Which i like that attitude very much. Alsways walk before you run. so your best hope now is Sam hagon or wait to see what we do when cairns becomes 16. You either take cairns or take Mulford after we get cairns in More likely he will be at Leicester if Gilkes is confirmed as ruled out for season as Will has admitted he has overcome some of his negative thoughts about the Leicester track if BV decide not to use him Edited May 31, 2025 by flagrag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants the rising star spot. If we want him he will be with us 100%. If we don’t then yeah. Suppose Leicester will be his first choice. Forgot about Joe Thompson.

szkocjasid Posted June 1, 2025 Report Share Posted June 1, 2025 On 5/31/2025 at 9:11 AM, Racin Jason 72 said: The bigger question is do we put far too much pressure on our young riders. a sensational debut season in the NDL doesn’t necessarily equate to a international career. Drew kemp for example was dynamite for mildenhall. Got called up in the championship for Ipswich and scored 14 at Scunthorpe on his debut and everybody’s expectations sky rocketed. big moves to big clubs with big pressure didn’t work particularly well but now he is settled and allowed to progress at his own pace he has blossomed. Ashton was fast tracked to team GB and maybe that was too early ? I just hope will cairns and cooper rushton are allowed to progress in their own time without the pressure. Ignoring any pressure put on young riders, if there is any, these riders also need to be sensible about how long to stay in the NL/NT or when to move up to Champ / Prem. Would Boughen have faired better of he stayed in the NL for another season & didn't become a RS as a 16 year old? Honed his skills more at a power level? I'm a bit surprised so many seem to think Cairns will be Belle Vue's RS as soon as he reaches 16, yes he's a very promising rider, but surely not better than Mulford just yet? Even pre-season most weren't saying, Cairns may get a chance if Mulford doesn't improve, more like Cairns will get the RS spot on his birthday.

William isn’t beating all before him in the NL so to think he can slot in at RS and do better than Jake is an incorrect assumption imo. You have to invest a lot into an RS from a time, advice and machinery point of view and allow them to step away if needed, as we did with Connor. The Aces have yet to drop an RS since the scheme started a few years ago and I’d be very surprised if we dropped Jake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if he gets a 28 day ban He missed one ride having said he didn't feel fit to ride The medic refused to sign him off but how many are qualified to give a mental health assessment as opposed to the physical assessment you expected them to deal with (genuinely do not know) I'm actually surprised he wasn't allowed to withdraw. Surely you listen to the patient and give the benefit of doubt (if there was any) Perhaps he should've just gone to tapes and simply pulled up as soon as theyweere released.....

So he is unfit Friday but fit Monday? He is obviously struggling with the mental side at this stage in his career. Maybe he should take some time out but it seems as far as Kings Lynn are concerned he is riding tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn are woefully slow in getting previews and information out at the best of times. I know the Ipswich admin has been left frustrated many times in recent seasons waiting for declarations from Lynn so the Ipswich admin could get the meeting previews up. Wouldn’t bet against them already knowing he’ll not ride tomorrow if he is intent on not riding. We’ll probably find out at some point tomorrow.
