Sugarray has also said about it on the Poole thread, who is usually very reliable with his information. I can't imagine Jason Doyle really cares about what other teams are wearing other than his own team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the money now available she may go and get Team suits. I personally don't see the problem with race jackets. Apart from last season I've never really liked them and preferred the jackets.

Not really I respect Sugarray with facts and figures but who really knows what Debbie is thinking but hey if i'm wrong and he has connections then I will admit i'm wrong, as I said I don't really care if we have suits or not. I like the different colours of the riders kevlars. Edited March 13, 2018 by rebelwonderkid 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uluru 80 Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) I loved it when riders were easy to recognise by their personal, rather than team coloured suits. Plus, when you have a guest, or introduce a new rider to the team after the start of the season, all that is needed is to hand him a race-jacket, and the team still looks like a team. Race jackets for me every time -- unless a major team sponsor makes the promotion an offer they can't refuse. Edited March 13, 2018 by Uluru 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyderd 1,216 Posted March 16, 2018 The problem with riders using their own race jackets is that opposing riders can easily identify who's behind them during a race, thus making a pass a bit harder as they have a better idea of where the attack could come from.

Catalan 710 Posted March 16, 2018 Most riders don't take any notice of opposition as they are riding their own race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldtimer 340 Posted March 18, 2018 Not very flattering picture of Debbie on Rebels web site, need to use the soft focus on your camera. Press and practice day is the bar open? As there is two hours from end of practice at 5pm to evening session in club house, will there be food available and anything happening in the two hour gap? Old Rebels videos on club house screen perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
