Coventry_Bee 467 Posted July 23, 2016 Don't agree, Bomber at the new Belle Vue has struggled, he couldn't pass PL riders at the British final and Danny King was brilliant, also his Cardiff performance and recent Ipswich and Coventry form should earn him a place.

Woz01 3,589 Posted July 23, 2016 Thing is I'd bet on Bomber to beat the top riders over King and Cook. If his set up is right he's a big asset to have in the side (heat 15 last night for example) but if it isn't he could be a sitting duck. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bee 26 426 Posted July 23, 2016 Would pick Bomber over King. King only any good from gate 4 and you know Bomber can always reel someone in and make a pass. GREAT BRITAIN: Tai Woffinden © Danny King Robert Lambert Craig Cook Adam Ellis (Res) Steve Worrall (stand-by) #MonsterEnergySWC No bomber then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GREAT BRITAIN: Tai Woffinden © Danny King Robert Lambert Craig Cook Adam Ellis (Res) Steve Worrall (stand-by) #MonsterEnergySWC No bomber then Didn't King win races off the other gates at Belle Vue? He can't have got the title by being on gate 4 all night Cook is my worry as if he doesn't gate then he's not good at all. Not a good racer and struggles against the big boys. That said Harris isn't good at Belle Vue. Nicholls really out of form. Let's hope King, Tai & Lambert can dial in quick and get us on the podium.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 23, 2016 Not confident at all ,squad looks about right but still think we will be last. I don't think there's any doubt, though I would love to be proved wrong. Will we then get page upon page demanding Rosco's head like the wolf pack went after Middlo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No because Rosco hasn't included the likes of Kennett, Barker or Bridger 🙈 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted July 23, 2016 King won the BF because the wet track made the best racing line out wide and King had the courage and skill to use it. Similarly at Cardiff he did nothing until the outside line developed. I suspect that the weather next week is not going to be wet and therefore not provide the conditions he needs to do well. I hope I am wrong and he does well. As for Cook it is a myth that he is not a racer. I have seen him chase and pass riders so many times. However, he has not yet ridden at his best this year but is still the right choice at the NSS. Some think Steve Worrall might have been a better choice. He has made fantastic progress, which he showed again last night but you cannot compare his scores as a second string to Cook riding as a heat leader. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,658 Posted July 23, 2016 Bates and Harris were informed before last night's meeting that they weren't in the TEAM GB 1-5. Maybe that affected their performances worse than Nicholls and Worrall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdmc82 2,878 Posted July 23, 2016 Bates and Harris were informed before last night's meeting that they weren't in the TEAM GB 1-5. Maybe that affected their performances worse than Nicholls and Worrall. Harris looked like his head was down from the start and wasn't his usual self. We were talking in the stands saying we thought it looked like he wasn't in after Rosco informed rider that morning. Bates didn't look any different to watch. Worrall is on standby so shouldn't really affect him. It is good to see a fast draft rider involved. Yes it's on his home track but he's riding well away as well. Credit to Mark Lemon and Newcastle as he's really progressed this year. It was a great move for him leaving Swindon and joining The Aces Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fish keeper 165 Posted July 23, 2016 Fair play to Rosco for not sticking with the same old faces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil The Ace 2,863 Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) I don't get all this we have no home track advantage etc etc. We have only lost 1 home match and that was the very first match where that could be expected I suppose.
