Think im entitled to my opinion and ill stick with what I said,my opinion he is one of the lesser number 5s.he wont be as good as Carr next season Alex.

He's putting so much effort in over the winter training everyday and I believe grading equipment so we will see.

Jesus what is wrong with people, Ben has never been given the chance to progress, unfortunately along with a number of other riders around his age chances have been given to foreign riders in the PL above the likes of Ben it is only now that chances are shared around in the higher leagues. Perhaps if they had of been given these chances earlier we would have a better team GB and the sport would not be on its ass.

i'm with you on this one alex , he seems to be taking next season very seriously and i am expecting him to have lost a stone/stone and a half before season starts. no more looking like he's wearing one of those inflatable crash vests.

More so that now there is a way up in the sport and he wasn't picked to do it he will want to prove he is good enough this year in the hope a pl team picks him next season. I really hope it works out as he is key to our side next season.

Absolute bullcrap. Hopwood is where he is now because he's crap. Lawson, Worrall x2, Cook, Birks have all been riding less than 5/7 years yet all have had EL teams. No excuses other than not being very good. Still better than 'BDJR' I suppose lol.

I will probably get my head bitten off but..... He is only .24 lower than Mildenhalls number 1 so he can't be that bad can he? Anyway not everyone has to go to the top, not everyone has to be Craig cook or Tai woffinden. Anyone who rides a speedway bike deserves respect because they risk their lives for our entertainment. without the likes of Hopwood there would be no competitive National League.

Back to the old they do ot for our entertainment so no one can criticise rubbish, they dont at all they ride because they get paid to and hope they might get better paid

You can think that but you'd probably be wrong with a journeyman of this league. He's been in it 10 years and he's hardly thinking he will get to the EL so he's not doing it for extra cash Edited by Al3x200
