Who thought we'd be 1 point off the leaders after 12 races?
Me neither, so we're still right in it. 8 races to go and Dan, Tai & Rob are in 7 races out of 8.

No more Gate 2s which I think is a positive.

2 rides in the last 4 for Dan if possible?

Dudek surprised me there. Fair play

Has to be a Tac Sub?

2 Gate 2s coming up. Let's get what we can.

Gate 2 is a graveyard. Go on Rob. Top 3 looking very good.

Good try from Tom. Wasn't to be. Hard luck.

Thought TMs would bottle it if I'm honest.

Looking at Bet365 odds for Heat 1 looks like they know/expect Bewley?
-
I think the Poles are strong and this format suits them. A bit similar to GB in a round about way, I'd use Kolodziej. However, I see the Poles like this. Bartosz is great, Janowski is top notch at Wroclaw. Kubera and Dudek are gaters and Kolodziej is box office but not strictly a gater. I'd use Kolodziej when Dudek and Kubera are in gates 3 & 4.

I'm not having a pop at Adam and Tom, but just don't believe they're good enough at this level. I'm not saying they won't do their best and I'm not thinking any replacements will do any better. We have at this time 3 top riders and we need 5. Take heat 1 tonight, it's Adams best chance from Gate 1. There's a chance he could gate and go, stick to the white line and win. I don't think that'll happen, but I'd be disappointed if Dan didn't win if replacing him. Why throw away a gate 1 opportunity?
Would love to have egg on my face come tomorrow and be proved wrong.

We have 6 gates 1 or 2 in the first 8 races. This is usually when they are at their most advantageous before an outside line starts to work. Hope the TMs are man enough
to use Bewley. If we aren't in the lead after heat 8 with that advantage then the games up anyway.

8 minutes ago, RoundTheBoards said:You''re advocating giving away Brennan and Ellis's easiest rides to Bewley, and throwing away the other Brennan/Ellis rides ?
That seems totally backwards.
If we're going to win we need Bewley, Lambert and Woffinden winning off any gate and then giving the best opportunity to Brennan/Ellis to pick up points in the other.
You really want to give our best rider the best gates and easiest rides, and then throw our weakest riders to the wolves for no points?
Yep that's exactly what I'm saying. Hope Ellis and Brennan do well, but realisticly they're out of their depth. Don't waste the best gates on them. Sometimes you have to be harsh. It's not a time for sentiment.

1 minute ago, Hilly said:Can a reserve not replace another rider even if not 6 behind? If so, Bewley can take 6 rides regardless, surely making GB better off.
He can only have 5 rides if we don't go 6 behind.
