I'd be very grateful if someone could post Hans' BL Stats from 1991 onwards.

 

i.e. M R P B T Av F P

 

to include League, KO Cup & League Cup if possible.

 

A big call I know, but would really appreciate any info - every little bits helps - thanks anyway.

Sorry mate, not this time (although I can guarantee Hans got plenty of maximums in the years you're after.)

 

Rob Peasley will should have records of Hans' time at Oxford. Send him a 'pm'.

 

You should try the same with Gambo for the Cov stats.

 

Good luck :)

 

Let me know if ya fall short Kevin, and I'll see what I can do :rolleyes:

Looks like you were bored last night, Kev. Did you have no-one to talk to? :wink::P

 

I have stats for you, Kev. Hans was World Champion five times and was a fairly good rider :rolleyes:

Cheers Steve, appreciate that mate.

 

 

He scored three full and one paid maximum in 1992.

 

Now for the rest....

 

Many thanks Norbold, if you can find the other details that'll save me pming people.

 

 

OK, maybe 4 times. Even the best can get it wrong sometimes.

 

Don't you just hate it when that happens? :lol::lol:

Kevin,

 

I'm sure I have got those figures, I'll have a dig around tomorrow night.

 

All the best

Rob

 

P.S. Rami, Hans Nielsen topped the British domestic averages seven years on the trot (1984-1990), a feat never matched, while Erik Gundersen - while a great rider - never managed it once. No contest, I think :D

From a neutral point of view, as I disliked both Hans and Erik equally being a Bradford fan(!), I would have to say Nielsen was the better rider for me. That's not taking anything away from Gundersen who was pretty special but of the two I would have rather seen Nielsen riding for my side.

 

Hans is right up there with Ivan, Tony and Ove in the very top bracket.

 

3 times winner and 3 times runner up (2 of which only came after a run off) from 84 to 89. Only Fundin and Mauger have put together such good runs in the top 2.

 

He then had a couple of quiet years and looked like he'd lost a bit of egde before he came back to challenge.

 

In 93 he was perhaps unlucky not to at least get another run off chance although Ermolenko was perhaps the better rider on the day. Desperately unlucky in 94 although he did get a run off chance he was the best rider and should have won it. Champion in 95 and just pipped by Hamill in 96.

 

10 top 2 finishes which isn't matched by Mauger, Rickardsson or Fundin! Pretty damn good however you look at it!

true ... Nielsen was the better 'all round' rider, but Gundersen was the one to have for world final night.

 

Nielsen looked more comfortable and had a style you couldn't miss whereas Gundersen would adapt his for each situation as it presented itself.

 

Two great riders though, and i feel privelidged to have seen both through their careers.
