Also, being used to small-track Edinburgh may do better away than Jye. I wouldn't be disappointed with Jye as he'll score well at home. So you want Pickering just because he'll do better at Ipswich & Wolverhampton? Not a good logic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure it will be him but rene bach been mentioned a few times I'd take any of jye, bach or pickering I used to watch Rene when he first came over to Newcastle and in 2010 he was flying, I thought he would kick on and be something special unfortunately in 2011 I think he broke his leg and personally I don't think he's been the same since which is a shame. The big thing that let's him down is his gating 8/9 times out of 10 it's atrocious and he struggles against better riders because of it. I think he's been riding in Poland though so he could well be an option. I'd like to see him do well if he does sign for Belle Vue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is reason to believe that he could adapt to the Belle Vue track and do well. His ability to do better on the small tracks would be a welcome bonus. Over the past few years that has been our weakness. Berge, Etheridge, Drodz all could score well at home but were really a liabilty away. It's obvious that we will need a more solid team this year having unfortunately lost Max Fricke and Kenny Bjerre at the top. Also, nice to see new faces.

acef 795 Posted December 8, 2019 Etheridge has moved forwards. He's still susceptible away but a lot of teams will have that issue. Rene is who I thought Phil was referring to and I hope it's not him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jye 2019 championship league home matches 8.67 championship league away matches. 4.72 this is why Belle vue dropped him in the first place when he proves himself home and away in the Championship is the time for him to move up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted December 8, 2019 Personally I'd much prefer Josh Pickering over Jye Etheridge, although I do rate the two... But Josh is so much faster and more exciting to watch... But I'd LOVE to see Rene Bach get a uk team place next season... Even if it's not with the Diamonds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) 1. Brady Kurtz 7.54 AUS 2. Steve Worrall 5.53 GBR 3. Charles Wright © 6.51 GBR 4. Dan Bewley 6.15 GBR 5. Peter Kildemand 7.10 DEN 6. Jye Etheridge 4.35 AUS 7. Jaimon Lidsey 5.16 AUS I personally thought that this would be the team once Max and Kenneth weren't coming back and Brady and Peter got signed up... Still think it will be something similar, maybe Josh Pickering rather than Jye at 6? Not sure how the Aces still feel about Steve but I hope he gets fixed up somewhere and he'd go to number 7 pretty quickly imo... So not a lot of pressure on him... To start with that's a hell of a reserve pairing!! Especially Jaimon... Dan Bewley would be the best number 4 in the league and the heat leaders, although not the best, won't be the worst either... Interesting times for Belle Vue ahead Also, Charles Wright for captain? Or is Dan ready? Edited December 8, 2019 by Dandelion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
