Bagpuss Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 But who? Nicki has said no, Niels the same, Kildemand like Niels has said no. Bjarne is at Lakeside. Other than those who is left? Larsen? MJJ? Neither are number ones are they? Shouldn't have typed number one, meant 'final rider' really. We aren't going to sign somebody with a higher average than Batchelor as nobody of that ilk wants to come. I'd love it to be Kenni Larsen, either he or Madsen or possibly MJJ look to be the best of whats left. I certainly think Larsen could put a decent chunk on his starting average next year if he came over judging by some of his performances in Sweden last year.

Hope it's Larsen, be good to see him back in the EL. I feel sorry for you if it's MJJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I think Larsen should be considered a number 1, he's a much better rider than he was when he was last riding here. King's Lynn will have a decent side if they sign him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King's Lynn will have a decent side if they sign him. Depends on the other reserve but we would certainly have a decent top five. Larsen would be ideal but if it ends up being a fully committed MJJ (not in the GP's now) I'd not be disappointed as he is a class act at the end of the day. The big question of course is how committed he would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polish Extraliga averages in 2015 show that he had a better average than: Chris Holder Matej Zagar Peter Kildemand Neils-Kristian Iversen Jason Doyle I think that conclusively confirms your view.

Woz01 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Where has he ridden as a number one?Maybe Sweden? In Britain he'd be classed as one if he had rode here recently. Polish Extraliga averages in 2015 show that he had a better average than: Chris Holder Matej Zagar Peter Kildemand Neils-Kristian Iversen Jason Doyle I think that conclusively confirms your view. I just scan results from abroad and always seems to score well in Poland and Sweden. No surprise he is doing well but those names show how well he actually did last season. Just checked he was number one at the end of the season. Edited January 8, 2016 by woz01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Where has he ridden as a number one? Larsen would be a number one calibre rider. He's certainly better than any rider Wolves have got and one I had hoped we would make a move for this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly better than any rider Wolves have got and one I had hoped we would make a move for this season. It's debatable if he is 'better' and would be very interested to see if he excels in the EL format (like Janowski or Doyle) or struggles like the rest of the best. Hopefully he will be back in the EL and would be a welcome returnee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he will be back in the EL and would be a welcome returnee. There's no debate. Larsen was 10th in Swedish averages, racing as a heat leader. Kylmakorpi 21st and Lindgren 25th. Pretty sure both Kylmo and Lindgren had time at reserve as well which of course helps to boost your average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Larsen should have been Wolves priority target this off season. Interesting to see PK is willing to ride for Peterborough.. so much for him not being keen to race over here this season.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen should've been a priority for Coventry too, I get the feeling he isn't keen on a full British season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing averages abroad only gives a flavour of what we should expect. As already pointed out many of the top boys have struggled in the EL since the new race format was introduced. If he signs for a UK team we will see if he stands out or struggles like the majority of so called class riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he signs for a UK team we will see if he stands out or struggles like the majority of so called class riders. It isn't debateable. To have a debate, the other side of the argument has to put forward a coherent reason for why they believe their rider is better. You haven't come up with anything. We'll ignore Sweden then, where Larsen is much much better. Let's look at Poland.. ah there he is again! He averages almost as much (8.00) in the FIRST division as Lindgren (8.44) does in the SECOND division. Based on your flawed theory riders such as Emil, Vaculik, Nicki Pedersen, Hampel aren't better either as they haven't raced in the current Elite League formula.

Pinny Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 In all fairness to brum, i think what he means hes yet to prove himself as a good nimber one in the uk yet. But i still think he would be quality in the el in its current state. But we wont know until he ever returns i suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
