I was a huge Crump ( jnr fan i should be ashamed Leigh!!!) and Gollob so resented Nicki winning three titles.Now I appreciate just how much he achieved ok not always in the right way but were Fundin, Briggs,Ivan, Ole a bit naughty over the years do you sometimes need that little bit extra to be a winner.? Can't wait to see Nicki ride again spice our league up your point about Greg spot on a really nice guy.

Fromafar Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 The standard of the Premiership is nothing for Nicki to be concerned about, not many no1’s with 8pt averages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see Nicki ride again spice our league up your point about Greg spot on a really nice guy. Fundin was before my time but Briggs and Olsen were both fairly robust on first corners, Mauger was only very rarely beaten to the first corner being such a good trapper and was also very quick to pass when the opportunity arose which generally with constant pressure it invariably did. Jason Crump was another who didn’t shy away from hard first corners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndbendbeerhut Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 Squad says largely the same year on year.. so when a new signing is announced its when contract has signed during a summer or winter transfer window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spl77 Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 Still this drip feeding beats the old signing some one on press day because they look OK riding on their own. Franz Leiter and Caspar forjac spring to mind lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazysue Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 13 hours ago, Sidney the robin said: I spoke to him once at Swindon and he autographed both my lads books and was a really nice bloke.He was rushing off to another meeting as well but the funny thing was i know they had there little skirmish but Greg Hancock was exactly the same a really nice guy time to speak and had real time for the supporters. I also agree, Nicki was great with my three (well two as youngest wasn't the most sociable) and was showing them around his bikes, explaining everything to them. It was an absolute godsend as we had been queuing for hours for the world team cup and the boys were getting a tad antsy. I've got another two riders to add to the list - Scott Nicholls was brilliant with my eldest although seeing him now would probably make Scott feel very old indeed (eldest was around 10 or 11 at the time, he's 26 now!) when eldest was out trick or treating and again whilst at the track. The final rider is Hans Andersen, one of the few people that youngest felt comfortable with. I'm not sure if Hans was aware of youngest's autism and his difficulties in social situations but he always took the time to come down to his level (and youngest was and still is, very very small) and talk to him, even though youngest would be away from the crowd and visibly struggling. One particular occasion was after the Ryan Sullivan meeting, youngest had just got into photography but was struggling a little with the noise in the after party/social, Hans picked him up (I held my breath when he did that as youngest hated to be 'handled' let alone picked up but he was all smiles...a very rare thing indeed at the time) and helped him to take a few photos which not only calmed him down but also gave me some welcome relief from the building stress! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
