Gavan Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Obvious one for me would be Lewis Kerr. Though why anyone would want to step up full time is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar_art Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Thought most of the Premier League riders were riding in the EL anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.N.T. Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Would be very disapointed if Ben Barker, Craig Cook or any rider with a 6+ EL average is not riding full time in the Elite League. As there should be more meetings in 2014 with 11 or 12 teams comepting twice home and twice away against ALL teams. I would possibly say any rider with a 5+ average should move up like Auty, Allen, Robson etc or just ride in the PL. Doubling up should be for younger British riders to encourage them to learn in the PL and try their hand at reserve in the Elite League at reserve. Lewis Kerr, Lewis Blackbird, Ashley Morris etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveEvans Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Obvious one for me would be Lewis Kerr. Though why anyone would want to step up full time is beyond me. It's called ambition and it leads to the Swedish and Polish leagues. It also leads to a good SWC team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABS Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Having watched Craig Cook all year at BV, he's more than ready. Would love to see him as a fulll BV asset along with young Max Fricke. 3rd place in the ELRC just proves the point. Congrats to Rory on his wini the ELRC, even though he is a Stretfordian.

Lewis Kerr, Lewis Blackbird, Ashley Morris etc Ability wise, Barker & Cook should be full time EL riders, I think Barker has said the current setup makes it too difficult to make the EL pay unless you can get some good rides on the continent.

I can only agree, some of our young riders just settle too easily for a PL career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Cameron Heeps best be or Mildenhall and Ipswich have some questions to answer. Last year he rode in the Oz champs which I think means he has lost any 'right' to appear for GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Cameron Heeps best be or Mildenhall and Ipswich have some questions to answer. His twitter bio states "Australian". Plus he's raced Aussie titles bad not British. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Part of the blame (if there needs to be any) lays with the authorities - Nick Morris for example seemed ready to make the pledge but was not offered any qualifying place that wouldve confirmed his allegience and hence rode in the Oz champs instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
