Mark Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Rosco has a very hard job to pick his top 4. watching Bomber last night at Lynn he would have to be picked but on 13th June form you couldn't go near him. Hard to omit a GP rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Why is the race-off on Friday this year? Seems a bit unfair for the winner to have to race on consecutive nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Why is the race-off on Friday this year? Seems a bit unfair for the winner to have to race on consecutive nights. 2 main reasons 1 to make the attendance bigger for the race-off(normally disappointing) 2 so that fans can make it a weekend away with 1 nights hotel. teams were only sitting around on the Friday so I`m sure they are happier racing !! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 The race off on the Friday could well be the equivalent to a final. Makes the price of the "two nights of speedway" ticket an absolute bargain. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Hard to omit Bomber on his Prague GP form. Wont see Danny King doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 DK have done it before when one of the semi finals where held at Pboro. King would never get a 3rd in a GP. That was my point. I think the UK Championship was a one off top class performance from a middle tier rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the UK Championship was a one off top class performance from a middle tier rider. Neither would Cook though as we saw when he was in a GP last year. I'm not convinced that at the moment Lambert or Nicholls would either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 So Harris comes 3rd in a GP & all of a sudden he's a Worldy and nobody else is good enough for GB Â Let's see how he gets on at Cardiff first plus other league fixtures before you get carried away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) What Rosco needs to do is get all the prospective riders together at BV and have a practice session where they race each other or a team of guest riders.

I think the UK Championship was a one off top class performance from a middle tier rider. Perhaps but GP is different thing. King evidently have performed in a SWC event before even if it only was a semi final many years and not a race off/final.

Gavan Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 As an Ipswich fan i can see the bigger picture and i said at the time that the British Final win shouldnt guarantee Kings place, same as the bad performance from Harris shouldnt discount him, and the gp shouldnt automatically put him back in.  I can still see a situation where the 4 riders are Tai, Cook , Harris and Nicholls with Lambert at reserve. Harris is performing consistently in the league and might be coming into form and Nicholls i would always have ahead of King  I think Tai and Cook are certaintys and then now its any 2 from 4. Harris, Lambert, Nicholls and King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) His form at the new NSS isn't exactly great Edited June 26, 2016 by Mr Blobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 And has ridden 3 times at NSS and been poor every time. And if he is still struggling at the practice then I'm sure Rosco will leave him out of the team. He stil has time to decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
