But then we went to Mildenhall yesterday and some of the talk was that the twins don't go all that well at Redcar anyway (?). So we might be better off.

Both looked pretty good to me in the Under 21 at Redcar. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twins have to ride in the national championship. R/R is the only option for Dan and Jack Thomas is the best 2* option! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was under the impression that as he is in the main body of the team, a guest is allowed but I'm forever trying to get my head around the rule book so would appreciate you explaining why this doesn't apply in this case.

As the saying goes, you learn something new every day!!! Top 3 are allowed a guest. 4/5 are R/R unless you have more than one rider missing then you can choose who is R/R and who is guest (ie. You can run R/R in top 3 and have a guest for 4/5) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teromaafan 586 Posted September 14, 2021 Never like having to operate R/R, particularly away. I think that Lions will do well to get a point against a strong Bears team. Zaine Kennedy's performance will be key here and will most likely be taking three of the R/R rides and Jack Thomas will have to take all of his programmed rides. Our big guns will subsequently need to be bang on it to keep us in the contest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only team Bears have scored heavily against at home has been Plymouth , every team likes riding at Redcar and most have gained a point or come lose to wining only for the Bears to pull it out of the bag in the last race. I expect the same in this match. Edited September 14, 2021 by Fortythirtyeight 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I expect the same in this match. Totally agree with that. Most of the lions big guns, are very happy around Redcar. Hans Andersen, hasn't been before, but it will be like a " duck to water" and he should fit right in. The lower order could be the difference and even then it will be close, incidentally, Zaine Kennedy, has been to Redcar twice before, 6 rides for no points. I would expect him to do better this time.

stevethelion 192 Posted September 16, 2021 Jack Thomas now injured, so Greg Blair guests for Joe Thompson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MD 1,305 Posted September 17, 2021 Do Redcar always gate so poorly or were Leicester made to look good? MPT was sleeping at the tapes, one of the worst gating performances I've seen at this level, a couple more points from him would have given Redcar a win. Good stream though !
