Mylor Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 As Team GB aren't likely to set the world alight any time soon why don't we offer HA a British licence. He may well jump at the chance as he'd probably get Lee's place in the GP's and we may just make the WTC Final!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shale Eater Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 I'd more than welcome Hans on a British license, but after all the abuse he got from the 2004 World Cup Final where Scotty flopped in a vital heat as per usual, what are the chances that Hans would stick 2 fingers up and say thanks, but no thanks????

Brightonbob Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Very funny. About as much chance of signing Pamela Anderson. At least - judging by her films - she might keep her hands on the throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Somehow i dont think going down the rune holta / poland road with hans anderson would do britains future prospects any good . We are not that desperate yet , but we could offer jason crump a british license after all he was born in bristol . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Scotty would appreciate losing his British number 1 slot to Hans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
From PC to KC. Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Bit like asking Kenny Dalglish to stand in for Wayne Rooney, no thanks. If we are not good enough tough, we just have to get on with it, lets at least keep it ENGLISH or BRITISH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DartfordHammer Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 It's a nice idea, but not a good one. Hans wouldn't do it anyway, and there are still plenty of people who are determined to hold a grudge against him for 2004. As said, better to offer it to Crumpy, at least he was born here.

Hans will I am sure be World Champion one day and whether you like him or not he is a very talented rider and is exciting to watch (have followed him since he came over and rode for Poole) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He, along with Mark Loram, Joonas Kylmäkorpi and Tomasz Gollob is one of my favourite riders to watch, and although I'm sad to see him not in the GP's this year his league form has been great and he's making a great claim to be reinstated next season. If he goes well at Parken, then I think it's almost guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there really any need to make childish comments against him all the time? Think you will find the reaction was louder because it affected the British team, which is who most of the fans in Britain support at the World Cup.

Agree with you Hansfan. My memory is terrible so you'll have to excuse me if I get this wrong, but I thought the Australia - Sweden thing was the other way round? Didn't the Australian duo not try very hard in their race against Sweden, which messed it up for England? So if we are still blaming riders for things that supposedly were done on purpose then we should include Jason Crump and Leigh Adams in the "hate campaign" as well.

But it's not. Holta rode for Poland because Holta is a Polish citizen. Andersen would need to become a British citizen to qualify to ride for Team GB.
