Woke23 Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Shouldn't be allowed. Rising star needs brought into Championship and you shouldn't be allowed to drop them. Tom Spencer is a young rider, who can ride at champ level, but needed time to develop. Poor by Plymouth here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh, if ever a post reflected a nickname...Respectfully that's rubbish. The impact on his confidence finishing that far back in every heat can't be good for him and he's 26! It's not like he's a teenager who is upcoming, I'd argue 26 is far too old to be classified as a rising star anyway. Can't fault Tom's efforts and his professionalism but at this time he's clearly not ready for this level of racing. Hopefully a focus on NL for him will help him potentially secure a Championship place in the future. As for his replacement Ben Whalley, it's a brave shout bringing in an NDL 2 point rider straight into the Championship even with the amount of points he's scored. Anyone know much about him from his Edinburgh form? Either way got to be worth a try!! Good luck to him.

Not really, he’s on a very false 2.00 average as it’s his first season in British speedway. Once he gets his first true average, he’ll be a heat leader on a near 10 point average. It’s no different to Will Cairns and Cooper Rushen starting on a 2.00 last season. I like Tom, he’s given it his all, but Ben is quicker and will score more points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A certain @crescent girl raved about this kid in Australia over winter, could be one to watch, especially if he is qualified British ?

Can't argue, except hardly 'raved' But yes, highlighted Ben and Reid Battye as the two to look out for. Here in UK, both hit the ground running - Battye was running up huge Championship scores when struck down from behind by an out-of-control Dane, and Whalley has been a superb reserve for Edinburgh's Academy so far . It was only a matter of time before he ascended to the CL. So, quietly pleased with my talent-spotting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Feel a bit sorry for Tom. Garry may always has a rider in his teams like a sacrificial lamb who will only get 3 rides and normally they will be on outside gates against stronger opponents and the other reserve will get the easier rides in better gates. nothing wrong with using those tactics and I’m sure the riders know this before they sign up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
