stewmac Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 What was the issue regarding silencers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 He was accused of having a dodgy silencer by fellow riders.Said it sounded strange in the pits when warming up Since then he had trouble.Not picked by Denmark for SWC etc.And as I mentioned it must have been more than just a personal clash with Stekkers as the situation remained pretty much the same when Secher had the job and now also with Hans 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewmac Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Strange that if they were concerned that the silencer wasn't legal, they didn't have it examined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t remember the full story,but that is the way it often seems to go in speedway.Someone is slyly accused of something without anything official being done.I think Stekkers also talked about ‘polish speed’ in one SWC and I think said he knew what goes on as he rode in Poland and of course I think Olsen was also backing him up.But no official complaint was put in.We also had Holder and Ward making snide remarks about Smolis bikes on the GPs It was also strange to me how the story came out on one or two Danish sites and I never saw any conclusion.It just seemed to disappear,but the aftermath was Madden seemed to be an outcast,so you had to conclude there was more to it than came out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the same incident that I recall, they did check it and he was fined for having an illegal silencer. It happened back in 2011. I think it was at the Danish qualifier to get into the GP qualifying rounds. However, it was checked before the meeting started and although he was fined he was still allowed to race in the meeting, after changing silencer, and qualified. As you may recall, others caught with illegal silencers that year suffered suspensions, so Leon got off very lightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Was it only 2011!!Had the feeling it was a good few years before that,but thought it was a Danish meeting and that Hougaard was one of those involved in complaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewmac Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) Thanks. Long time ago now though. Goodness, Dudek was convicted much more recently for drugs and seems to have been forgiven well and truly....
