say he is the no 1.Poland 1.Gollob 2.Plech(AT HIS BEST a close 2nd 3.Jancarz very classy.

Was going through my books and programmes,and out of the four nations i picked England,New Zealand,Sweden,Usa are these the top five in some peoples opinion?England 1.Craven 2.Lee 3.Collins 4.Farndon 5.Parker New Zealand. 1.Briggs 2.Moore 3.Mauger 4.Shirra 5.Ross Sweden 1.Fundin 2.Michanek 3.Rickardsson 4.Knutsson 5.T.Jansson Usa 1.Penhall 2.Hancock 3.Milne 4.Autrey 5.Ermolenko.

Sorry i knew he was out for a while must of been a bad knee injury thats why i thought it was in Australia.Hope he does well because i think he has ability.

Ksiezak was he once connected to Poole ? when he was young and on the up but then got a very bad injury later on maybe in Australia.? A decent gater i think he will do ok,really you cant afford to carry Holder,Gino, and Cockle but in two of those cases they are only pl reserves so its not there fault Glanz has done ok at reserve again he is not yet a top 5 rider.

Thanks Steve wasnt far out, Mike Hiftle did he also start with the Belle vue colts?Shows to beat that Belle Vue side was some achievement .

Chunky Belle vue was there lineup, Mauger Sjosten Pusey Roper Hemus Eyre Broadbelt? probably way off the mark maybe the year is wrong not sure about Roper?

Hyde rd was special,i think every time apart from once it Piddled with rain the 1983 BLRC was like a swamp.Odviously Rebel West Ham means alot to you and you still have your memories.

Rebel i have pictures was West Ham really big? they used to have alot of British Finals and other big events there too didnt they.Also Old Meadowbank looked a massive track too i am sure they had a world final anglo inter continental final a superb line up i think 1971? Briggo maybe was only reserve? the only time since the 50s that he hadnt qualfied not gospel thou.

Yes i have done that in my youth Keef which was a long time ago my dad always wondered how i came home with loads of programmes.(with the money i saved).Funny thing is loads of blokes i knew used to get in by the greyhound traps on the dear side great days my week was lived looking towards every saturday sad really.

Thanks Iris you know more about the Denmark scene than i ,Bach i remember i got a dvd of the Berwick(v Newcastle pl match Bach impressed me.I think Kildemand could be better than Jensen, i am not convinced with him Jensen quick but a bit hit and miss ..Can he come from the back against top opposition in my opinion no .Kildemand has got alot to do but i think at his best he is more versatile than Jensen.

Frank Varey, Dent Oliver two speedway legends.
