Newcastle 2016

Recommended Posts

Don't know about struggle, but he has slammed into the fence a few times, because, like Nick Morris, he screws the power on and loses control a lot.

still rides it better than Kus i think though :)

Very pleased to see Lewis Rose back.

 

Simon was exciting to watch and also visibly improved last season and under the previous rules would likely have been retained. Good luck Simon, thanks for some cracking races and perhaps we will see you in black and white Kevlars again one day.

 

I'm thinking the final place will be either Richie, Robbo or someone completely new I've never heard of. Rosen could miss out here as he would not 'use up' the available points and had a disappointing season - furthermore he may attract interest from other teams as he is 'undergraded' on his current average.

Hmmmm... Maybe not, doesn't Kyle struggle a lot at Brough?

Depends which Kus you compare him with. Is it the 3 or the 0 rider at Brough, although he did top score at Peterborough and Glasgow, and would go well at Sheffield. Howarth has shown good form in the EL and has had heat leader performances with Worky particularly at Worky. Difficult choice as both up and down.

 

All quiet on the Robson front who would come in on 6.50. Might be getting held back for announcement by Redcar, or might have retired. Just guessing.

does that mean, disappointed he is back at workington or disappointed he has left and gone to Newcastle/somerset or a n other . kyle did not attend the end of season doo and the promotion stated he may want to try pastures new . somerset are the fav .

 

i don't think Newcastle is a track that suits kyle,s style. but you never know .

 

could even end up @ cashfield and change his name to rich howarth .lol.

It's not that long since Kus scored a 15 point maximum at Brought. He'd been wild card or meeting reserve at the Czech GP and Redcar asked if the meeting could be put back an hour and they did and he scored 15.

You can see the potential in Kus but he is a bit of a gating tart at Brough. Would much prefer Richie especially on his form of his last two visits where he seemed to have learned some new lines around bends 3/4 and was passing people.

Lets be honest over last few seasons he has been a gating tart at most tracks ;)

So it's going to be between :-

 

Kus

Robbo

Richie

Howarth

new possible 7 pointer

 

Rosen would be wasting 2.08 points and, after the other signings, would undo the good work.(unless a change was planned early in the season but that doesn't seem likely)

in 2014 Kus was superb at the back end of the season for Berwick, so much so that Redcar insisted on using him in their team for 2015

 

in 2015 Kus got better and better as the season progressed (didn't sulk) and as Redcar`s injuries mounted he carried the team almost single-handedly

 

in 2016 would I want him as our No 1, no, but with a top end of Lambert, Worrall S and Lingren he would be a dream second string (ours is Leigh Lanham)

 

As for this " gating tart" label, what big scoring rider does not score the vast baulk of his points from the gate.
