Hackett Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Did MM ride enough matches to qualify as a Eastbourne asset ? If not I fear he will be Poole bound. I believe Mikkelsen didn't ride enough meetings to become an Eastbourne asset however Eagles get first option on whether to use him. MM on the average has to be signed but in fairness the promotion know that and said the very same at back end of last season. Just depends if Danish sponsors & commitments etc allow him to ride Sat nights. All Eastbourne fans want him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) With the riders already signed it would leave us with very little which includes the 1 that has not been announced yet. So cant see him coming to Poole. Edited December 11, 2013 by Pirates Of Poole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vazte20 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Personally I think that MM will be going to Wolves... Looks like Dryml will end up going back seeing as he has his own little fan club, yes great around Arlington but always goes missing when he's on the road. A popular things with Eastbourne squads over the last 4 or 5 seasons "travel-sickness" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSmiler Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I really do wonder how the Eagles fans feel sometimes? The same old riders year in year out? The same sort of standard each season? Do you not feel your side is stale? The team so far doesn't look too inspiring to me, and unless you pull Michelsen out of the hat (my bet is he's at Poole), I can see a similar position in the league again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought at the end of last season if we could build a team around Lahti, Michelsen and Kim things in the garden would start to look rosey... We have five riders comfirmed, none of whom are Lahti, Michelsen or Kim !! My box of last years mince pies less stale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 It would be such a shame for Eastbourne to lose mm but doubly to another elite team. You would think the promotion would realise the fans are bored of seeing the same old same old. It's ok when riders are improving but can't see much improvement so far It would be such a shame for Eastbourne to lose mm but doubly to another elite team.

Guest Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Whether or not we sign MM will define our season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest max316 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Maybe the management didn't want to do a double announcement.A few days and we will know one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrB Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Whether or not we sign MM will define our season.Important yes but for me what will define our season is can our top two consistently get the better of the opposition top two as races against easier opposition for the top two will surely be less with the change of race format this year.

T.N.T. Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I believe Mikkelsen didn't ride enough meetings to become an Eastbourne asset however Eagles get first option on whether to use him. MM on the average has to be signed but in fairness the promotion know that and said the very same at back end of last season. Just depends if Danish sponsors & commitments etc allow him to ride Sat nights. All Eastbourne fans want him back. He did 5 home and 2 away league meetings scoring 52 (54) +10 points from 37 rides giving him an average of 5.62 (6.70) but remains a 5.00 assessed rider Bjarne obviously did a good job for them last season and Woodward is Mr Eastbourne but I fully expected Michelsen along with Gustafsson or Lahti to also be included in next seasons line up leaving 7.37 or 7.74 for the last place so Kylmakorpi fits in that billing so it may be much the same yet again at Arlington but it's not a bad team, especially a home ..... but away ?

MartynSmith Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 10.42 is all that's left meaning Dryml (5.7) won't be returning if the other is one of Lahti (4.8), Gustafson (5.17), Nilsson (5.18) or Michelson (5.00 - a bargain). I would opt for the last two. They came in mid-season and did alright. Lahti and Gustafson were crap all season and don't deserve a second chance.

stevebrum Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 The Eagles would be crazy to let him slip through their fingers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynSmith Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 If MM had been 5.62 and not 5 we would have had to have gone with Lahti (4.8). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynSmith Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 10.42 left so it looks two from: Lahti 4.8 Gustafson 5.17 MM 5 (assessed average - really 5.62) Had it been 5.62 we would have had to have gone for Lahti. At least now Eastbourne have a choice. Dryml however is no longer an option as he and any one of these options would take Eastbourne over 10.42.

steven101 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 If we dnt sign michelsen there even more stupid than I thought not too displeased with the confirmed 5 riders not sure on halsey..if we dnt get michelsen I can see them signing Nilsson and gustafsson I would like two riders on assessed 5.00, michelsen and someone?

DexterBeauregarde Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Michelson all the way for,me. I wish he was british but tonhave up and coming talent is always good news. Winning teams always have riders who increase their average and i think he will this year. Its the same for bech at lakeside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
