mdmc82 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I like that side. You could swap kerr for bates sarj or Jacobs, though I think he is the best of those options. Feel a bit like a vulture though picking up Bees riders - good to be able to employ a brit, but still feel awful for bees fans. I would rather see King go to a team I like for 2017 like Belle Vue than one I don't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Amongst all the doom and gloom, maybe some good can come out of all the pre season problems.. Namely that, for once, supply of riders will exceed demand meaning pressure on riders to perform or they will be replaced. Pressure also on them to turn up rather than prioritise elsewhere and (whisper it) could we even see 'guests' that don't belong to teams in the same league?.. Don't get me wrong, its still not right, but maybe a move forward..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy The Rebel Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 If belle vue sign bjerre for me they would have to go down as favourites. Would have the best top 5 and one of the best reserves in Bewley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 It's a no brainer surely? Bjerre all day long in this watered down product he should average 8.50 easily!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wozza Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I really like Wozniak and he is one of them who rides for the clubs fans in everyone of his races. He would be very entertaining. Bjerre though is UK based and has the experience to pass onto the young ones. On a track like belle vue he would be brilliant on his average as a 2nd string aswell may I had. (Well for the 1st month or so anyway) So for me if the 6 riders are already signed bjerre is a must. Them that do t rate bjerre who would u rather have MPT Thomas jorgensen Berge Schlein Wozniak ???????????????? Berge , better signing someone on his way up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notenoughnerve Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I liked Wosniak around Bells Vue last season. Bjerre is on a downward curve now. But either would be decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjerre/Cook/Fricke would be as good a top 3 as any in the league (Cook probably 1.5 off the top number ones, but Bjerre as good as any other 2nd string, and Fricke would be the best 3rd HL in the comp). Sedgeman/S Worrall would be the strongest 2nd string pairing by some distance, and Bewley/Smith would be an exciting reserve combo, if possibly light on points on the road? That would be a play off line up for sure, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Fricke would be the best 3rd HL in the comp). Personally wouldn't even put him 2nd. Certainly behind Masters in the top flight, and better than Harris? However he has certainly stepped ahead in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proud panther Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Bjerre is a confidence rider, & could be a steal 0n his average if he starts the season strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRKYLANE Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Bjerre is the last person I would want. We ran with him during his injuries and he disappeared the next season on a low average ... also he is a rider rather than a racer. I want Belle Vue full of racers !!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only because BV were going to build a team around Joe Screen, who didn't get on with Bjerre. We all know how that played out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he has certainly stepped ahead in Europe. Id say in reality Masters is wolves 2nd hl, I would rate fricke ahead of Thorssel.At rye I would consider nicholls/Kennet to be the 3rd hl, and think fricke will out perform both. I think when looking at averages you need to account for what position riders rode last year, and those with high pl based averages when saying who is a number 1 or a 3rd hl. Is Bjerre a top heat leader or as good as any other 2nd string.??? 2nd hl, my error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred5 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Great news to hear that the Aces are back on track. Look forward to making some visits to the stadium this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fricke certainly has potential and if he realises it this year then the Aces are in for another good year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Head Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 With Lemo involved I would say Fricke is a nailed on certainty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Before going for Danny King it would be wise to check the fixture list first and see how many meetings he would miss. Ipswich have priority over him this season so that could be a factor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Only Ipswich fixtures on a Friday (Aces race night) are Edinburgh away. Thing is, King would be vital to the Aces promotion push away from home with his experience. The fixtures on a Thursday (Swindon x2) & Saturday (Leicester & Rye House x2) could be crucial.

Gunner85 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Peter Craven MT has been added to the fixtures... Sunday 26 March 2017 @ 3 pm Further details to follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
