Bojangles 594 Posted August 22, 2023 Line-ups for the Championship Pairs confirmed (although I'm sure there will be some late changes). Disappointing for Oxford fans that there’s no Scott Nicholls, but to be expected I guess with his TV commitments. Lewi Kerr a decent replacement… GLASGOW: Chris Harris & Benjamin Basso POOLE: Richard Lawson & Ben Cook OXFORD: Sam Masters & Lewis Kerr EDINBURGH: Craig Cook & Josh Pickering BIRMINGHAM: Troy Batchelor & Justin Sedgmen BERWICK: Leon Flint & Jye Etheridge SCUNTHORPE: Ryan Douglas & Jake Allen REDCAR: Charles Wright & Danny King PLYMOUTH: Kyle Howarth & Richie Worrall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must be hard to convince fans that British Finals / Pairs / Riders Championship's are important if the riders WANT to sit them out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leon has been far from useless just not as consistent as I'm sure even he would like or expect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spiderman1 183 Posted August 26, 2023 Hard to pick a winner there Oxford has the advantage but poole ,redcar and scunthorpe will be amongst it ,shame it’s not on a non championship track to even the advantages out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
