Plymouth 2014


Recommended Posts

I think Kalle will be in the main body with Benko at reserve. Isn't Kalle on something like 5.4 - I'm sure he was last season for all of one lap that he rode for Plymouth in.

 

Lemon is quite frankly a disgraceful signing that will see many fans think twice about attending. No-one wants to watch him poodle around at the back when he misses the gate. So much for 'loads of riders' wanting to come to Plymouth. That team is pretty piss poor and believe you me the last rider I'm hearing won't make things any better!

Kalle is a 7 plus rider if he stays of the Vodka! :drink:

and away from the ash clouds :)

now now, you can't be negative... The speedway nerd fraternity will be telling you to be ever so grateful to even have speedway, to part with your cash to watch.... :)

Its better than that, Mike. Barker, Newman & Davies should improve and Katajisto could go up about 3 points if he gets back to the form he showed a few years ago.

 

What I do agree with you on is that Lemon signing will put people off. It only takes one bad decision to ruin a lot of good work (such as getting Barker back) and I'd say that's it.

 

Did Jensen become a Plymouth asset?

 

I am pretty sure Bech did so he must have done.

With Plymouth being my third favourite team I would have preferred to have seen

 

1. Ben Barker 9.44

2. (Jan Graversen?) 5.25 or assessed 5

3. Alex Davies 7.38

4. Kyle Newman 5.32

5. Rasmus Jensen 7.00

6. A young British 3 pointer (Greenwood?, Matt Williamson?) Or James Holder if he fits and still rides

7. Roland Benko 5.00

If Jensen isn't a Plymouth asset then that would make him an even more attractive capture for someone..

 

Jensen definitely is not a Plymouth asset, he is one match short.

They are more likely to reduce than increase IMO.

 

Quite agree, Barker may end up around his start at 9.44 but Newman and Davies going away from Somerset where their averages are heavily favoured towards their home scores will surely see them drop. They may get dialled in after a while but if Davies improves on 7.3 I'd be shocked!

 

Kalle, well some say he's got great potential, others say he's poor. With that in mind he'll probably get around his average. Benko won't hit his assessed figure and Lemon could well be a reserve by the end of the year.

 

Poor team imo! Especially when you compare it to the teams already declared!

No place for Rasmus Jensen then. Would love to see him at Redcar.

Had the pleasure of seeing him make his debut for the Devils last year.

Lovely relaxed style. May be down to logistics, but a far better option than Lemo.

 

Rode 4 home and 3 away meetings. Was due to ride at Glasgow but couldn't ride the rearranged fixture due to exams and therefore never became an asset. Will be a great signing for someone now that the Devils appear to have discounted him. As a Devils supporter that's a great pity.

 

If you get him at Redcar, you'll have recruited an absolute gem.

its pathetic that someone else can get him as an asset though.... That should be the reward for signing him in the first place.

I agree it seems harsh to lose him as an asset due to being one match short of qualification.

 

Coincidence that he couldn't ride that final match or am I being cynical?

 

I wonder if someone else had a word in his ear..

in that case... He'll be at Somerset :).... Like Dak ended up there a few years ago :)

I'm assured that he had exams and who can blame him for putting those first? Bear in mind that the match that he missed was a rearranged one too ...

At least we know who'll finish bottom next season so Glasgow are safe!

there are still plenty of good riders around who are not fixed up allen,nemo,procter,karlsson,bjerre,vissing,seb to name but a few so a little way into the season you can always make changers.

imo thats pretty much spot on. Newman will be ok away but at Plymouth last year, he got 2+1, 3+1, 3+1 so he will have to get dialled in to the home track pretty quickly to maintain his average
