Think he will have a point to prove and some wages to earn and score some good points for the Comets I'll give credit to Kemp for trying to further his career, leaving the Champ to try & make it in Poland / Latvia. His return also shows there's a safety net, any heat leader who leaves the Champ, will almost certainly find a team spot when they want to return due to lack of heat leaders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 Expected a lot more from kemp yesterday But can say that for rest of team also Kemp was very poor hopefully he can change something on setup and be more competitive next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the earlier heats he was going really wide when that outside line wasn't working. I'm sure he'll come good, but he needs to get that setup dialled in plus fix those mechanical gremlins that he often has Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woke23 Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Some changes to line-up for Saturday's memorial meeting. One to note is Kemp in for Batchelor. Unsure where Batchelor is, but he hasn't missed a meeting for us in two years, so must be something important. More track time for Kemp is a positive though.

Some riders come out of retirement to ride in benefit meetings. Craig doesn't have a team place. so fair play to him for honouring Jay's memory. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H20 Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 Credit for Cook for turning up for Jay's meeting, but he could not even do all his rides before packing in again. Seen him changed on 1st bend watching when he should have been riding, sore shoulder !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
