TonyMac Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 HANS NIELSEN is our big name exclusive in issue 11 which, after a slight delay while we put the Wiggy book to print, has now gone to press and will be mailed out to all subscribers next Friday (print presses permitting). The Main Dane has given Backtrack a candid interview and no doubt most people will turn straight to the page where he talks about his feud with Ole Olsen in the mid-80s. Hans has some pretty strong things to say about that and he's also commenting on current affairs from Denmark's perspective. He thinks it's wrong that Hans Andersen has been axed from the GP seeds for next year. And he reckons Nicki Pedersen will win another GP title. Hans says he would probably have won another two or three world titles if the GP had been introduced from the start of the 80s . . . or if Frank Ebdon hadn't been in charge of the 1993 & '94 World Finals! At least John Berry sticks up for Frank in his profile on Nielsen in this issue. What a nice guy that Johnnie Boulger is, too. Really candid and modest about himself and his career, saying he lacked the professionalism of the top riders and that he let down the Leicester team and fans when he returned for his second spell at Blackbird Road, because he spent the 1977 season experimenting with four-valve engine set-ups at the expense of his Lions' performances. Hans Nielsen and John Boulger . . . just two good reasons why you should now subscribe to Backtrack - if you haven't already done so. There aren't many better ways to spend 16 quid!

robpeasley Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Tony, Really looking forward to reading the Nielsen interview. Though, of course, the referee of the '94 final was Dutchman Henry Van Der Boomen not Frank Edbon. Some of the worst refereeing ever in the second Vojens World Final, in particular to regards to some of the first bend incidents. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
