Opinionated Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Article from our local rag… thisisplymouth.co.uk I don’t know what to believe any more. Im under the impression he is riding in the World U21 Final at Berwick on that Saturday? Also under DMU rules, all their riders have a 48 hour restriction put on them before the meeting. Therefore, that would put him out of the Friday meeting at Somerset as well. That is of course unless the DMU have changed their stance? On the Glasgow v Plymouth thread, questions were raised about Bech riding at Glasgow last Sunday. Strange how he topped scored for his Polish club at the very same time he should have been at Ashfield? Im not sure what time the meeting up there was called off, but it wouldn’t have given him much time to arrange a flight out to Poland. Or had it all been previously arranged?, and therefore short changing all the fans who might have turned up especially to watch him? Not to mention the travelling fans, as I didn’t see any pr suggesting he wouldn’t have been there. Now you see him…….now you don’t…… Shame really, as he is a genuine talent and is exciting to watch The article……. DANISH sensation Mikkel Bech has turned his back on a hefty pay-day to help keep Plymouth Devils in the Premier League play-offs race, Herald Sport has learned. Bech, 17, already a world cup winner with Denmark, was due to ride in Germany next Saturday, when Devils take on southwest rivals Somerset Rebels at home next Saturday. Plymouth, who take on Rebels in Somerset next Friday, must win both meetings if they want to keep their play-offs hopes alive. A Devils without Bech is like a dog without a tail these days as the teenager not only wins big points for Plymouth, but also entertains the crowd while he's doing it. Team manager Lee Trigger said Bech's loss for the Somerset home meeting would have put the city speedway club in a difficult position. The Devils have been riddled with injuries, a process which began in May when number one Ty Proctor was badly enough hurt to end his season. Latest rider to have a trip to the physio is skipper Cory Gathercole, who is suffering from a dislocated shoulder. Simon Nielsen and Todd Kurtz are both carrying knocks, although all three turned out for Devils in their shock 46-44 away win at league leaders Workington Comets on Saturday. Trigger said the Dane was willing to give up his trip to Germany to ride for Plymouth, who have an outside chance of making the Premier's top six and the play-offs. The Devils' team boss said: "The meeting in Germany is about big crowds and big money. "Mikkel was due to be absent from the team on Saturday so he could ride over there, but he's decided to ride for us instead. "He signed up for the meeting before he joined us (earlier in the season), but he loves it so much at Plymouth he's decided to give up what should be a meeting which earns him money to ride for us. "I think that shows that a big rider like that – and he is – recognises that we as a club have a lot of ambition." Meanwhile, Bech is due to become a Plymouth 'asset' in two meetings' time. The Dane had to appear in a total of eight meetings – four home and four away – before the Devils owned his contract. Bech has one home meeting, against Redcar this Saturday, and one away, probably against Somerset next Friday before Devils own his contract. Trigger said that situation, when it comes about, could mean a significant amount of money for the club. He said: "Mikkel should be our asset on Friday on Friday, August 9. "If he didn't ride for us next year, we can loan him out to other clubs. "And if an Elite League club comes in for him, we could get quite a substantial amount of money for him."

Wasnt there rumours that he was already the asset of an EL club under some silly protected asset scenario? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Plymouth,Bech becomes an asset when he completes another couple of meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang on Screm. You're right, his talent is massive and undoubted. He also knows how to interact with the spectators and TBH already has us in the palm of his hand! Can anyone name me a PL promotion that WOULDN'T be delighted to name him as an asset? This is a recorded aim of the Devils promotion and as far as I'm concerned more power to its elbow. If it comes to pass I for one will be absolutely delighted. Finally, in my view 'Opinionated' comes with an agenda and a massive stirring implement. Best ignored. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny the spud Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Rasmus Jensen. That's a good British name !! Nice to see clubs giving young British riders the chance to improve eh ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brujas Espanolas Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) Rasmus Jensen. That's a good British name !! Nice to see clubs giving young British riders the chance to improve eh ? Rasmus is a Dane, and great mates with Cameron Heeps. Surprised you don't remember him practising at Foxhall. Coming in on an assessed seven point average, there is a school of thought that Plymouth are being used to get his average down, thereby making him rather attractive to another promotion next season. Pure speculation of course and only time will tell how things pan out. Edited August 1, 2013 by Brujas Espanolas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewy Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Rasmus Jensen. That's a good British name !! Nice to see clubs giving young British riders the chance to improve eh ? do you know of any that could do a job in the main body of the team,didnt think so its all very well banging on about giving brits a chance but to be honest thier is not many around that are worth trying we had ben read at the beginning of the season at reserve and i think it did him more harm than good as he wasnt ready and this effected his confidence and severely dented his finances because he wasnt making any money at prem level,the fact that thier is no outstanding british talent coming through is not plymouths fault but british speedway in general! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
