Mike.Butler Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Assuming Sheffield are ultimately able to make the sums add up this is the best news of the winter (so far...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycho3a Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 What a Signing, Nicki is Box Office, Always the pantomime villian the one everyone hates unless he is your rider.. If he comes with the appetite to win races he will be awesome... Team looking a bit like this now ?? Unsure on averages but going by rumours Nicki -8.61 Kyle - 5.72 Josh G - 7.29 Proctor - 4.43 Brady Kurtz - 7.54 Dimi or Bellego - 4.14/4.40 Broc - 4.00 The option to go with Dimi and Bellego instead of Ty is there, I just hope Todd Kurtz is not an option as the above team wins home meetings easily and should be ok on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2 Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Bellego is 5.8, not 4.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could fill us in? Must of been pretty bad, for Wolves fans to not want a triple world champion to ride for them? Seems utterly bizarre to think some wouldn’t like Pedersen but would like the likes of Scheiln and Masters leading the way?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 With Nicki being World Champion in 03, 07 & 08 & that he last rode over here in 2011 then the stats say he is on the decline but are there more better riders now than before. Never the less, he is still a top rider having averaging 8.13 in the Polish Extraleague (Doyle averaged 9.12) so his 8.61 might be close to where he starts. Maybe they will use the ruling that he has been away for so long that we will have to assess him, probably to about 8.5, so it makes little difference.

89buttons Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Good to see Doyle endorsing Nicki coming back to uk on twitter and saying he hopes more top boys will follow! Went on to argue with polish fans saying it’s too difficult to schedule riding all leagues....his reply “well I won the world title riding all the leagues so can’t be that hard!!” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt it will be though it will work both ways as Nicki Pedersen will bring numbers through the gate to cover his wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That`s hardly an accolade to be proud of. 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulvik Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 One man's hard racer is another man's dirty rider and for this reason along it is certain Nicki will certainly put bums on seats at Sheffield. However I do have one question will fans have to pay extra to watch the weekly punch up between Nicki and another ride or will that spetical be covered by the normal admission fee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 When you see him week in, week out, he's hard not dirty. When he was at Eastie in his prime there were some astonishing races at close quarters with Jason Crump especially and with Leigh Adams, Peter Karlsson etc, the like of which I've never seen since. Never an inch given but what excitement. If he's anything like that now, enjoy it whilst you can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squall Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 2 hours ago, screm said: That`s hardly an accolade to be proud of. Basically, Lindgren became an icon for fencing someone twice, because that person is a dirty rider. Can't even begin to argue with that logic. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 What I like about this signing is that Sheffield haven't relied on cast off Poole riders, or waited to see which riders can't be fitted into other teams, but have gone their own way and done it themselves. A very positive sign for how they will fare in the top flight, in my opinion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
