What UK need is a second senior rider, who - - in this emergency - - must obviously be Bomber, no? Completely and utterly pointless IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree, Dan Bewley has had this season in the top division in Poland, we can't shield all our young riders for ever, isn't this Dan's last year as an under 21. 2 days of SON will be great experience, as it will be for Robert Lambert leading the team. Lambert, Bewley plus an under 21 rider for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, see if Kemp or Brennan want it and give experience to a rider who will learn from it. We have no chance of winning without Tai. Calls for Harris to go are baffling.

I think I saw Bomber on Twitter saying he loved the track where it's going to be staged... and that was before Woffy's injury! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t recall seeing his name much if at all in the meetings that have been staged. Brennan (according to averages) is the best of the three. Kemp did well in the British Final, is British Under-19 champion and has been racing as regularly as possible at the moment at home and in Europe. Would say for that reason alone Kemp and Brennan are better picks than Rowe right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rowe has based himself in Poland from the end of July riding for Rawicz in div 2 - so he has been getting plenty of practice and meetings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn’t realise that. Makes sense why he hasn’t figured over here then. Get them all in and around the event, the experience will be valuable for them all, would be wasted on a Lawson or a Harris. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
