T.N.T. Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 The annual individual meeting, the BANK'S OLYMPIQUE at Wolverhampton Speedway takes place this Tuesday evening where riders are handicaped in their next ride if they have scored points. The meeting always features top riders, second strings and new riders and with the handicap system it always creates good races and plenty of passing. Club legend Sam Ermolenko, 1993 World Champion will be making a one off track appearance in the meeting ..... not a demonstration ride ..... actually in the line up after making a successful track return in New York in August. He will be joined by fans favourite, Adam Skornicki who will be making the trip over from his Leszno base and hopefully do his trademark dough nutsone more time. Coventry duo Scott Nicholls (British Champion) and Eddie Kennett, Birmingham skipper Danny King, Swindon’s Peter Kildemand and American ace Ryan Fisher who won the Gary Peterson meeting are also included along with Parrys International Wolves stars like Fredrik Lindgren, Nicolai Klindt, Ricky Wells, Pontus Aspgren and Jacob Thorssell. Hopefully Tai Woffinden will also be in the line up but Ty Proctor has had to return to Australia early to get treamnt on an old hip injury so he can be ready for the Australian Campionships. End of season firework finale will close the curtain on the 2012 Season Really looking forward to this one !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Using the term 'Olympique' (and yes, I KNOW it's been used by the Wolves for decades!) may be a trifle risky in this 2012 year..?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.N.T. Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 No lindgren or schlien either or any other big names. Could it be cos so near to elrc No Freddie ?

greyhoundp Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 For me thats a really disapointing line up, sorry to say, should be called The Freddie Benefit meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 id have thought roynon would have got a few extra heathens on the door,maybe ash as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I would think the original plan to ask Royno but since his injury Tom was asked in his place. Wolves could have hardly been expected to twiddle thumbs waiting to see whether Royno would be fit again this season. I've seen better and worse line-ups than that.

BWitcher Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 The point of the Olympique is to have a mixture of riders in it, thus creating the situation where the top riders have to work there way through from the back. Too many top riders it could become a bit spread out.. although, the quality of the field is a lot lower in latter years than it was when Sam Ermolenko was in his heyday for instance.
