Alan_Jones 1,005 Posted May 6, 2016 But NL teams can't have assets In the wording of the much revered regulations they can "own" riders (their quotes). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greyhoundp 990 Posted May 6, 2016 If the parent club is the NL one then an agreement can be made about clashing fixtures. But NL teams can't have assets Depends if its in the interests of British Speedway, just ask Craig Cook lols Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted May 7, 2016 He's an asset of Belle Vue, they're allowed to own riders because they're an EL side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadders 4,118 Posted May 9, 2016 First time I've seen him race last night at Rye for Belle Vue. First impressions are he looks very tidy on the bike. Looks about 12 though 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,314 Posted May 9, 2016 Not seen him ride, but reading about him he sounds a very useful prospect. The last rider I saw dominating races at this level the way he seems to be was Darcy Ward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete cc 322 Posted May 9, 2016 Rob Lambert. Except Wolverhampton where he didn't seem to get on with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waco 1,026 Posted May 9, 2016 Nice to see he has an experienced old pro The legendary Steve Lawson in his pit... I think this kid could be the next big thing for British Speedway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GWC 495 Posted May 9, 2016 Definitely a Woffenden or Lambert in the making so quick and control for a lad with little speedway experience. I hope he takes the Woffie approach and rides National and Premier for a couple of years and has fun but no doubt Belle Aces will want to promote him as the 'new' Peter Collins' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted May 9, 2016 He's showing that he's already good enough to be a PL reserve which in itself is incredible. Beating Morley and Branford around Rye in the NL is no mean feat. Hopefully Edinburgh persist with him this year, he may well be given an EL spot at Belle Vue next year if he carries on as he is at present but he should definitely ride both NL and PL next year whatever happens on the EL front. If he does go EL in 2017 that'd stop him riding for Edinburgh you'd assume too, making him a highly sought after rider I'd imagine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Local lad with the track being 5 miles from his front door. Can't see a reason he wouldn't want to be there tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
