Kelsey has potential. His first year I've never seen so many crashes from a rookie whilst in scoring positions he hardly ever fell at the back mainly when he had got round someone.
His year last year didn't have many apart from the one where he nearly ended his year and Georgie woods with that horrible crash on bend 3/4.
I hope he kicks on this year as looking through who he rode against in the youth championships, all of them seemed to have kicked on and kelsey hasn't yet (not saying he can't) but look at:
Mountain - pl reserve / NL #1
Greaves - el / pl reserve / NL #5
Clegg - el / pl reserve / NLRC
Bates - pl second string / el reserve
Danyon Hume - pl reserve / NL #5
Actually now that I think about it if Andrews averaged 3.07 Rowe won't average more than that
I agree with you on the young guns but he's a little boy and he's going to line up against some big reserves which will out muscle him every time unless he can hate like doyle
Gate not hate
So govier will start at 2 and one reserve probably won't turn up. I'm hoping Eastbourne management take advantage of this and race the islanders early on in the year
I think he needs a mentor, to teach him about equipment, set ups and track craft. Clearly a lost talent that needs the right crowd around him. If he could be part of the revolution speedway set up I think he could go far.
I don't think they will be unfortunately mike, Andrews isn't a number 2 from what I've read from cradley fans they saw him as useless last year, heathen1984 - your comments on this? Smart ain't a heat leader, Walker isn't exactly a world beater nor is Atkins if they sign Mattie Bates they have 4 reserves
I do think they could well be title contenders especially if Birmingham don't have a strong reserve, so far Eastbourne definitely have the strongest bottom 3/4
