mdmc82 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Wouldn't want him at Coventry, better riders out there. Think he said he wasn't riding in uk next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would anyone take him in there team for 2015 ? He has quit Britain in 2015 to spend more time with his family and because he couldn't make British Racing pay anymore. Without the financial backing from his (mainly Poole) sponsors, he would have lost money in the past few seasons!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjolnir Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) He has quit Britain in 2015 to spend more time with his family and because he couldn't make British Racing pay anymore. Without the financial backing from his (mainly Poole) sponsors, he would have lost money in the past few seasons!! He has been a regular in British speedway so it'll be a shame to see him missing next season, but if he isn't making enough money then spending more time with his family definitely sounds like the better option!

Pirate Nick Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 One of the most professional riders ever to grace these shores. I wish him well and hope to see him one more time at Poole for a farewell meeting when he finally hangs up his kevlars. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agrotron Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) bjarne is a top bloke and ever the professional, I will never forget what he did for the Pirates I would rank Bjarne as probably my most favourite rider to ever have worn the skull and crossbones his commitment to the Pirates was second to none and always had time for a chat. And of course I wish him all the best in the future hope to see him ride Poole one more time for a farewell.

SCB Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 For a rider who had a reputation for being a boring sod I always thought he was quite ruthless and quite exciting. He had too many good races with Scott Nicholls in '07-08 season for me to start trying to describe them but there were many passes by each of them. Ok he wasn't ever a hang of the bike thrill merchant but he certainly wasn't the boring rider he was made out to be. I'd have happily had him at Brandon as a Bee at some point in his career if we gloss over the possible, alleged taking it easier vs Poole - especially as I can imagine, sub-consciously, if you have strong feelings for a club it must make it difficult to put in so much effort against them for some. Them few years he had where he really stepped it up showed he was a class act too, I always wonder what went wrong for him in late 08 and then through '09 as he seemed to lose it and never quite got "it" back again. How many riders would kill to lose "it" though and still be a consistent 7-8 point EL man for 5 years! As for ruthless, again, Scott Nicholls, at Brandon, 3 years ago on Sky. Ouch! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56iG_zpG988 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TesarRacing Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) I have never believed for one second that Bjarne has ever 'slackened' off when riding against Poole - it's just something we all like to think may happen in order to have a go at the Pirates! In fact I don't think its in the nature of any speedway rider to not try to win every race.

Trees Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 He had a real good go at the ELRC at Lynn, I knew it was his swansong here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
