IronScorpion 1,407 Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) I've heard a rumour J Franc could be returning to Britain. There is a story in our local paper that a new rider has ridden no1 before. Personally, i would have gone for a rider that we were chasing & almost got at the tail of last year, Mikkel Michelsen. Another young Dane so travel arrangements we are used to but depends how busy he is & if he could help us short term. He is riding well abroad & he could help us similar to Mikkel Bech at Plymouth is hoping to do. Ryan Douglas could get a new CMA based not on 4h & 4a meetings(not sure if league cup counts or just league) but on a rule posted by lucifer sam. This would drop his CMA & allow for a rider above Jorgys, so he could come back after his injury. I would guess this could be the hold up. This is just my guess on things as the rules are not simple to follow. Edited June 6, 2013 by IronScorpion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
proud panther 1,505 Posted June 6, 2013 Think you should be looking to replace Palm Toft full time first. Looks a pale shadow of the rider from last season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) As the title states, just commented on the Jorgy area. We know r/r is not working as David & Ash get the points but Toft & a reserve, collectively, cannot get the points that Jorgy would have got. We all know what Toft CAN do as he proved that last year, after his engine was sorted & the number of guest appearances he got. Has he got a problem with his engine, is it confidence, is he overtrying or as a champion, i,ve done it so it's easy now, but you have got to keep looking to better yourself, as others have done. As a team, the lads have upped their CMA's but they have not ridden to the highs of the end of last year & this is making us look poor. Coupled with inexperienced reserves, we have not been able to replace riders who have not performed with a reserve. We have missed the big reserve scorer that Heeps, Kerr & Dyer, who have all done well. Edited June 7, 2013 by IronScorpion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
proud panther 1,505 Posted June 7, 2013 Roynon would be ideal, but would he fit in place of Jorgensen or Palm Toft when Douglas gets a new average ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrMungo 708 Posted June 7, 2013 Don't think LC matches count towards the averages. As for Palm Toft, he certainly hasn't looked as quick as he did last season. A change in engine tuner might help? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
