Is he making a come back or is it strictly a one off? I belive Nigel is now settled back in Adelaide and just wants to do a few local meetings, One of his first rides during the last winter season at Gillman he broke his wrist!

junior fan Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Australian Solo Championship Riders Named Gillman Media posted Tuesday December 9, 2008. Reserves for the qualifier are, in order of selection, Alex Davies, Todd Kurtz, Taylor Poole, Jake Anderson. Give me a break, Jake Anderson should have atleast been first reserve if he wasnt good enough to make the field.And on what ive seen of him here in adelaide he should have been included. Didnt he win the Ivan Mauger meet with Kurtz in it, what more can he do. NSW bias if ever ive seen it Typical Junior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFatDave Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Arlo's won a fair few fans over your way this season among both spectators and promotors alike, 'cos he's always willing to have a red-hot go at anything. Fingers crossed he can take that next step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed he can take that next step. Can only agreee with you there BFD, he looks a very improved rider this season. The time in the UK has really started to show, hes also been a regular at the gillman practices. On that note thanks very much to Chappy, Mark Mitchell and Don Marker for organising regular practice sessions, i know Robert has shown great improvement already this year.
