Haza 1,784 Posted June 14, 2016 Well done to Robert at last nights British Final a great performance and if his gate draw had been a bit better could easily have won it. Nice to see him being competitive out of the starts whichever gate he had. Team GB at the World Cup with no bomber could be a possibility now after King Cook and Lamberts showing last night. Those three plus Tai would probably be our youngest team ever at a World Cup. Did think that Rossiter might be tempted to put Robert at reserve but surely not now. Lambert obvious choice for reserve if the reserve can slot into races at any point if one of the team is off form - I'm not sure on the rules on that one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,706 Posted June 14, 2016 Lambert obvious choice for reserve if the reserve can slot into races at any point if one of the team is off form - I'm not sure on the rules on that one Can only replace an injured / ill rider at the discretion of the event doctor in the SWC. Lambert would be wasted as an U21 reserve, already to good for that position Woffinden King Cook Lambert has to be the 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lambert would be wasted as an U21 reserve, already to good for that position Woffinden King Cook Lambert has to be the 4 I agree - wasn't sure of the rules for reserve if that's the case he will be in the top 4 - id say Cook Lambert and Woofinden are dead cert not so sure about King though I'd not rule out Harris or Nichols .

semion 2,192 Posted June 14, 2016 Would bet a few quid on Rosco sticking Harris in the line up. Cook Tai and Lambert are shoe in's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruno 1,797 Posted June 14, 2016 Tough decision for rosco ,as most seem to agree on 3 the last place between King on last nights performance but wasn't being considered before it, bomber who as never let us down but was woeful last night or Nicholls who should be considered for home track knowledge and experience but asnt wanted to know for the past few years. Myself I'd go for.............no idea tbh!!!!!! Let see the form of all 3 over the next few weeks On another point I reckon the rule on the reserve is daft, make it you can use him for an out of form rider if you want. Just being able to use them for injury is open to abuse just like we saw a few years ago Wrong thread. Doh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Byker Biker 476 Posted June 14, 2016 Tough decision? The hardest decision he has to make is flip flops or trainers!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pubichair 167 Posted June 15, 2016 King doesn't deserve to be in team just because he won British championship! Been poor all season getting overhyped big time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted June 15, 2016 King doesn't deserve to be in team just because he won British championship! Been poor all season getting overhyped big time He's been poor at the start of the season due to the anxiety of the upcoming birth of his child. He is more relaxed now and enjoying his speedway again. He has been great at Brandon, it's away he's been poor. However it's how he is at Belle Vue & his form nearer the time that counts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pubichair 167 Posted June 15, 2016 Still doesn't deserve to be in the team Steve Worral deserves it more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted June 15, 2016 Still doesn't deserve to be in the team Steve Worral deserves it more! Worrall is a good rider but there is a difference beating reserves & 2nd strings most weeks and beating riders like Pawlicki, NKI, Pedersen & Doyle. I guess we will have a better idea now he's in the aces main team. Look at Ellis & Tunagte, they can score 15 at reserve but put them against stronger riders in the main team and they score no more than 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waiheke1 4,295 Posted June 15, 2016 Team GB at the World Cup with no bomber could be a possibility now after King Cook and Lamberts showing last night. Those three plus Tai would probably be our youngest team ever at a World Cup. Did think that Rossiter might be tempted to put Robert at reserve but surely not now.Average age of that team would be 25 which is not particularly young. The world team cup winning side of 77 was a year younger on average, I suspect other years younger still. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted June 16, 2016 Some help would be much appreciated! What are the track widths and banking percentages at the Norfolk Arena. Was reading rulebooks and they set limits. Comparing that to the stories from the KL track I started to wonder whats going on... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haza 1,784 Posted June 22, 2016 Troy and kai need to be gone.Mads is past his best. bring back Kenneth I say he'd out score Mads or Troy and certainly Huckenbeck - I'd even consider Porsing as well . Changes are needed or the crowd size tonight will be normal . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
