I don't know much about him , but he's keen and with Jason Crump as a mentor he can't be that bad? May be he'll end up at Oxford when they dump one of their reserves? I think it is why he got dropped that is the issue! Skidder1 and Trackerman48 know the most about it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,636 Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) In all seriousness, it'll do the League no good at all if Brummies (or any team) end up with a 'weak' team compared to most of the others. It'll do the new promotion no favours either if they start with a series of home defeats... But I really can't see where the remaining riders will come from?

Quite a few teams have the same, it’s a dog eat dog sport and the Birmingham promotion have enough experience to know that. Newcastle aren’t exactly over loaded with top riders either. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think that was the case at Plymouth at all. He always gives 100% and certainly isn't afraid to get stuck in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strange then that the most experienced and highly regarded member of his team told him told him just that ! By getting stuck in do you mean try start a fight with all around or just ride beyond his skill level? He needs to wind his neck in and concentrate on riding and not try to play silly mind games with all around him. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
