IainB Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Great effort from the boys - good to see us competitive in meetings like this again. So near and yet so far but lots of positives can be taken from this surely.Third! Yes Brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 And in contention right til the last heat where as in recent years we have been the team tailed off and making up the numbers. Its a start without which you cant look to get to the middle and then the end eg rostrums and then winning. At least now there is some kind of plan rather than just leaving the youngsters to sink or swim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny the spud Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 I was flying back to France yesterday after taking in Ipswich and lakeside and to see Phil Morris and Neal Vatcher at stanstead airport at 5am with new sponsored team suits and polo shirts for the riders and escorting them to the track. You just had a feeling that organisation is starting to work its way into the youth set up It's heartbreaking for the boys to have missed out after being in contention right upto the end, but the signs are there that finally there's some kind of proper set up and vision for the future. Onwards and upwards. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 At least we're now talking part in these competitions. A few years ago we weren't. Good to see that there now seems some realisation that this is exactly the sort of experience the lads need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
