Surely all our options for number 2 were around Lamps average so not much different. Morris stitching us up was the problem and has clearly led to a rethink. We will be fine tho.

There must have been one(Jake Allen or Aaron Summers) who had a lower average than Dawid that would’ve meant we could’ve had Stefan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted December 10, 2018 Is James Shanes to high? he would be my choice we cant fit them in now but Jordan Stewart and Josh Pickering would be two riders i would of liked to look at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other routes would have meant Zach starting in the main body of the team I'd imagine. In Lampart we have someone who raced at No.1 last season in a side also with Robert Lambert, Sam Masters & Andreas Jonsson. Take a little look at his scores over the last couple of seasons, I think a lot are under estimating him. Time will tell, but pleased with it all so far. Assuming Zach is in, if Shanes can be the last one in then I think we'll be all good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) I wonder if the dick head from along the M4 will tell us who it is, and get it wrong again. Edited December 10, 2018 by A ORLOV 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have said they'll meet when he's back face to face. Would hazard a guess it's the number 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thecoombdog 2,367 Posted December 10, 2018 Shame that Shanes won't be in. Would have liked him at 7 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
