PolarBjerre Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 8 hours ago, Col said: B*yawn*e was never exciting. His gating was more than decent & he was fast enough to be an effective chicane against any rider. He was a reliable above average second heat leader at most in Britain ten years ago. I doubt he got that far up the Ekstraliga & Eliteserin ladder. He wouldn't put my bum on any seat. Poole look back, last time he rode over here he was feigning iinjury so you could use Tungate as a guest!! Bjarne Pedersen was a top number one for Poole for quite a few seasons during their dominance in the mid 2000’s. He is way past his best now, but was certainly a class act back in his day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately it comes back to the same question even if he was available. Would you sign him on what would be an 11.06 GSA. Now that we know the conv is 1.6 for sure. Even in the unlikely event he got a 2.5% discount for each of the 3 seasons he has not ridden I would still argue that even at approx 10.25 he is too high. Especially as well if the points limit in Champ turns out to be lower than Prem. Roll on end of next week when we may be a bit wiser on the new set up for both leagues. Then hopefully we will start getting some various team announcements and can press on with who we may/may not be signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarBjerre Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 You wouldn’t sign him on 11 no. But that wasn’t the point I was making... Col made him out to be a second heatleader, he was more than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish this was on the Newcastle thread. Arguably the greatest rider to have ridden for the diamonds in the last 30 years (alongside his name sake). i get the feeling you don’t speak for the Poole faithful, but welcome to the championship. i find it laughable that you ridicule bjarne, yet Klindt now feels your club is below him 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
