Lefty Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) Oh dear . . . If race-jackets are a no-no - then what do the three Premier League double up/down guests get to use? I hope we are not relying on random numbers on the side of the bike or the variance in the colour of the helmets? And the Wolves fans can look forward to another "Long Good Friday" shambles at Belle Vue.. . .still we can go home after Heat 10 now Edited December 4, 2012 by Lefty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 But they just look so unprofessional flapping in the wind They can look great. Oxford had the right idea a few years back when they'd crossed out a riders name in pen, and scribbled the name of another underneath it. Can't believe it didn't catch on. Another lost chance to make the sport great again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats right, in the waggy era we had a new rider every week, would have cost a fortune in race jackets if it wasn't for that pen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Kling in reserve is fine. And so he should be with 4 years experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.N.T. Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Race Jackets are not being used in the Elite League as a whole I thought and doubling up riders will have a set of Kevlars as they should be in 90% of the meetings. With certain riders already signed up elsewhere, I am hoping Wolves go with Stuart Robson at reserve alongside Jacob Thorssell as we have been struggling with the tail end for the last few years. Should he move up to the main body will mean another 5+ rider droppingdown. 1 - Tai Woffinden 8.80 2 - Tyron Proctor 5.53 3 - 4 - Ricky Wells 5.79 5 - Fredrik Lindgren 8.68 6 - Stuart Robson 5.09 7 - Jacob Thossell 3.00 leaves 5.61 for the final place. 5.60 Peter Ljung (1) 5.57 Grzegorz Zengota (2) 5.45 Kim Nilsson (6) 5.43 Denis Andersson (5) 5.37 Daniel Nermark (4) 5.24 David Ruud (3) (order of preference) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish keeper Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 TNT take Robson out put Mikkel Michelsen in on a 6 and that leaves 4.69 for the other if MM is as good as people say he is he should do his average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.N.T. Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 While I can see why they have changed the assessed averages, I think its a bit high for a 18 year old to be set at 6.00 who has mainly ridden in Denmark and in the lower leagues at Sweden. Yes he was a high scorer in the World U21 finals but thats not against Crump. Hancock, Pedersen etc so if it was 5.00 or 5.50 then I would agree he is worth looking at. However, if its more then I would rather go with a team that has Robbo at reserve rather than Ales Dryml !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd never ride against them here either so he'll be alright. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobStefenson Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I am interested to find out what middle order rider Peter and Chris have lined up as I believe it's vital to get a 3rd heat leader that can ease the pressure on Tai and Freddie, I am happy that Ricky and Jacob have both been retained as they have tons of potential that can see them possibly challenge for heat-leader and second string positions in the future. Tai - 8.8 Freddie - 8.68 Andersson - 5.43 Ricky - 5.79 Ty - 5.53 S.Robson - 5.09 Jacob - 3.00 This adds up to 42.32 and would mean a free scoring reserve through the whole season along with stable middle order riders. Anybody else considered about Ricky's PL commitments and the possible replacements available to us if he is missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishRoundabout Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Perhaps they could get Buckowski as well!! Both 'hair raising' riders i have to say and very exciting to watch. They would both run out of room at Monmore though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
