I assume Poole will go without Ablitt which in theory makes them stronger with only the 2 Cook boys having no Sheffield track experience. Don't know which one it is but one of the Cooks is at Sheffield nearly every week Mechanicing for Jack Holder who I'm sure would pass plenty of knowledge on 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least it’s at a track that is in a different league. Pairs in the past have been at Glasgow, Workington, Somerset and now this year Oxford - 2nd tier division tracks. Could have had a 4TT final with best 2nd place team being the 4th qualifying team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Us or Oxford should definitely be given a headstart of some kind as no Sheffield riders. Maybe Jack Holder could have a ride or something, just to make it fair I'd be inclined to drop Broc. But it'll be one of Broc or Connor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beirao 197 Posted July 31, 2022 Why? Right now Broc is in better form than Connor and Broc was a Sheffield rider before he joined Glasgow. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerro 190 Posted July 31, 2022 On current form its a no brainer to take Broc over Connor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazc 7,093 Posted July 31, 2022 Broc for me Connor showing very little away from Glasgow he was like a petulant child at Berwick last night in the heat that ended in. 3-0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nagy1 246 Posted July 31, 2022 Broc has rode for Sheffield. It’s a no brainer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A season away from Glasgow would do Connor good IMO. Learning a new track and not having the luxury of being carried at times in a strong team could be the push he needs. I still think he needed NL racing somewhere this year despite the lack of meetings, being Belle Vue No8 has proven meaningless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah blodorn and etheridge have missed meetings but used Z Cook instead. Defeats the purpose of the no.8 imo. Connor definitely needs more racing, anytime couple weeks off he's off the pace when start again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ideally I'd suggest a "big" track such as Berwick or Sheffield or Peterborough or Manchester or maybe loan him to our friends at Poole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beirao 197 Posted July 31, 2022 Connor isn't going to see much action in August. Three meetings at home to Brum, away at Redcar and Plymouth and that's it. If Tigers are second then their play off semi is unlikely to be before mid September so it could be just three meetings in six weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gr8scot 589 Posted July 31, 2022 Well done Glasgow, best team on the day, (wish we’d got Richard), some good racing. Young Tom & Basso excellent prospects 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
