iris123 Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 See the big news today that Hans Andersen and Leon Madsen have been dropped from the Danish senior squad and Nicki Pedersen has voluntarily stepped down to allow the youngsters a chance.Not surprised with Hans and although I am a bit surprised with Madsen,i have mentioned a number of times that he doesn't seem to be liked and always seems to have had a cloud hanging over him since his apparent attempt to cheat some years back under the Stekkers regime Another surprise seems to be the omission of Patrick Hansen,who one or two on here hailed as one for the future,from the junior squad!!! Surely a mistake or oversight?Or is he now too old? Also wonder how on earth Martin S.Hansen still manages to stay in a talent squad.He must be too old and been around too long for the Danes to bother sticking with him The main thing though is,will this help bring them back to the top? Not in the next year or two at the very least imo Danish junior squad 2018:Frederik Jakobsen, Tim Sørensen, Kasper Andersen, Mads Hansen, Jason Jørgensen. Talent squad 2018:Jonas Jensen, Christian Thaysen And Ulrich Stærk, Jonas Seifert, Mikkel B. Andersen, Sam Jensen, Matias Nielsen, Martin S. Hansen, Emil Pørtner, Sebastian Mortensen, Morten Piepenbrinch, Jannik B. Sørensen, Kenneth Jürgensen, Marius Nielsen, Jacob Højmark, Nick Agertoft, Emil Breum, Benjamin Basso, Frederik Kristiansen, Magnus Kiel Jensen. Danish senior squad 2018:Niels Kristian Iversen, Kenneth Bjerre, Peter Kildemand, Michael Jepsen Jensen, Mikkel Bech, Mikkel Michelsen, Anders Thomsen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 How come Lasse Bjerre isn't listed or is he in the blackhole between talent and senior ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted November 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Obviously right.Think the idea from the 3(Hans,Erik and Henrik Möller) was to trim down the squad,rather than include too many.Lasse I can't ever see coming into contention for a senior team spot just like there isn't much point including Klindt,Rasmus Jensen or others of that ilk.Clear the mediocre riders out of the way and hope that one or two of those juniors do make it through,and double quick really before they lose Iversen and Bjerre to those over the hill.Bjerre probably Is anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted December 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 I seem to recall things like pre-season fitness weekend and training days,plus some test meetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bavarian Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Is it true that the Danish squad will go on a one week holiday to Gran Canaria? I read this but its hard to believe! Nice trip for the guys, if it is true and all payed for by the DMU ! It is sad to say this but ever since Hans Nielsen has become Danish Team Manager, performances and results have taken a downward dip. Last year Denmark had their worst ever result in the SWC. Riders refusing to ride in the Denmark Team or being left out of the squad can't be right. Edited December 9, 2017 by Bavarian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could just go over and do some rides when there are training days.Rye House,seem to hold them regularly,even last weekend if I remember correctly.Or Scunny or even Iwade .There are others of course.Just have to look at the clubs websites or even here in the amateur section etc Have to take a chance with the weather of course.Could make the trip for nothing Edited December 20, 2017 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see Nick has signed for Grindsted and will ride number 2 for this season He's still desperate to try uk tracks, Gary Havelock was going to give him some track time at Berwick but he's now gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June01 Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 The worst thing to have happened to team DK was the dissolution of Anders Secher and the subsequent appointment of Hans Nielsen. Great rider he may have been...great manager definitely not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did fine and was sacked with sour grapes. Maybe someone knows better, or doesnt have a clue. No clue is my bet ATM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
