Impressive team - only one candidate here - Workington Team rider - Paul Starke , racked up the bonus points in the Glasgow engine room . One to watch - Josh Pickering . The confines of his home track isnt suited to his all action style . Watch his progress rocket if he moves away to somewhere like Scunthorpe Bulldog award - again Craig Cook Meeting of the season - Scunthorpe v Glasgow the day after Cardiff Surprise of the season - Berwick's dads army looked basement dwellers , They were anything but that . Underperformers - Ipswich's season was blighted by injury which was the main reason they finished mid table Unluckiest rider - youmg Dan Bewley . Hope this bad injury doesnt halt his progress Newcomer - the young laddie at Ipswich - Drew Kemp - what a prospect he is Edited October 31, 2018 by Paulco 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope this bad injury doesnt halt his progress Newcomer - the young laddie at Ipswich - Drew Kemp - what a prospect he is I was going to do mine too but I agree with you on almost every one. The Scunthorpe-Glasgow match was my favourite - which is saying something considering I watched a lot of racing at the NSS. I also very much agree about Josh Pickering and have told everyone at Belle Vue that he should be one of the first names on the team sheet. He'd be amazing there.

Actually I considered Artem Laguta as rider of the year and as the one to watch but I assumed this was for British riders or within British speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
