foreverblue 6,096 Posted December 3, 2021 I think people need to lower their expectations a little, Basso can be a top rider one day but it will take time, next season he will progress but he isn't being signed as a 9point rider, if he can attain a 6point average he will more than done his job. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's going to have to average 6 for the plan to work again.... No pressure young man. Has a bit of the Nike Lunna's about him.........

Makes his debut at Redcar, last first time out but on the pace....2nd time out and he wins the race by nearly a staright in wot turned out to be the fastest time of the night. Enuff said really! Emil Grondal did similar at Rye House at PL level and look how he turned out. If he scores 4 home and away then he’s done ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted December 4, 2021 Just watched some clips or Basso and he reminds me of a young Sayfudinov. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By the time Emil was that age he'd already won two World under 21 championships and 3 Grand Prixs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Age is just a number and wot u win at any age doesn't mean that you go on to claim the ultimate prize at any age. U compare Basso with Sayfutdinov, ok I'll compare Basso with Doyle when claiming the World title, the ultimate prize, which Sayfutdinov hasn't claimed......Basso as another 12 years in the bank yet if we are to use age!!

BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted December 5, 2021 Believe in Basso. Positives *Adapts very quickly to all types of tracks as proven with his scores for Poole this season. *The Danish Bomber Harris who's not afraid to ride the boards and take risks. *Will always give it 100% whether he's first or last because he never gives up and he doesn't pretend to have a bike failure when at the back. *Great with the fans and a nice person to have around the place which is key when it comes to team spirit. *Youngster with bags of potential on a false average, 6.31 including bonus for Poole imagine what that average would've been if he spent a full season with them this year. Negatives *He'll have the odd fall due to him trying to hard but he's a youngster still learning and developing as a rider. I think Ben can up his GSA by 1.5 - 2.0 points. Who's he got to worry about in reality? As long as he takes care of the journey men and the rising stars whilst picking off a second string per meeting then we're laughing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
