JoeW436 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago I’m happy to get this one out the way if I’m Brady Kurtz and got a world championship to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Brady will be the only Ace lifting a trophy this year imo, He'll win the Wroclaw GP imo and should get a Top 2 with Bewley in the sprint race at worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanoXtra Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago 4 minutes ago, TTT said: 0 Heat Wins on the night compared to Chris' 2. But yes you could've made a case for Picko to take Chris' spot especially after Ht 13 just to try something different. C. holder was losing speed as the meeting was going on, and he looked slow against Kurtz and Bewley last time out. picko would have been a better option. IMO only, which doesn’t count for much I know 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanoXtra Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago If Belle Vue and Sheffield meet in the play offs I can see two big home wins for both teams which would make for good TV I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw42 Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Well that was a proper tanning but I enjoyed the racing, just like at the NSS I find it enthralling to watch riders blast round the outside with no fear, inches from the airbag, great skills.

It’s more follow the leader at Sheffield …. Not denying that it’s skilful but to me it’s about bravery as well Lemon clearly stated his riders didn’t attack it and even in that interview Anders Rowe said ‘didn’t want to get too wide’ where as Jack Holder said just got to get out wide …. Some riders are braver than others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know… you have 3 big scoring heat leaders at home and Cook goes well and Blodorn chips in … if the reserves can get 6 or 7 between them then it will be close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I've seen him at NSS. Can't remember seeing Morris either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago 3 minutes ago, Rob B said: Genuine question, how many seasons has Leon Flint been rising now? It's tricky deciding how long a rider can be a "rising star" for. Although the age limit has dropped since it started. Many people say the RS are too weak & out of their depth etc. Others say Jenkins & Flint have been RS too long & shouldn't be any more. But once you limit the amount of seasons, you make the standard even weaker, which leads to even more RS out of their depth! I personally think they've got it about right, Flint has come on a lot this season & his average will prevent him being an RS next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago A better than usual meeting at Owlerton for a change with a handful of decent races. One of the worst tracks for passing usually. Good to see the changes working for the Tigers. Not many teams will fear the Aces over 2 legs, away from home they are basically a 2 man team. Lidsey had one good ride. The rest are pants away from the NSS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceBelle Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago i believe you have to be 23 & under flint is 22 born in febuary so it looks like he will be a rising star next season as well so a few clubs will be after him ?? that's if there is a premiership ? who knows ?

Bash Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Think his average is too high to be a rising star next season but he will get the 25% average reduction so will be still worth a punt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint has improved, but he has reached his level just his gating has improved and likes big tracks where speed is all that matters . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummies 24. Tigers 25 Born February 2003 so will be 23 when the next season commences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
