The NSS is one of the best tracks in Europe and should help our young stars of tomorrow to be better prepared for racing over there. I personally think B Kurtz will kick on now he has a track he can trust. Your team looks a very exciting one hyderd and to be honest i am very envious of all you Aces fans for having the opportunity to watch great racing on a great track on a regular basis.Last year when i visited when Swindon were in town the conditions were very difficult but the track held up brilliantly and it was one of the most enjoyable evening's racing i have seen in a longtime.Bewley,Lidsey,Doyle, Batchelor all served up great entertainment and i came away not believing how many different lines there were on that track great stuff indeed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swindon look exciting too, i thought Rasmus Jensen was exciting last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was and this year is a huge year for him a huge ask to maintain his average and people will compare this year to what they would of expected from Tobi.For me the most important rider is Ellis Perks he has to try and push over the five point mark. And if he does i would imagine he would swap regularly with Jordan Stewart at reserve leaving us not quite as weak in that position as it appears. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He guested for Swindon at BV the season before last and he was gash! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes i agree with all of that,from what I saw of Rasmus if he can push on and no reason why not, he can become a top rider, had a amazing season which few thought he was capable of.

If the season goes ahead, it’ll be a massive year for Rasmus. Riding as a bonafied heat leader will put a pressure on him he didn’t have last season. I agree about Ellis perks. He kicked on last season and if I were to pick a rider in the Swindon team who I thought would deliver the most growth it would be him. 2 very different teams BV and Swindon, but imo the 2 strongest. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your logic is a bit confusing my friend! An average attained from lower positions in the team, yet you think he can become a top rider but Lidsey can’t. I take nothing away from rasmus who was excellent, just can’t quite compute your logic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what you mean, Lidsey was at reserve for some of the season, so attained his average at the lower end of the team too. Rasmus ended with over two points above Lidsey, he was never a reserve and he didn't have a full season but in fairness to Lidsey he is quite a bit younger so you would expect more improvement to come.
