Terry Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I think it's great that Crump is back. Ok, he and Nicki may not be the riders they were but these guys have an aura about them which no other rider here - with the possible exception of Doyle - has. Their signings will surely improve crowd levels at Ipswich and Sheffield, and hopefully at away tracks when they visit..I'll certainly be paying a visit to both tracks this year for the first time in yonks. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Will be looking forward to the return of Jason vs The Robins & hope he does well as the league needs it. It will be very interesting to see how he does & with Chris Holder not getting a visa there options were very limited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon1983 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Maybe Holder will join him mid season once Visas are sorted? Someone said crumps son is over as he excels in his sport, is this speedway or another sport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Holder will get them issues sorted, and i think it's junior superbikes that Crump jnr is involved in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 No disrespect to Jason,but with 8pts+ to play with it shows how dire the sport has become in GB top level when they cant get some decent European or Scandinavian talent to race in UK.It will certainly be interesting to see how he fares. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboycookfan Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Are we allowed to boo Nikki straight away for all his dirty riding in the past, or do we have to wait for some more? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 I hope it works well for both Crump & Ipswich but after a couple of months I feel Jason will remember why he retired in the first place 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite not being a GP rider Nicki had the 12th highest average in the Polish top flight last year. He is still one of the best riders in the world. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Pedersens gating was always his biggest asset and since that's declined a bit his only way past other riders is to take them out. Hence the reason he gets a lot of gyp from fans ! He may put a few bums on seats but his dirty riding style (polite version) is what generally makes him disliked by everyone whose team he doesn't ride for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedersen has always used hard riding to get past riders ever since he made his UK debut in 98. Very good gater but also a terrific racer , whether that’s using force or not. Have seen him make some absolutely breath taking passes during his time. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, last time he rode for us in 2012 he took off three of his own team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Really pleased to see one of my all time favourite riders back. Don't think he will get anywhere near his starting average, so happy that he has signed for the Witches. Would be happy for him to prove me wrong.

I can see Sheffield signing Dag Lovaas and running a full season with rider-replacement at number 2 for him. Shares the load ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
