It's not that bad in CL and NDL but a few times I've seen him in the top flight gating, and as you say that first bend/2nd bend is where he'll need to improve Pretty sure once he masters those and is more consistent with it which seems harsh to say as he's limited in experience, he'll certainly grow into a top rider I'm hoping for his sake that he developes into a top rider would love to see any young brit rise to the top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they’re prepared to still chuck him in to aid his development then fair play to them though. Let’s not forget Boughen’s last few rides at Peterborough and Redcar. Peterborough beating Scotty, Leon flint and just missing out on the win after battling hard with Lewi Kerr. redcar beating , winning and passed against Danny king and Blodern in one race. And another race he was beating other premiership riders. scoring 2 points at Sheffield and lead one of his races getting passed by worrel to finish 2nd. That was a few days after his 16th birthday. That’s all within 1 year of racing speedway and 1 month of turning 16 going champ & prem. Going by this video he’s more than capable! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fantastic race, I've no doubt Boughen is a tremendous talent & prospect, but still wonder if he's ready for the Prem (RS) now. I remember Ace Pijper beat Sam Masters at Redcar last season, so I was then expecting him to have an 6+ average in the Champ, but he didn't even average 6 in the NL.

I very much take your point but I suspect the expectation, rightly or wrongly, is that Boughen will be in a different class to Pjiper with all due respect to him. For a sixteen year old to produce that ride in the above video a little more than a year after first getting on a speedway bike it pretty remarkable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Likewise Harris, Wright and Kerr in the Championship. That's the problem with running in both leagues! Edited November 28, 2023 by Bojangles 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted November 29, 2023 One thing is for sure. Home wins are going to be crucial next season. It looks to me it will be like it was all them years ago when away wins were rare. looks a good season on the cards 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
