If he signed for a southern team, he would still have all the away matches to travel to. Yeah, but not as far on a regular basis,,, Maybe boomerang has a solution Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattfordfan 286 Posted March 2, 2018 Lewis Rose needs to get fixed up otherwise he will end up having a terrible 2018 due to lack of meetings. Not going to get a ride in Poland. Reserves have to be Polish so there is only 5 spots available per week and he is bottom of the entire list with Summers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand he has signed in Poland and according to Stal Rzeszow they have named all of the following riders as part of their squad, no disrespect to Lewis but what chance has he got of actually getting a ride? @GregHancock45 @morra2012 @NicklasPorsing M.Kuciapa T.Jędrzejak D.Stachyra E.Mazur @RorySchlein3 @Rose822 @aaronsummers88 @kyle_howarth P.Wojdyło M.Rząsa M.Curzytek A.Bieliński A.Potoniec They have named 16 riders, they only need 7 (10 max I would think) and I do not know how much experience Rose has on Polish tracks, but would he even be ahead of Summers, Schlein or Howarth. I am not meaning to sound unkind to Rose as I think he is a cracking racer and love watching him, just if he is sitting out the Championship (not saying he is) waiting on a ride in Poland, will he even get one? I am struggling to come up with 2 names to fill our remaining slots and think Rose is a good shout and I don't think he would miss many or any fixtures based on above. Problem is he shows up well in practice, so they include him in 1st meeting and he's scores 8/ 9 so he's in again the next week, and the week after,. And it would only be a NL 2.00 guest if he missed any Diamond meeting Edited March 2, 2018 by leander Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FreddieWebb 4 Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) I'm unsure about the Newcastle DIamonds squad so far. Wrote a couple of articles about them so far with some thoughts on Ashley Morris and Carl Wilkinson. 1 about the signing of Carl Wilkinson and 2 about Ashley Morris and whether he can be an effective heat leader for the Diamonds or not. https://www.tremr.com/freddie-webb/rider-report-carl-wilkinson https://www.tremr.com/freddie-webb/can-ashley-morris-be-a-new-heat-leader-for-the-newcastle-diamonds Edited March 2, 2018 by FreddieWebb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He will start at reserve and maybe go into the main-body of the team as a second string. Something he was successful at last season in the difficult number 2 spot.
