Grachan 7,362 Posted June 27, 2019 I still don't see the point of having Rasmus at reserve while having someone in the top 5 who struggles to score. So, Rasmus can replace him in one of his rides. What about the other 3 rides? If Rasmus was in the top 5 he could have all of those rides and the rider who struggles in the top 5 could score decently at reserve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My personal viewpoint is that I think with the options out there, we're better off looking to fill the gap left by Zach (plus any spare points to the limit) whilst waiting for Tobi to come back. So up to 4.54. Not a lot of fantastic options out there, but not many additional options by keeping Bellego, especially if Ryan Douglas is set to sign elsewhere as is rumoured. See if Nielsen can give some food for thought this evening Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In many meetings it is the reserves scores that are winning or losing the match. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is why we need someone at reserve who can win reserve races. It's useful to have a good reserve. For me, though, Rasmus is too good to be at reserve. A lot of his rides would be wasted on weaker opposition. Edited June 27, 2019 by Grachan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In 1 - 5 max score 12 points, unless there is a TR, at reserve max possible 21 points, If one of the 1-5 has an off night with Rassa at reserve he can have one of their rides, if in the 1 -5 he cannot, I know which option I would want.

Crazy robin 2,963 Posted June 27, 2019 Would David have turned down another team if he is only covering Tobi?. I bet Douglas ends up at Poole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
