Heard from a good source that his continental form from 2019 was patchy and U21 events competed in aren't full of points scored. Obviously that was 2 years ago so i do accept the chance to improve but all examples of races ive seen him in his gating isnt up to scratch. Might be tempted to have a look when Plymouth visit Eastbourne if he is still in the team at the end of July Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What people have to think is Plymouth were late getting accepted into the league when most riders had all been picked up. They were thinking for the future and establish themselves in this league and get the interest of the general public. Remember they are now the only team in Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. They therefore took the bold step of bringing in top heavy Jason ad Bjarne. This would leave them with few points to play with but what UK riders would be available. They would have to look for riders never before tried in this country but had some experience abroad. They are all young and could make it in the future. Everyone knew they would take time to settle. They also had bad luck with injuries to both Jason and Henry before a home meeting was even held. From what I have read the first match was a COVID sell out with a number of new fans who came out of interest and can’t wait to come back and the crowds will increase as COVID restrictions ease. The long term is the important thing not play off places this year. The improvements to the stadium and track are beyond belief. I have been many times over the years but only seen it from the road when coming home to Dorset . Well done all and the future I trust will be rosy. Well done to the promotion they deserve to succeed 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the flesh no but what does that matter? If i hadnt seen Woffy ride in the flesh id still know he is a top level rider (i have obviously) all evidence ive seen is that his gating is below par and a track like Plymouth that spells trouble.

The problem is none of the lads had adequate track time at Plymouth before the season began due to restrictions - weather ect. Let them get some settings sorted out over the next few matches and then if things don’t progress it’s time to make some changes but to say replace Goret 2 matches in is a harsh dig in my opinion. I really Hope he will flourish and become one to stop. UP THE GLADIATORS 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UP THE GLADIATORS This is very true, the promotion at Plymouth have done an awful lot of good things over the past 12 months, I really think they need to push to secure more time for riders to use the track even if it's in the afternoons of a few weekdays. I appreciate planning takes time and costs money but this would be huge for Plymouth to aid the development of any upcoming riders as well as new riders they bring into the club.

Has the planning changed then? Previously Plymouth could run quite often and had several training schools. The weather had been fair the past couple of weeks so plenty of opportunities. Also if curfew hasn't been hit riders can still take to the track after the meeting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also if curfew hasn't been hit riders can still take to the track after the meeting I guess it’s down to covid ect and obviously such a congested season with many riders riding 2 leagues over here practice time is pretty much impossible. But anyway we got our first home win of the season last night and I’m sure we will have many more this season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
