Coventry 2015


Recommended Posts

Surprise signing but pleased. Hopefully he will go well with the bees.

 

Yeah, and if it doesn't work out, we can always re-declare with Fred Perkins for the run-in to the play-offs. As long as Fred doesn't need a loan to get his old JAP back from the museum...........

It's one thing going flat out on a fast bike in Poland, and another riding the tight throttle control tracks over here. Evan so I wish him and Coventry success.

Coventry were one of my favourites for the title with Woodward or similar in the last place, but I think they've blown it with this signing. Poor.

Shame Horton forgot about JK when talking to all the available riders. Hopefully this is just a off day for Jakub.

We all know it'll take him a bit of time to get dialled in. Hopefully, with all the extra Brandon experience in the rest of the team, Havelock will be able to spend more time with Jamrog as the rest of the team, especially around Brandon, should be able to look after themselves.

 

A couple of years ago, Zengi came over and scored poorly at Blunsdon in the Bob Kilby meeting (I think it was). And that was at a track Zengi was familiar with. He went on to be our rider of the season that year. Last year, Craig Cook and Nick Morris looked awesome in the Ben Fund meeting, making more established riders look decidedly average. Both (at least at EL level) went on to have pretty unspectacular seasons last year. Form in this meeting means nothing.

 

It's certainly a left-field signing. It may or may not work out, but he seems to have a degree of pedigree in Poland. Time will tell, I suppose and if it's not working out we'll sign someone else. Once the season gets going and riders are struggling for form, many of the want-aways will be available. It happens every year.

Absolutely I seen Iversen have an average Ben Fund and ended the season as a GP rider. Never take these meetings into account either way. I'd very much doubt he'd have his top equipment here while doing these meetings. Now signed I'm sure better equipment will be on its way.
