Zischke needs to improve a lot his machinery is really below par and went majority of the season without a mechanic and at times wasn’t changing things on the bike set up etc until his 3rd ride. I believe he can improve.
Hook will naturally struggle in the main body of the team but he definitely deserves a team place.
Etheridge I believe was solid and would give another chance for sure been around a while knows the tracks but will need to improve away from home.
Batchelor I would only have back as 3rd heat leader the number 1 and 5 days have long gone. The question will be is the desire still there? Also questionable attitude if things don’t go his way.
Voulas very solid at home but to win things needs to be solid away and he is far from that very poor away with no improvement I would let go.
Foord I would keep for sure natural racer and another year older learning his trade I believe he needs signed ASAP if not can see him going to Glasgow.
New Faces possibilities?
Klindt good number 1 wins a lot from the gate but machinery 1st class and very experienced rider but doubt would be availability and commitment and can imagine not being a cheap option.
Juul Pedersen brilliant in his couple of meetings in england but can imagine in high demand and knowing Danish riders not cheap and maybe go searching for the best deal. Also unsure what average he may come in on?
Jonathan Grathn I would try everything to get this guy goes well at Workington and had good away form for Edinburgh for his first season will only get better.
Dan Thompson people say he is not a number 1 but averages and figures don’t lie. 8.50 average for a reason. He is an active rider and has very good machinery riding in both leagues. He is only going to get better and will be a big force in this league next 1-2 years. He would be my choice at number 1
Thoughts Workington fans?
Thanks
