Workington/Torun Zuzel Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Do any of our Swedish members know if the ex-Comets and Valsarna rider Peter I Karlsson is still riding speedway?? He got a bad concussion in the 2004 season opener at Workington while riding for the Valsarna touring team but I don't know if he ever properly recovered. I havent seen any mentions of him in the Speedway Star reports on Swedish League meetings. Any info on Peter would be most welcome.... Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Didnt he retire as his wife/partner had a baby? Also, didn't he ride in a meeting or two as a replacement for Simon Stead in 2004? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Workington/Torun Zuzel Posted May 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 P.I.K did ride a couple of meetings for Workington in 2003 in place of Simon Stead but his last ride at Derwent Park was in the ill-fated 2004 season opener between Comets and Valsarna His cool, classy riding style and laid back Swedish character made him a firm favourite at Derwent Park. I think the main reason he decided not to return to the Comets was both the birth of their baby and also a change in the airline schedules which made it difficult to get to and from Workington when he wanted to spend more time with his family. Be great to see P.I.K back in Cumbria one day though.... Thanks for all the great memories mate!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
