Grachan 7,314 Posted May 17, 2018 7 hours ago, New Science said: With respect how do you think Bewley would fair in the GP at present. I think we need to be careful, yes Bewley has done well at the NSS from reserve and number 2 but is up against Cook and Lambert who both have much more international experience at World Cups and World u21 level. Yes Bewley has talent but lets be careful not to try to fast track it too quickly. He's not really up against Cook and Lambert for a place. The real choice is between those two, rather than Bewley himself. If it's Cook that gets the nod, then Lambert is at reserve. If it's Lambert then Bewley is at reserve. On form you'd probably choose Lambert for the main pair, giving Bewley the u-21 slot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's right. Woffinden & Lambert are our team with Bewley as reserve. GP rider or not Cook is out of form, says it himself. If he has a great Prague GP then Rosco will have a nice problem.
