iris123 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 None of your nonsense with teams that pick themselves or can't seem to even make up a team without guests,there are more than enough candidates here. First 4 pick themselves,but then comes the trouble(for me) 1.Ole Olsen 2.Erik Gundersen 3.Hans Nielsen 4.Nicki Pedersen Then i would say Tommy Knudsen,Morian Hansen,Arne Pander,Brian Karger,Hans Andersen,Niels Kristian Iversen,Finn Thomsen,Preben Rosenkilde all could be considered.And i have probably left a couple out because i am just doing it from memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbold Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Jan O is the fifth automatic choice. My other two would be Tommy Knudsen and Arne Pander but by this time next year I have a feeling we could be adding NKI as an automatic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Agree with that norbold, in fact even now would be tempted to include nki. And possibly hans andersen at 8 ahead of arne. bo petersen and gert handberg would rate ahead of some on iris's shortlist imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norbold, I would pick exactly the same seven riders, and I also agree about NKI coming through to grab a spot in the next year or two. He's got the perfect attitude, calm but determined, and he could be the next Danish World Champ. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I thought about Hans Andersen, but somehow he never seems to have lived up to his potential. A few years ago he looked like a World Champion in the making but it never quite happened. Good call with Bo Petersen certainly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucifer sam Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Although he wouldn’t be in my first choice seven, a rider worth mentioning is Brian Andersen. He could well have been World Champion at his very first attempt in 1997 – after winning the British Grand Prix at Bradford, he was just 7 points behind leader Greg Hancock with just two rounds to go. However, a broken collarbone and a disastrous choice to plate it and ride with it, left him riding with a handicap for the rest of his career. Even so, I remember him outwitting Tony Rickardsson over four laps at Oxford one night. He could still turn it on, if only sporadically. A very, very classy rider. All the best Rob First choice seven: Hans Nielsen Erik Gundersen Ole Olsen Nicki Pedersen Jan O Pedersen Tommy Knudsen Arne Pander Squad members: Niels-Kristian Iversen Brian Andersen Hans Andersen Bo Petersen Finn Thomsen Morian Hansen John Jorgensen All the best Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Pretty good shout Rob.Totally embarrassed to forget Jan O,but I was listing the riders off the top of my head rather than going through any records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
