mikebv Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 15 hours ago, Roger Jacobs said: This one was behind closed doors: British Speedway webite Every tier one and two meeting should have one of these events... Four extra races for the fans, and plenty of track time for developing riders... Expenses covered only, eg fuel, tyres, travel, with the track time being "free"...

Bagpuss Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Could / would have got something out of that had Fricke not shafted Cook in heat 11. Which is quite remarkable after the dreadful start. Thank F 2026 is over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushen still young He is but you have to be so careful bigging up these kids as the next big thing. So many examples of 16 year olds who promised everything and delivered very little. Plenty of examples in the other direction as well of riders not tipped to do much, who suddenly come to life and go on to have great careers. You never can tell.

I think its easy to forget how young and inexperienced Cooper is sometimes. Hopefully they are both back, would welcome Fricke and Bomber too if they wanted to return but cho to the other three for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jody has had 2/3 seasons in Champ before full season in the Prem? Whereas Cooper did both at same time. Throwing yourself in the deep end comes to mind!

TheSmiler Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago So much talk about Cairns & Rushen, but I am thoroughly enjoying watching Harrison plod along quite nicely at only 19. Would take him back at Northampton along with Kye Thomson. They should both be the first names on the team sheet for 27. I also have noticed how much Harris enjoys the track at Northampton, and with him living up the road in Rugby, I can absolutely see him as a Fox next year.

Throwing yourself in the deep end comes to mind! Lets not forget how well he has done in the Prem though, averaging a shade under 5 in his first senior season with much of it in the top five is impressive. Not sure anyone could have expected any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
