RebelDan Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I have been following speedway for 35 years and Kurtz is the best prospect I have seen for his age since Per Jonnsson. A very mature rider who rides with his head and way beyond the age of a 17 year kid. He will be a top, top rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunRobin Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 And you'd do better would you? Matt spends the money, Neil also gets a say on the riders, and Neil works with the riders. Thats why its the best combination in the League.. That said, every rider knows what is expected of them when they come to us. Yeh, if they get in qiuck enough.. As i keep saying While other promoters are kipping, Matt is working. Sorry Starman, you've used the wrong word, surely you mean drinks with his riders. Ask Darcy, it gets you into bad habits!

He will be a top, top rider High praise Racer, i see alot of Per when he first came over after the hassle with the permit had a decent partnership with Malc Holloway.A hell of a riding style and i think he would of won more World titles you are right have only seen Kurtz once but he will be top class.

heathen chemistry Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 think the EL should have a total ban on polish riders as they always seem to let there teams down .... maybe then they might get the message and those that really do want to commit to EL.... will .. probably wont happen thou due to EU regulations , but maybe a quiet agreement among promoters would work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Instead KK rode and was just rubbish on small tracks.............................................. Was KK rubbish on small tracks? Theres probably not a track that KK couldn't beat the home number 1 on yet in another meeting lose to their reserves. He's just a confidence rider.

Yep, Cardiff could be termed a 'small track', but when the mood takes him he can beat anyone there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres probably not a track that KK couldn't beat the home number 1 on yet in another meeting lose to their reserves. He's just a confidence rider. He certainly had trouble at Monmore for a long time. Also on one occasion when the track was wet, he just didn't want to know and let his team down badly.

Also on one occasion when the track was wet, he just didn't want to know and let his team down badly. So he can't ride Monmore = can't ride small tracks? He's ridden for BV and Lakeside in this country, he has scored maximums at Eastbourne as an away rider. It's nothing to do with track size with KK.

Moot point anyway, no need to dig for scores. He is currently riding very well in the GP's but I can't get my head round the thought of him as world champion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also on one occasion when the track was wet, he just didn't want to know and let his team down badly. To be fair, he could tootle around at the back before giving up on lap 3, and wipe the floor with Lindgren at his best in the same meeting. Granted, there was more of the former. All about attitude with KK I think. Not a rider I would want in my team and completely agree.. would not be a rider I'd want as World Champion for the sport!

SCB Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 woffy is committed, the amount of times he's rode for wolves with injury , poles cry off with a sore toe What about the times he has raced in a GP but not a league meeting either side? Or the time he rode in Poland rather than for Wolves at Eastbourne? If KK with his poor scores in the UK is uncommitted then so if Woffy with his poor scores in the UK while riding well in Poland, Sweden and the GPs!

EnglishRoundabout Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 KK is a class act when at his best. He beats the best at almost every track, no matter what the shape or size. He has an immaculate style and looks silky smooth. However, he is unreliable, inconsistent and untrustworthy. KK has let every EL club down that he has ridden for (although Aces fans seem to remember him more fondly than his more recent clubs) I do recall Chris Morton being very critical of him in his final few meetings for Bellevue however. His loyalty in the EL is atrocious and he is a major risk as a signing for any club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
