Feel a bit for Vissing,good season and fans favourite but averages probably the only reason he was ruled out. And there is one of the problems , not one other sport puts restrictions in its model that if you have a good season it makes you less attractive the following season. Mental. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be much better prepared physically and equipment wise at the start of this season compared to last. Two big spills in 2018 saw him very rusty and not 100% right at the start of last season add in riding at number 1 in a struggling team set him back. But look what he was starting to do for Redcar and then did for Newcastle, where he put in consistently good scores around a track that didn’t really suit his style. Age is just a number where Ulle is concerned he’s a very fit lad, who takes diet very seriously and a whole season without any major knocks in 2019 sees him really great shape and relishing the opportunity to ride for Glasgow. All I’ll say to any doubters is give him the chance and I think you’ll be happy to be proved wrong. cheers Paul. I agree. I think Ostergaard is a very good signing and I'd be very surprised if he doesn't increase his average by a good bit. Disappointed he's not back at Newcastle but money talks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ully isn’t the rider he was in his prime obviously but I will be very surprised if he doesn’t increase his starting average a fair bit... and some other members of this team will do likewise in my opinion. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelShoe Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Looking like a good blend of youth and experience. Good mix of riders equally at home on big or small tracks. Strong No1, potentially two strong reserves who should increase their averages, same can be said for Broc, Ully and Ricky who has a knack of dropping his average in his final year at a club . Could be the team to beat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or it’s a rubbish team with two older riders on their way down and an unconvincing Sam Jensen. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam is a very talented young rider and having had the tail end of last season will help. who knows how it will pan out though , you may well be right but there is improvement in all that team in my opinion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen Sam Jensen race? He is an out and out racer, never gives up , he has only seen a few tracks over here and susses them out quickly, he will be a very strong reserve 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be keeping an eye on Swindon and Kings Lynn next season again, hopefully Rasser will keep on improving, he is a joy to watch alongside Cookie, our heats 13 and 15 were awesome to watch last season, Can't see Cookie and Ricky doing the same, but you never know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets back to his best then you are sorted but if he doesn't cook is missing some serious backup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from natural ability Rasser has what all potential top riders need, a big desire to win races ! . I expect to see him develop further this season. I'm sure Rosco will be keeping an eye on young Sam if for no other reason than he is called Jensen !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
