Will Tate finally get going as we know he can?

Obviously injuries have really hampered his progress so far, but has he actually demonstrated anything to show he’s got it in him to take a step forward on the clear early potential he showed as a rookie? Big season for his whole career path this one imo

New season, Jack Holder still a dick …Bomber still banging in the mileage 

Is this a cryptic way of saying Bomber is guesting for Holder?🤔 or simply stating facts?😆

He had the lowest winning time in the first 4 heats though...

Yeah I saw that, but impressive for someone who is a lot older than Kurtz jack and Bewley (the top boys). Disappointed about the lack of racing though, thought this track was the best in the country 👀

Absolute garbage which is unusual for Belle Vue

Belle Vue same old story will often win at home but lose away

Unsure why they went for cairns while currently Mulford is a better rider 

Cairns has been hyped up massively over the last 2 or 3 years but its clear to see he is out of his depth at this level. There has been many, many better British teenage prospects over the years than him.

Also cairns has had a growth spur in the tail end of last season which won't help when most riders are not big these days

I believe that Papa Cairns has splashed the dosh, way too much, way too soon. Will has to do the hard yards and stand on his own two feet and develop at his own pace. Fancy vans, top engines, belt drives, Karger ignition boxes handed on the solid silver plate is a false dawn. Needs to work on his talent not his gear. He is talented.

The most recent one I remember was Kyle Bickley at the same age being highly rated in the under 15s and national league etc. fancy van and kit and ended up doing nothing. 
 

Kennett at 16 was a far bigger talent, ripping up the old Premier League for Rye. Then you had Olly Allen, Simon Stead, Chris Neath, Andrew Appleton, Ross Brady plus more all far better at 16 than Cairns. 
 

be fair to give him the season to see how he goes but so far it looks like hes just another over rated young British rider. Not his fault but the usual suspects for over hyping him.

So, a young British kid (once again), goes from being a future World Champion, to being just another overrated rider...

And. All in one meeting!!!!😁

Hyping these kids up does no one any favours, yet plenty seem to do it...

"I watched him ride after the match and his times were close to those in the meeting itself"!!

Was one particular pearl of wisdom I read about him about 18 months ago..

Riding on your own, without three far more experienced riders nailing you on turns one and two is a bit different from riding on your own, and your times , and finishing positions, in those races will get hit quite severely...

Being fast is one thing, being a Speedway rider is another...

Let the kid develop at his own pace, like all should be allowed to, as the entry level for UK riders is quite a low bar, therefore one or two can look "amazing" when riding against their peer group at 15/16...

If these lads are Championship second strings by the end of 2027 then they are on track to become Premiership second strings, around two years later, (at 20/21 years old)....

If they reach that level, then by 23 or so, Premiership HL and International level will be there "glide path"...

Not many are Woffinden, Bewley or Robert Lambert level by 21 years of age, so just let these lads develop...

And the aim isn't to have future World Champs, the aim is to fill team spaces with UK lads, something the sport desperately needs...
