Scunthorpe 2015


Recommended Posts

Gutted for Ryan; but we need to protect our prize asset and bringing him back too soon; from what sounds a serious injury could hurt us in the long run.

 

Very pleased that Alex Davies looks to be over the line; because he can be a big rider for the Scorpions this year in my view.

 

But Rob's a magician pulling this rabbit out the bag at the last minute.

 

Theo Pjiper was Glasgow's No1 last season (7.09 CMA). He appeared to come into form at the back end of the season. Posting good returns at Newcastle, Edinburgh, P'Boro, Berwick; infact decent on most tracks; but 4 at Scunny early 2014. We'll work on that.

 

Thing is he is a vastly experienced rider at this level; knows the tracks and the set ups and he can be a valuable addition. So well done to the Management for acting in the best interests of everyone. Ryan is too valuable to us to run the risk of him riding while unfit; messing his average up and then the authorities making out that he doesn't meet "criteria". No; this is a common sense move by the Management and a good call.

The addition of Theo might actually add to the strength; I see Alex Davies and Theo Pjiper as the core element of the team. Then we see how things go with Ryan's injury and come June we may have a decision to make. But welcome Theo to the EWR; still very much an exciting 1-7 and very much looking forward to the season that is coming right around the corner up ahead!

 

Cheers.

Hard luck for Ryan. get well soon! However I see Theo as a very good signing. I can now see more points coming Scunny's way in meetings at the start of the season. With 2 rookies in reserve and Ryan struggling I don't think we would have coped too well. Good move Rob! Welcome to Theo. hope he takes advantage of getting plenty of practice in down at the track, once he's dialled in I think he'll be a good scorer.

aarrrgh !!!! Ryan for cripes sake. Still got to get on and get fit; price of being a racer play time or not.

Good luck to Theo but I wish we had signed him instead. :cheers: :cheers:

Sorry TT; I should know this maybe; but which team do you wish he had signed for?

Pijper should have had a team place close to home. He will serve you well. He is used to riding under pressure having covered for an incompetent team mate and some mind boggling management decisions to change riders last season.

 

The situation with Douglas may not be all that simple. If he comes back mid season and finds it hard to score points he may not achieve the magical 7 points.

But will that 7 point carry over to the following season, i,e, do riders have to have a 2015 average of 7 points or over to qualify for a visa, if not he has to make the top 4 of his State Championships.
