If you put aside the clubs SS and EK ride for, GB have two 'young' riders where their careers have taken similar paths and both look to have an exciting future.....and it seems there are others on the way, Bridger, Woffinden, Auty etc.
SS - Premier League to Elite League reserve to Elite League '2nd string' to Elite League Heatleader (Albeit in a struggling Aces team)
EK - Premier League to Elite League reserve to Elite League '2nd string' to ........... it is only a matter of time.
Obviously everyone will have their own opinion about reasons why someone is picked or not picked, but whoever is selected will get the support of UK fans in Cardiff I am sure......... maybe for 1 night only !!!!
My selection would be SS but it would not be a controversial decision if EK was given the nod.
