Who Should Be In Gb World Cup Team?

[The Know]

Apparently Bridger has assured Middleditch that he has fast bikes out in Poland,lets all hope thats true.

 

Need to be to carry his ego and very very large head

If you were to draw a graph of length of years riding a speedway bike at any level for both of them and graph it against achievement in the sport so far, Cook will have a much steeper line as his development has been much quicker and sharper than Bridgers. Maybe Bridger is 3yrs younger than Cook, but when you look at who's progressed quicker than Cook is by far and away the better option.

Craig Cook is in his 5th season. By Bridgers 5th season he was an EL heat leader.

 

Cook is good but Bridger had done more at season 5 than Cook has TBF. Both are immense talents, it's just nice to be arguing over who to leave out!

Bridger was a close to 5.00 EL rider by the age of 16, in terms of short term progress that dwarfs just about any Brit of the last 10 years, but he is a bit of a twit which always works against him.

 

Bridger is 23 years old and has been a close to 7.00 EL man on more than one occasion, won open meetings or been on the podium in open meetings featuring some outstanding riders, while open meetings aren’t what they were it does show that (in the UK at least) he has the ability to compete with a standard of rider far above even the PLRC.

 

You could argue that his progress stalled for a couple of years, but at the same time there was always a chance going to plateau out at some stage given his early rise, he seems to have picked it up again this season.

 

In terms of career he has still only had 7 years racing competitive speedway, and in that time has achieved a fair amount.

 

I just find it slightly odd that there is this growing idea that guys like Cook, Auty and Worral should be given experience, yet Bridger, who has achieved more than any of the 3 despite being comparable ages, or younger than the others is constantly rubbished. He was poor in the previous WC he rode in, but at the same time, he was riding it in when he was 21/22 that’s young, that should be forgiven and put down to being part of the learning curve IMO.

These guys you mentioned are all certainly better on bigger tracks? Cook, certainly has proved his worth Worrall and Auty are all better than Bridger on bigger tracks.He is decent though and if he does well great i will applaud but he always has done well at home at Eastie and Lakeside massive homer tracks what is his away average?

you saying Auty is better than Bridger? is that the elite league number 7 Auty and the elite league 3rd in his teams averages Bridger? would love some of what your smoking

Da? forget the riding order Brummies are that way 1 to 7 is pretty solid if i had a guess Covatti will be no 7 in the averages on a 5.5 average not bad eh. Bridger riding 2nd div Czech stuff has done well i like him but his away average generally is not great also if he rode in the PL he would be no more than a top ten rider be below if anything.

Lewis was impressive at the Showground last month, scoring 12+1 guesting for a well beaten Eastie. He looks a much better all rounder this year, and he deserves a team place IMO... Edited July 17, 2013 by blupanther

Still including Auty in the conversation? He's nowhere near the same level as Bridger/Cook, nor have anywhere near the same potential as Worrall.

You don't go my friend! Do you ever watch live British speedway? Na so in my eyes your opinion means ZiLCh saying that you talk the talk take a deep breath and listen to others OPINIONS(not mine) and maybe you might learn something! Edited July 25, 2013 by sidney
