But as we all Know in this Sport, 1 Phone Call,a Dodgy Visa or something else like Laguta not being brave enough to turn up every week, things can change very quickly. If this pans out I for one will be pretty pleased with that, can’t be compared to Doyle on these shores very few can but I think once he’s found the set up he’ll do well at ipswich, decent style for turning the bike and more technical tracks, never knows when he’s beat and doesn’t heavily rely on gating 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 Michelsen did ride for Eastbourne back in the day and he scored well for them around Arlington on a consistent basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re correct and let’s not forget he was only a teen back then. Much more seasoned and classy rider these days and still unbelievably only 29 years of age. Foxhall would hold no fears for him that’s for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joined Eastbourne during the 2013 on a 5 point assessed average. Finished the following season on 6.02. After Eastbourne dropped out of the elite league he had a spell with Leicester in 2015. I don't think he has ridden over here since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk127 Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 My money would be on Jarek or Patrik to step in to the breach. The Louis family have always had a good rapport with the Polish riders and even though one or two dubious decisions in the past have left the Witches wanting the good have outweighed the bad. Even Drabik would not be that bad but whoever they get, they will not emulate Doyle so it is a case of who will be the most solid middle order reliable rider to fill part of the gap.

Michelsen is 21st on 6.86. Even so a riders Extraliga average doesn't mean a lot when racing in GB. Janowski is 7.54, Pawlicki is 6.82 who have both struggled over here. While Doyle is down in 40th averaging 6.20, with Woffinden further back on 5.76. Edited June 9 by szkocjasid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn’t spotted that, why an earth would the default on the app be giving you an average for the past seasons rather than this season!? Strange that!

Strange that! It was a bit odd, but I was delighted to see Leigh Adams as the all time top averaged rider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siggysigalos Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 It would seem Michelsen deal is dead in the water. Hope I'm wrong, and source has heard it wrong, but that's the rumour this morning I'm afraid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 You have to be careful to not jump in and sign someone you’re not entirely convinced by, just for the sake of getting a full 1-7 on track now. With their position in the table, it’s not an urgent situation frankly. Yes they will probably now end up surrendering top spot, but a top 4 place looks fairly secure. There is guaranteed to be more options (potentially better) open up later in the season when the riders’ calendar gets a little less busy. They MAY be biding their time to make sure they get the best possible rider in to replace Doyle for the cup final and play offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
