Agrotron Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 KK would always be welcome back at Poole and I think Coventry should looking at him as well, I don't think Hans is your answer he didn't look committed at all especially that flying back from the US for the PO's that to me was laughable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCOGNITO Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Kasprzak has moved on so far in 2014 that he has along with Hancock, Pedersen and others realised that a less hectic race schedule and more stable fixture list is the way forward if you are to compete at the top level. While these riders may miss out on a certain amount of wages from not riding in Britain, they are more relaxed, focused and geared up to ride in the other competitions that it makes up for this and in scoring a few points more in each can earn just as much as a nights racing in Britain, so they are no better or worse off. Some like Fredrik Lindgren, Chris Holder and Chris Harris would rather ride more and have the hectic schedule but it doesn't usually help and in Holders case it's more a case of being race rusty and wanting to get in more race time. Coventry did well after a poor start to the 2014 season and in the end proved to be one of the best around and that in part was down to the sudden improvement in Chris Harris and the development of Kyle Howarth but above all it was a very strong reserve partnership in Garrity and Sarjeant that made them play off finalists. Howarth may be off to pastures new but they have done well (or rather fortunate) to get both fast track riders back for 2015 but things won't be the same next season as pretty much all eight starting teams have impressive reserves and even Poole with the outstanding Kyle Newman have improved now they have Paul Starke who was in my opinion was the best rider available in the second pick. If Coventry are to keep progressing they will either have to have more strength at the top or have a more solid backbone in the middle and its the middle order they have improved and this looks the best option as there is very little around that will improve the top end and some teams would gladly swap places in having Bomber and Hans.

stevebrum Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Would KK want to ride in Britain though? His last spell for the Bees was awful and he was clearly not committed. His first spell here was excellent though. Unless he is in a Poole jacket he has hardly been bothered for quite a while now. Some like Fredrik Lindgren, Chris Holder and Chris Harris would rather ride more and have the hectic schedule but it doesn't usually help It didn't stop Woffy becoming world champ in 2013. So that is very debatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As perhaps a backup plan if Emil falls through the net that is what I meant. I never said Horyon was in talks with Emil I said they are as in Coventry Speedway.

naffer Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 A definite no to KK ,good in the GP but feckless in British Speedway. I am sure he will not ride the UK in 2015. Anyway back to bomber captain courageous is back, excellent and most welcome news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said Horyon was in talks with Emil I said they are as in Coventry Speedway. I would have thought that if anyone was talking with Emil that it would be Swindon - with the Rosco, Pratt, Ashtec connection! But I can't see him fitting the EL in his schedule.

More likely in talks with summers, Allen and Robbo! 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Just read that King registration is with the bspa after Brummies demise last season. I wonder if we will sign him as an asset and get priority over PL? If he is actually signing of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbo Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Where does this Emil suggestion come from that we are in discussions with him, I only threw his name into the hat as a doubtful suggestion, it seems there are posters on here who now suggest we are in serious discussions with the rider. Let me say I would love to see him at Cov, I know when we visited Brummies with him in the side at Perry Barr it increased the gate by 700. Would love to see him back at Cov. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With coventry suggestion on not wanting double up riders I questioned why u would go for king. But if he is a owner of bspa I bet you have signed him as an asset and probably pretty cheap to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCOGNITO Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Emil has been approached by two clubs and neither were Coventry Yes Woffinden won the title riding here but it has to be remembered he wasn't riding in Sweden and missed a number of matches through his broken collar bone. Could Coventry be starting with two riders from the Eastbourne team of 2014 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could Coventry be starting with two riders from the Eastbourne team of 2014 ? Eastbourne were shocking away from home so hopefully not. If we get King & a number 1 then there wouldn't be room for most of Eastbournes riders from last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Emil has been approached by two clubs and neither were Coventry Yes Woffinden won the title riding here but it has to be remembered he wasn't riding in Sweden and missed a number of matches through his broken collar bone. Could Coventry be starting with two riders from the Eastbourne team of 2014 ? Are they signing Bob Dugard to sort the track out??!! I wouldn't have thought its any big secret that Swindon and Poole have been in talks with Emil. (Emil was going to line up for Matt Ford in the original staging of the World Speedway League; and Rosco/Pratty have already worked with him at Brandon.)

He wouldn't be signing as a number one for any team tho would he, or have I missed something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
