Sgb Championship Best Pairs 2017

Recommended Posts

Draw for the 2017 Championship Best Pairs

Group A:
GLASGOW: Richard Lawson & Aaron Summers
PETERBOROUGH: Chris Harris & Jack Holder
IPSWICH: Danny King & Rory Schlein
WORKINGTON: Thomas Jorgensen & Ty Proctor
SCUNTHORPE: Michael Palm Toft & Lewis Kerr

Group B:
EDINBURGH: Sam Masters & Erik Riss
NEWCASTLE: Robert Lambert & Steve Worrall
SHEFFIELD: Josh Grajczonek & Kyle Howarth
REDCAR: Charles Wright & Ben Barker
BERWICK: Nick Morris & David Howe

 

No Somerset this year so no Home Advantage

But hang on we have 5 riders with Home Advantage (it was bad enough when just Somerset were represented with 2 riders) the home advantage moaners can now have a field day.

 

Richard Lawson
Michael Palm Toft
Lewis Kerr

Josh Grajczonek
Charles Wright

 

Difficult decision for the Rebels fans which one to cheer for.

Group A looks weak in comparison to B.

Getting the old excuse in early I see ;)

Agree - but due to Cook being missing - otherwise groups would have been a lot more even!

Nope - being realistic.

 

As northyorksbear says - the lack of Cookie makes it the weaker group.

I think they are fairly even - from a Sheffield perspective I wouldn't have wanted to come up against Glasgow, Peterborough or Ipswich, likewise I doubt many teams would want to come up against Edinburgh, Newcastle or Sheffield. I suppose Workington and Scunny are marginally weaker than Redcar & Berwick, but I wouldn't have thought there was much in it

I wouldnt say Redcar are weak. True we will be missing Garrity, but dont forget Barker in the British championships and Somerset has been Wrights home track for a number of seasons.

Robert Lambert and Jack Holder could have some equipment difficulties as their best Equipment needs to be in Poznan 1st thing Sunday morning for the world U21 1st round .

3 of the strongest sides are in group A. Glasgow, Peterborough and Ipswich

 

Of the other group i think Newcastle are clear favourites then either Sheffield or Redcar for runners up

Is it not just a case of jumping on a flight with your favoured engine(s) and having it/them put into a frame in Poland?

That is assuming that they will actually be there.
