Ned Kelly 41 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Another Riss maybe Surely not, he's just not there yet. But if there is to be another German, does Kai Huckenbeck qualify for a 5 or 7 average? He was very impressive indeed at Darcy's benefit meeting at Gillman.

Arson fire Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 I think it will take more than success in State, or even National titles for Tyson to be allowed a visa. i agree, but strange to see him in the mix with those that we know need visas.... Maybe coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekker Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 kai huckenbeck and mitch davey. Would be surprised by Huckenback despite his connections to Agent Woelbert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainAudi Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Would be surprised by Huckenback despite his connections to Agent Woelbert. When Kai was rumoured last year before Erik signed, it was mentioned that he would be a 7.00 average due to having ridden a few meetings in Poland, not sure how true that is though?

Ben91 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 He was. Damn annoying when you've got a rider pretty much signed and sealed then someone comes along with a better offer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainAudi Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) I don't know this guy's position regarding a reduction?? Lewis Blackbird - listed as 6.16 which would, of course, be too much but reduction?? He shouldn't need a reduction. Monarchs have 6.12 left at the moment, but Max Clegg should be due a 2.5% (I think it's 2.5 anyway) reduction on his average for the first 3 years out the NL, which I think will put him from 3.48 to below 3.44, enough to fit LB in should he decide to ride again and come to edinburgh.

Fromafar Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Willie Lawson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanAndersen Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Willie Lawson? Called it earlier in the thread. I think it's a possibility. Surely get him in on a 3.0?...... ;-P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Willie Lawson, even if he was by now a 3.00 (probably isn't quite that low) couldn't be the No 7, as he has enjoyed PL and EL averages well above the cut-off point for NL eligibility -- which I believe is the criteria for the bottom-end 3-pointer. While a revitalised, returned-to-full-form Willie could certainly take over the other team spot and blow opponents out of the water, it would be a huge ask after being off the track for so long. The only rider I can think of who came back after a long time out and resumed top form was Lee Complin (who was much younger when he came back) all the others who have tried after five-year-plus gaps failed pretty miserably. Willie will be 29 when the new season starts. A sad loss to Scottish speedway, he was British U-18 Champion, a three-time British Finalist and a World U-21 Finalist (alongside Woffinden, Holder, Sayfutdinov, Batchelor, Zengota and Vaculik -- he was that good) before he gave it away and retired at the age of 23. When will we see his like again....... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenga Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 i seen Willie going around workington during an interval ( i think it was an interval ) his time on the solo laps were something special. a lost Scottish talent . glad i got a glimpse of his younger laps. .a real talent lost to our sport .fingers are only pointing in ONE DIRECTION (not bad singers ) for his retirement from the sport . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baba Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Willie lawson would be a risk but one worth taking...can't forget how to ride a bike the way he did. I was ecstatic when he signed for us in 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
