    You''re advocating giving away Brennan and Ellis's easiest rides to Bewley, and throwing away the other Brennan/Ellis rides ?  :unsure:

    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.

    If we drop 6 behind we'll be very unlikely to win as Tac subs are less effective in this format and in a best case scenario, you'll still be 3 behind, but possibly still 5 and that's if the Tac sub wins..

    As the track has given a massive advantage so far to gates 1 and 2, I see the benefit of replacing Ellis and Brennan when they have these gates by the No5. It means he has 4 rides from gates 1 & 2.  Brennan & Ellis who are unlikely to score anyway will get gates 3 & 4 unless we are 6 behind and then Tac Sub them.

    This I think gives us a sniff. :t:

    For the umpteenth time- tac subs when a team is 6 points behind the leading  teams - 1 ride only per rider. Only up to heat 16. No 5 can replace another team member at any time and can have 5 rides plus a Tac Sub ride.( Same. Max as other riders)

    Was thinking about this and to me if you're going to allow Tac subs in a meeting like this, then would have thought to be behind by 4 would be enough.  6 in normal league matches enables you to get within 2 points with a 5-1, but a 3 point win here and the leaders run 2nd and you make up a point?????  Think the rule needs looking at if they want it to enable a closer match?

    Just my thoughts.

    Brennan IS good enough, he DOES have experience at this level, and he just showed he can compete.

    I wouldn't be against Brennan, but as mentioned it's a thankless task.  I do think Wroclaw is as close as you can get to Belle Vue, but the 4 teams will be very hot competition. Likely to be Aussies and Danes.  Get one of the top 3 at reserve and hopefully choose their races wisely looking at gates etc.

    You never know??????? :D
