KK is up for it for sure because he wouldn't return otherwise and Picko will only improve so it's not all bad. Ht 13 & 15 will be a problem though but I'd suspect that you'll make a change if you get off to a slow start. God knows why he is returning, is the most random thing ever! But it is entertaining reading when some are trying to convince others that it is a good idea! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess KK is returning as he thinks it’s going to be an easy pay day can’t think why else he’d want to ride in the UK . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon1983 Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 KK is retiring at the end of 23 so much like Bjarne wants to have one final go in the UK so if he knows he is retiring he wiĺl likely score more as he will be relaxed having fun out on track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure anyone thinks it's a 'good idea'..... @PhilTheAce summed it up perfectly when he said its a gamble but one probably worth taking.

TTT Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) KK should hire me as his hype man for 2023 season seeing as I'm the only one trying to put a positive spin on his UK return. £10.50 an hour is the going rate in Britain these days isn't it? Couple of extra quid after a Protest / Strike Seriously though joking aside KK done a good job for Rye House when he was last over here. If it wasn't for Rye House going under with their results being erased then KK would be on a 8+ GSA and you're getting him on a 6.86 all because he didn't bother trying during his last Poole stint because nobody made him feel welcome at the club.

My memory not the best but didn't he fall out with Middlo? Also doesn't bother when it is raining either, literally waves other riders past btw.

Daniel Smith Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Are we really looking at this side? 1. Klindt 7.39 2.Jorgensen 6.35 3. Palm-Toft 6.86 4. Pickering 6.14 5. Kasprzak 7.22?? 6. Jakobsen 5.04 7. Rising Star Ave: 39.00 I'm not sure this can be right. I'm certain KK's average was close to 8.00 in the 2017 averages as his 2018 average was expunged due to Rye House collapse. If so, this team doesn't fit Edited November 19, 2022 by Daniel Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK did have a falling out with Middlo, but he had his UK 'manager and family' in the late Gordon Day (P.R.O. and historian) at Poole, so had plenty of 'friends', even though they were as exasperated with him as the fans were. If he was in any way dissatisfied with his racing he was renowned for 'tinkering' with his machinery often against his mechanics, other riders (and manager's) advice!!! Hence his inconsistency and being unwilling to listen! Edited November 20, 2022 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 From what I’ve seen of KK in the past he can be spectacularly brilliant on his day but on the flip side if his heads not at the races he pulls up in races and is spectacularly frustrating- not sure who has linked him with Lynn how this rumour or not rumour started - I’d say new owners are definitely happening at Lynn because I personally couldn’t see Buster going anywhere near him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had a proper No.1 then KK could do a decent job as a second string, on "second string" wages. It's rumoured to be his last year, and at 38 he is coming back to these shores after 5 years away for a last pay day. Add to that he will probably be on a fair size guarantee, i can't see where his motivation will come from. I hope he proves me wrong and has a great season .I'll support him of course, but i'm not sure he will last the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and the prob was (idk if it was in the same season or just later) but Brady struggling just as much as No1 but that was fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea of Lynn's rumoured side is to emulate P'boro's class of 2021 with six riders who could all be number one or ride at reserve, think that was the idea last season but for various reasons it didn't work out. If KK had been signed as say third heat leader in a top heavy side with weak reserves that's a different ball game but in a rock solid side I think he'll be fine. We shall see! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
