Luke Ruddick on 5.31? Nice to see a fresher approach at Stoke this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really any riders available or willing to use up the points? Slightly strange choice as I thought if it was a 3 pointer it would be Tedham. That said if any rider deserved a little luck this season it's Sam so I wish him well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Stoke decided they wanted to develop a relatively young rider for once rather than just using the older guys, I don't have anything against older riders riding in the NL, (As like captains), but I think the main focus should be youth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The higher the quality of the league the higher quality of rider you will produce. Both Tedham & Woods have had a few years in the league now and are both still 3 pointers. I can see the sense in opting for the younger rider as they have longer to develop and some riders develop slower than others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete cc 322 Posted January 24, 2018 Unfortunately Tedham isn't developing, only evolving 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete cc 322 Posted January 24, 2018 A bit early to start writing anyone off. I agree that some don't look as strong as others but let's see a wheel turned before we start judging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mac101 1,187 Posted February 7, 2018 Sad to see Luke chessals has had a bad motorcycling accident in the USA breaking numerous bones and which will put him out of action for a long while so stoke will be looking for a new number one with 9.27 to play with who will fit in there that's not got a team 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
