British U19 Championship - Rye House 23/07

[21st century heathen 220]

Good luck to all the Heathens and former Heathens in the field, and there are quite a few!

 

I'd have to agree that Howarth, Garrity or Morris are the likely top three but I would keep an eye out for Hazelden too.

 

...think crump, tony rik and some others were slow burners at the start if memory serves me correct. go on shoot me down now

 

Okay.

 

Crump got the British GP wild card at 19 and won his first three rides. He won his first GP at 20, though it did take him a while to put it all together and take the title (almost certainly because he was unfortunate to face TRick at his peak).

 

Rickardsson was already National Champion at 20 and won his first world title at 24.

 

I'm thoroughly enjoying watching NL racing and we've got some lads that are great value to watch and some will progress a fair bit over the next few years, but it is certainly true to say we've a long way behind some countries at the moment. Personally, while I understand the reasons, I think the restrictive pay structure in the NL does most of the riders no favours at that level. It must cost most of them more in petrol to get there than they can earn. How can these lads really compete if they're not really earning?!

 

...I don't think Rickardsson was NL level at 18

 

I don't think he was NL level at 12.

Kyle is certainly flying just now, scored his 1st PL max recently but I have a sneaky feeling for Garrity and I think Ashley Morris will also be in the mix

 

 

They seem the three favourites, but I'd not be surprised to see Joe Jacobs up there if he gates like he did in the recent KO Cup fixture at Rye!

There was some good racing tonight, Garrity is certainly one heck of a talent. Personally I don't agree with the semi's and final system but that's speedway and I feel for Ben Morley as points wise, he was the best rider on the night. Pleasantly surprised at the standard of racing and also with James Sarjeant's performance in particular, made one cracking pass, fell whilst comfortably beating Morley in another race and maybe not getting a choice of gates in the final hampered him.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing Garrity, Sarjeant or Tom Perry in a Rye race-jacket in the future, that's for sure.
