steve roberts Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Dalle showed massive potential when he rode for 'The Cheetahs' in 1995 and had a style reminiscent of Per Jonsson. Made the mistake joining the Cradley/Stoke promotion (who owned his contract apparently) in my opinion in 1996 and was never the same rider. He turned out at Edinburgh some years later in the Premier League but the star that had shone bright when at Cowley had dimmed and he eventually disappeared from the British scene. If I recall he did suffer with a back injury that slowed his progress but I'm convinced that if he had remained at Cowley he would have potentially become a very big star. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Spoke briefly with him at Cardiff this year, having a meal with @Zetters Looked a great prospect when he first came over, fantastic style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK246 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) He was the team manager at Kumla until two years ago. He is now busy with his son, who looks a good prospect on the junior speedway scene in Sweden. He still has problems with his back/ neck, which was the reason he quit riding.

He was second in the World Under 21 final in 1995, falling in the run off with Jason Crump. So he had the talent and potential, sadly it never happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I remember well how he used to be able to manouvre his bike at incredible angles to achieve the desired drive! Shame that his massive potential wasn't realised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmauger Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 I remember him, came to Hull with Oxford in 1995 and maybe also in 1996 with the Cradley/Stoke venture, a tall-ish rider with a fairly upright style, bit like Per Jonsson as mentioned. Seem to recall he was highly rated but had some kind of accident and was never the same afterwards. Bit of a sense of humour too, unless I'm mistaking him for someone else.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish McRaker Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Vulnerability to shoulder and neck injuries is sadly the undoing of many of the more tall and slender riders whether earlier or later on in their riding careers. Being more box-shaped seems to be more advantageous, in the long run. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
