He was only om 3pts due to him not have ridden in the league before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,406 Posted January 26, 2020 You have got to start at a points level somewhere & he was only 15. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why he started on the average he did like all others before him do.. & there is not an ounce of doubt he can achieve good things in the sport Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racin Jason 72 1,267 Posted January 26, 2020 I was very impressed with the lad at mildenhall. Reminded me a bit of kelly Moran on a bike. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Technik 476 Posted February 1, 2020 Palin is more experienced than he is given credit for. he has ridden in the youth championship at all levels, NL last season as well as many continental events where he has held his own.It is my sencere opinion that Jordan is more than ready to step into a Championship reserve berth in 2020 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 2,965 Posted February 7, 2021 Well he was apparently ready for the Speedway of Nations so the Championship should be a walk in the park lol! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,819 Posted February 17, 2021 Palin is one of a few riders that looks extremely promising for the UK future. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner85 603 Posted February 20, 2021 I am sure that Jordan will blossom this year with his experience in a Championship side.... Riding for Peterborough will be brilliant experience which will help his career. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally another season at NL to boost his confidence qould have helped but he seems in a hurry to hit the top. His rise has been solid but a biggest test for a rider is dealing with setbacks and Jordan hasn't encountered many yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would say riders like Palin are lucky this year , both top top leagues look the weakest they have been for at least 30 years. If a rider can’t attain a 4.00 average at least in the championship this year, that has to be a hugely hugely worrying sign. Palin does look set for the top though and a top prospect. I fancy Tom Brennan to make massive strides this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good home performances especially on a track that others are not as comfy with can easily inflate averages. As most of us know having too good a season can see riders frozen out as average improvement is what most clubs look at when making signings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree this is the perfect opportunity for decent young riders to set up their career without the usual pressure from having to out perform existing lower order riders to get a team spot. A lot of the new bunch have been riding against other for a lot of time in junior competitions, as well as the BYC, so it would nice to see them all survive together and produce the next crop for the immediate future. Looking forward to see their progress, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
