Team Gb, Hans Andersen And The Gp's


Recommended Posts

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!! :lol::wink:

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????

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 . ;)

The thing is, Poland would be strong enough without Holta, whereas GB...

 

Don't think Scotty would appreciate losing his British number 1 slot to Hans!

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. :P

I Am sick and tired of people going on about the incident with Hans at the WTC, what about when the Swedes did it at Coventry to let the Aussies win (not sure whether it was PK or not) everyone seems to have forgotten that but because the episode at Poole involved 'Tim Henman' (Scott (I am perfect) Nicholls) everyone wanted to lynch him!!!

 

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) ;);)

I hope that wasn't aimed at me - I'm a big Hans fan and I came out in support of him after that incident in 2004. 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.

I see you are still bitter that Scott finished 3 places above Hans in the GPs last year then! 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. Edited by SPEEDY69

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? :unsure:

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. :P

Ditto with the memory thing!!! can't remember which way round it was just know it happened!! Always a hate campaign where Crumpy concerned!!

There's a common misconception that all that's required is a change of licence - in this case, from Danish to British. 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.

That's not a problem as he picked up quite a good Dorset accent when he rode for Poole!!!!
