Edinburgh 2014


Recommended Posts

So, back to the 2014 team, what's everyone's thoughts on riding order?

 

In my opinion;

 

1. Craig Cook - 10.52 (obviously)

2. Aaron Fox - 5.00 (give him time to settle especially away from home with less pressure. Extra points in heat 8)

3. Max Fricke - 5.81 (should do okay at 3, maybe will struggle but he's determined to learn. Can pack minor places well with DS. Good experience.)

4.. Derek Sneddon - 5.52 (hopefully balance out for having a weaker 3rd HL and decent points in heat 14)

5. Sam Masters - 7.43 (obviously)

 

Reserves either way are quite strong, but personally I would go for:

 

6. Steve Worrall - 3.00

7. Justin Sedgemen - 4.99 (will probably move into top 5 after first average change and be replaced by Aaron at #7)

 

 

Interesting

 

I would be tempted to have the following formations:

 

Home

1. Cookie

2. Derek (he knows the position quite well)

3. Sam (to cover for Aaron in the first few heats)

4. Aaron (I would keep him away from 2 to give him a chance to find out the correct set up and to avoid the top 2 riders on show (in the opening heat), plus in theory he could learn the nature of the track on the night and get an easy-ish ride in heat 14)

5. Max (maybe slightly more difficult than 3 but hopefully Max should be able to handle this at home - plus allowing him to put his toe in the water of the competitive heat 13)

6. Stevie (this is a slightly more difficult position than 7 - so I think it's more a case of letting Justin really find his feet again after a year out and hopefully get a confidence boost at 7)

7. Justin

 

Away

 

1. Cookie

2. Derek

3. Max

4. Aaron

5. Sam

6. Stevie

7. Justin

I'm excited for the team this year, I think any team with Cookie in it has a chance. Lots of people are unhappy with Theo going, I like him a lot but don't think he will improve, while some others will. The one interesting thing for me will be to see how Steve fits in riding in three leagues, especially with the Thursday/Friday meetings.

Did he not have his best season when he was on the vodka?

Maybe sobriety is the real issue? ;)
