kevin bass 249 Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) Kemp has got the talent but needs to toughen up both mentally and also on track, far to often he has a bad first ride or 2 and his head drops and on track he seems to back off to easily if situations get tight or if he misses the gate.

Not a fan of Peter Adams btbf he's given Kemp every chance to make a name for himself at this level. As well as his scheduled rides he was occasionally given an extra one hoping to drive up his confidence,but sadly this rarely paid dividends.Seems like a nice guy off track,but needs to show some spirit and aggression when on it.

kevin bass 249 Posted January 12, 2023 It's strange that no team in the championship fancied him either, and i don't think the few clubs left to name their final 1 to 7 can fit him in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Similar average to Dan Thompson though. Everyone seeming to go for high and low averaged riders, rather than middle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also think teams have avoided Dan T because he is so good at Leicester and that perhaps inflated his average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Puts into perspective the pelters riders get when they go back on agreements, I expect clubs do it all the time unbeknown to most of us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's only Birmingham, Plymouth and Poole left with one team slot available and all 3 of these have only a space left for a rider around a 4 point average.
