Passed on to me by ZR. Both those are more likely than anything ZR says! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grachan 7,362 Posted June 19, 2019 The way Jensen has been riding, he'd be wasted at reserve. He is capable of beating heatleaders, so why have him riding against reserves with a rider in the top 5 who struggles. Much better to get in someone who can beat other reserves and have our best riders in the top 5. Suppose Bellego is struggling, for example. Jensen could only take one of his rides, and it would be a ride that he might have been in anyway had he not been reserve. Get someone who can win heat 2 and we're good to go. Jensen would beat other reserves by half a lap. It's a waste. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can give you 4 reasons: 1) Why waste a point 2) 7 rides For Jensen 3) He would be there for a month so his scoring could propel us up the league 4) Means we will always have a strong reserve Edited June 19, 2019 by hyabb17 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foreverblue 6,096 Posted June 19, 2019 I am not sure it matters whether Jensen is at reserve or not at this part of the season,when he has done the required amount of meetings he won't be a reserve anyway, he will most likely be a heat leader by the time we get to the play offs and the important bit of the season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anzum 250 Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Would go for Douglas. Improved his average by nearly a point . Riding for a team that is winning which helps with confidence. Average is actually higher away than at home so scores on varied tracks. Just top scored 11 in away win at Somerset Edited June 19, 2019 by Anzum Added line 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the point is we could always have a strong reserve whether that’ll be Jensen, Bellego or an other alongside Perks. To do this we need to maximise the 4.9 we have to play with now. We will then be a major force in this league Edited June 19, 2019 by hyabb17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A strong reserve gains you so much more. Don’t get me wrong I think Rasser can do a job in the top 5 but let’s say we keep Starke, Bellego struggles...only Starke & Perks can take one of his rides. Have Rasser there & I think we have the extra power needed. I would prefer we use the extra point for a better reserve than Starke. How many meetings this season have we had an advantage in heat 1 only to have that go against us in heat 2.... Edited June 19, 2019 by hyabb17 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great point but i would rather have that top five with another contributing at there level at reserve with Ellis Perks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
