g13webb Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 You slate riders without knowing what's going on behind the scenes....... you obviously haven't seen what he has done abroad in the last week with new engines. 3rd in the first round of the European championships , 21 points in two matches for Bydgoszcz. The German federation in their wisdom decided at 10.30am Wednesday to email Kai that he was banned effective immediately for not being able to get his equipment to Latvia for the European pairs. There were two other riders that qualified Germany for the final but then said they couldn't ride because they were doing long track. Kai was then told to do it with one weeks notice to organise his gear to get there. It is a 20 hour drive and with no one available he informed them it was impossible. The guys doing long track have not been banned by the way. The whole day was spent trying to sort this mess out with the ban being on off several times until 4.30 pm when it was the final decision. Kai was at the meeting at Poole ready to ride!! I am no doubt of Huckenbeck ability and am aware of his form abroad, but please don't imagine that is the same rider we have had to endure these past months. His form in Elite is nothing more than scandalous. After an impressive first month this season he has done nothing to warrant any selection. We went weeks without scoring a point. Its because of his form abroad and his obvious ability, it really annoys the fans, the way he performs here. If he not prepared to perform than its better he stays away.....

Knightime Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 The Poole riders made it as entertaining as possible - but it was a foregone conclusion from the outset which is not good in any sport. I admire the Poole management trying to boost interest in the Leicester home match - £10 entry 1 child free - music - noise makers etc. But what about season ticket holders who put money up front and get no benefit from the reductions - one free play off meeting maybe?? It would be a nice gesture for loyalty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most riders would have pulled out but he didn't want to let them downThought he was injured, one race he was 1/4 lap behind everyone else! Wonder if he tried to pull out but KL couldn't get anyone?

Are Harris, Tatum and Pearsen making excuses as well then as they have all confirmed it live on tv last night & this morning. (Sigh) Good to see your concern for a injured rider though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
