Bit of a surprise as teams normally go with the weakest member of the top 5 at 2. That’s a strong looking opening pairing though and should be getting the team off to a good start in meetings. Ellis in heat 8 should pick up plenty of heat wins also. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes sense to me as a starting point - king and rew started to find a good understanding on track last season, rew was pretty handy on the inside with king outside team riding. Ellis typically opens the throttle and heads for the outside similar to king, as a pair could see them getting in each others way on the outside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd have Sayfutdinov & Doyle at 1 & 5 (depending who's higher at the time). King at 3 or 4. Rew & Ellis at 2,3 or 4. Jenkins when he moves into the top 5 at number 2. Don't see why they can't swap riders around based on the opposition. Not that you see many managers do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was constantly changing the riding order from meeting to meeting last season, but that looks like the order for Belle Vue on Thursday to start with.
