Gavan 5,049 Posted October 19, 2013 Obvious one for me would be Lewis Kerr. Though why anyone would want to step up full time is beyond me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guitar_art 247 Posted October 19, 2013 Thought most of the Premier League riders were riding in the EL anyway. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.N.T. 355 Posted October 20, 2013 Would be very disapointed if Ben Barker, Craig Cook or any rider with a 6+ EL average is not riding full time in the Elite League. As there should be more meetings in 2014 with 11 or 12 teams comepting twice home and twice away against ALL teams. I would possibly say any rider with a 5+ average should move up like Auty, Allen, Robson etc or just ride in the PL. Doubling up should be for younger British riders to encourage them to learn in the PL and try their hand at reserve in the Elite League at reserve. Lewis Kerr, Lewis Blackbird, Ashley Morris etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveEvans 248 Posted October 20, 2013 Obvious one for me would be Lewis Kerr. Though why anyone would want to step up full time is beyond me. It's called ambition and it leads to the Swedish and Polish leagues. It also leads to a good SWC team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ABS 231 Posted October 20, 2013 Having watched Craig Cook all year at BV, he's more than ready. Would love to see him as a fulll BV asset along with young Max Fricke. 3rd place in the ELRC just proves the point. Congrats to Rory on his wini the ELRC, even though he is a Stretfordian.

The Know 221 Posted October 20, 2013 Kyle Newman has improved year on year and with top equipment would be very good indeed . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lewis Kerr, Lewis Blackbird, Ashley Morris etc Ability wise, Barker & Cook should be full time EL riders, I think Barker has said the current setup makes it too difficult to make the EL pay unless you can get some good rides on the continent.

Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 20, 2013 Cameron Heeps could easily hold down an elite league reserve berth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EnglishRoundabout 1,752 Posted October 20, 2013 Alex Davies would be decent at reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigcatdiary 3,156 Posted October 20, 2013 It's called ambition and it leads to the Swedish and Polish leagues. It also leads to a good SWC team. I can only agree, some of our young riders just settle too easily for a PL career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
