Yes true, that is how the team is built but I just feel Lawson is the form rider, doesn't mean we won't win with Worrall, he rode well at Oxford last time.

Jaizer 2,863 Posted August 9, 2022 Depending how fit cookie is think we're in with a chance. He was good there in league match and basso is improving all the time. With Birmingham and scunny weakened should only need to beat one other team to get to semi's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't seen a much better pairing than Nick Morris and Richie Worrall around Sandy Lane. Morris has also guested for Oxford, so knows the track well.

But it's only a week since he had 9 screws put into his shattered collar bone - so surely not? It's a Mickey Mouse event that presumably pays peanuts. Rest up Sam!! Can see the names of at least 3 riders who won't be participating for one reason or another. Why name riders when it is obvious they won't be fit. Advertising standards obviously don't apply to soeedway in any shape or form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 9, 2022 Sorry FB disagree with you on this occasion. Worrall and King should be the choice. Lawson struggled at Cowley last week. It’s difficult to pass and he struggled, not passing reserve Ruml. Steve got 4 wins on the bounce and King was very good. Looking forward to this should be a big crowd. Anyone know the lineups?

He did claim at Glasgow last Sunday that he was hoping to ride in the pairs depending on how much movement he had in it. Personally I’d rather be left it till the leagues are back in action. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even a half fit Sam and Edinburgh prob still favourites. But would hate for him to make it worse by riding. Edited August 9, 2022 by lisa-colette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason Dickie the Gater struggles to pass is because he's Dickie the Gater. You actually posted after your last visit that it was a good meeting Edited August 9, 2022 by Triple.H.
