Who Should Be In Gb World Cup Team?


Recommended Posts

Two spots up for grabs for six riders IMO, as Howarth isn't yet at the required standard and Auty never will be.

 

I'd probably go for Cook and King but you could make a case for any of those six.

Shocked to see Kyle in there ahead of Richard Lawson. Just got to look at recent scores and the Speedway Star Premier League averages, with him being second behind fellow Cumbrian Craig Cook and ahead of Worrall, Kennett, Barker and Auty. His Elite League results have also been good including a maximum against Poole and double figures in recent EL fixtures. 2 Maximums in his last 2 Workington fixtures. I feel he should be included in that 10 man squad.

Worrall,Cook and Barker or King. Drop Harris and arrange a training day for whole squad at Kings Lynn

Re the training day that's an absolute must. Failure to do that should initiate an investigation into whether those responsible are fit to run speedway in this country. If the Danish team can arrange a pre-season mini-camp at KL, then so can our authorities. Don't know the regulations, but I hope they haven't left it too late due to a by-law preventing testing at a track x days before an official FIM Meeting (I assuming nothing like this exists).

Why won't Auty ever be at the required standard? looked more competetive at Cardiff than Cook.And why is Harris a certain starter?as much as i like Harris he hasn't been great this year?.Woffinden, Cook,Worrall, Auty for me need to change not the same old same old.

True but I think Bomber's a different rider when hes got that Team GB race bib on. Hes been very good in the world cup over the years and I think it would be wrong to not start with him.

 

My 4 would be:

 

Woffy

Bomber

Cookie

Barker or King

Auty has been around a fair old while now and still can't gate, for me he is as good as he'll ever be. Cook, rightly or wrongly, wasn't giving it full beans at Cardiff due to the track.

 

IMO if course ;)

He can't gate for toffee but he can race no doubts about that, Cook i like very much to but recently including the last race against Somerset Doyle he got a roller he has been lucky recently in that regard but he has made huge strides.Also in the Edinburgh v Scunny meeting he got a homer decision as for me Auty beat him but he got the nod.
