He's been off the bike so long that even if he comes back it's anyone's guess what sort of form he will be in. I think the best strategy is to make an alternative signing for the rest of the season or until such time as JB has proved his fitness. Can anyone suggest any available contenders?

Hel'n'Back 146 Posted June 6, 2018 I would stick with Jan Graversen as he is starting to get going. I think we have left it too long waiting on Josh and, without visiting the same teams twice this year due to lack of fixtures, we are up against it...

Totally agree. They both want to ride the same bit of track at the same time. Absolute madness putting them together. I’d put Nico at 2 and get his confidence back up with Rory.

Baldyman 6,243 Posted June 7, 2018 I would put nico or Cam at 2, good idea if it's nico, but then I wouldn't fancy heeps at number 3 either, so maybe I would go with heeps at 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,241 Posted June 7, 2018 Personally I’d definitely stick with King at 5, Sarjeant at 2 and Heeps/Covatti at 3 and 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted June 7, 2018 Imo Cam at 2 so he continues to ride with Rory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted June 7, 2018 I suppose if you stick the world's 2 worst gaters at 3 and 4 heeps and Covatti, then we may see more than one pass in races. We all have our opinions on who should be where and why, the proof will be in the pudding later if what we think is best or not. Not that it matters, cos ain't nothing I can do about it. .

Baldyman 6,243 Posted June 7, 2018 It's not just that..once they both get out gated, they will both be holding each other up trying to pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
