Dcb7 23 Posted December 19, 2014 I'd go Ash at 2, heat one would be his due to his gating, with Steady team riding. Then heat 8 would be his too, having said that if I reckon when Ash gets going he'll have no choice but to be at least third heat leader. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve55 340 Posted December 20, 2014 For me it's Poole at 2 and Birks at 4. Proctor at 5 - if he's up to it in March, if not Bellago until he gets some kind of form. A bit like last season really, he wasn't up to riding at 5 when he first came into the team and was under too much pressure to perform, IMO. That's how I'd start off and see how things progress after the first half dozen meetings or so. Sure that Mr. Lee will have his own ideas and he's the man who has the final say.

Blackadder 280 Posted December 21, 2014 From Rod Colquhoun:- Injured Umina based flyer Taylor Poole hopes to be back on a bike in early February as he continues to recover from a broken femur. He says he’s generally in good health but the extra time off will help his leg to heal properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackadder 280 Posted December 22, 2014 I think that as captain, and with his experience and capabilities, Simon should instill a team riding mentality across the whole team. Paul Rickitt said in a recent Speedway Star that he should look round more often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Third Man 2,217 Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) I think that as captain, and with his experience and capabilities, Simon should instill a team riding mentality across the whole team. Paul Rickitt said in a recent Speedway Star that he should look round more often. The only time he looks round is after the race to see where his team mate has finished, he gets a stiff neck turning round when he is racing it is his one fault, abandoning his team mates to look after themselves Edited December 22, 2014 by The Third Man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I remember Doug Wyer been the same when he rode at number 1. I think certain riders can team ride and some can to be fair with the way Steady rides I don't think I would want to try and team ride with him, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerite 319 Posted December 22, 2014 To be fair, team riding in speedway (ala Morton/Collins and Moran Bros style) is a bit of a lost art these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Third Man 2,217 Posted December 23, 2014 To be fair, team riding in speedway (ala Morton/Collins and Moran Bros style) is a bit of a lost art these days. Only lost because riders wont try it Remember Andre and Benji, the best piece of team riding i have ever seen, Andre had to just about stop on every corner to protect Benji 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
