northyorksbear 610 Posted July 1, 2017 And wasted at no 2.Why? I don't see him as a number 5 as yet so it has to be 2,3 or 4. Each of those gets to ride in a "reserve" based heat, so don't see why it matters which one. You could have an argument for having a strong rider at 3 as there potentially have the last chance of tactical ride. Also certain riders prefer not to be in heat 1 JBA seems content with that role Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsunami 10,219 Posted July 1, 2017 Why? I don't see him as a number 5 as yet so it has to be 2,3 or 4. Each of those gets to ride in a "reserve" based heat, so don't see why it matters which one. You could have an argument for having a strong rider at 3 as there potentially have the last chance of tactical ride. Also certain riders prefer not to be in heat 1 JBA seems content with that role I accept that, and the fact with the injury time that Jason has the heat leader replacement is already in the race. No 2 is a difficult position and Dickie Juul and Derek Snedden were probably our best for a number of years. I just feel that JBA is too good for that position, and Yes I would have him probably at No 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boz 315 Posted July 1, 2017 I think the logic in having JBA at two is also to help Perks out. Barker is one of a dying breed of team riders and I guess partnering him with Perks is to help him out as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
