Terry Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I like Danny King a lot he's a good rider and a very nice bloke. However in his previous appearances at SWC he's been quite out of his depth. I think we need to look at last night as a unique meeting and not really as a yardstick as the weather conditions were a big factor. To be fair, with the exception of Tai, all our riders will be out of their depth. The Poles and the Russians in particular (if they send their best team) are going to love that track. And their equipment is super-fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I didn't think it was 'freak' conditions last night - the track held out remarkably well. The selection for the World Cup needs to be done on a horses-for-courses basis, so I would go for: Tai Woffinden Craig Cook Robert Lambert Danny King For me, the first three are the automatic choices, while King showed last night he is better around the NSS than either Nicholls or Harris. All the best Rob Still think that last spot is up for grabs between King and Nicholls. You say King is better than NIcholls round the Belle Vue track? He hasnt beat Nicholls there in 3 races so far!! For me Danny has struggled this season. Not one person on here would have had King in their team before last night and does one good meeting on a track that ultimately suited him, make him an auto pick over Nicholls? Im an Ipswich fan and would love to see Danny ride but im also a Team GB fan and on the day would King outscore Nicholls? Jury still out for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjsj9803 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) I would dump Woffinden in a heartbeat, if you can't be bothered to ride in the British league why should you be able to pull in a GB vest, this clown lived in Aus most of his life, world champ but brit no Edited June 14, 2016 by rjsj9803 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Tai, Cook and Lambert will be 3/4. The last place will go to either Scott or Danny, but I think he'll go with Scott purely down to experience and more track knowledge. King done well last night purely down to the fact that a wet heavy track suited him down to tee, that and the fact he's been pretty pants most of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 A nice, considered and well-rounded response. It was all that was needed as track conditions were completely different last night to the league meeting. I would dump Woffinden in a heartbeat, if you can't be bothered to ride in the British league why should you be able to pull in a GB vest, this clown lived in Aus most of his life, world champ but brit no You see that guy in your profile pic? He has lived in the UK most of his life. How dare he ever have pulled on the USA race jacket. Who had Danny King in their side before last night ? Be foolish to have him in your team now..

Grachan Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Tai's family moved to Australia when he was 4. They moved back here when he was 15. That's 11 years. He's now 25. So he hasn't lived in Australia for most of his life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Knight Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 If there was total flexibility on the reserves then Lambert at reserve would make total sense. However they can only replace an injured rider so he is wasted at number 5. The track last night wasnt exactly dry so many people immediatly jumping on who should and shouldnt ride. Im an Ipswich fan but even after last nights performance i dont think King is a certainty. He only did ok there in the league meeting on a dry track beaten twice by Nicholls and twice by Cook. He looked good in the dirt last night but is he ahead of Lambert and Nicholls for a place? For me the only 2 certaintys are Tai and Cook. After that we have 3 riders for 2 places , King, Nicholls and Lambert. Nobody else in my opinion should be considered unless injuries happen and then Steve Worrall is next in line. The reserve should be our under 21 champion who likes the big tracks and thats not Adam Ellis! I would agree with that statement - particularly at the National Speedway Stadium.

Nice pic of Ermolenko by the way. Hmm lived in the UK didnt he? Thought he rode for USA??? Tai's family moved to Australia when he was 4. They moved back here when he was 15. That's 11 years. He's now 25. So he hasn't lived in Australia for most of his life.

racers and royals Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Do not think you can leave the team selection till the day which is why I said earlier Rosco needs to get some of the possible riders to ride the track when it is dry either as a practice or against a select team. One month prior to the opening meeting, all teams must submit their riders to the FIM- MINIMUM 5 MAX 10 team GB(along with the other teams in the final ) have to nominate their team within 30 minutes of practice finishing for the final-starts at 12 noon on Saturday 30th July- so around 2.30pm all competing team line-ups will be known. Edit only 5 riders + 1 U 21 rider per team can practice. Edited June 14, 2016 by racers and royals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fourentee Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I would dump Woffinden in a heartbeat, Mercifully for Great Britain's prospects, Mr Rossiter is unlikely to see things the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Danny King wasn't in anyone's team before last night. He rode very well but one meeting on a wet heavy track shouldn't change that. His last appearance in the SWC tells it's own story. Our manager has a very hard job to pick a 4th rider to add to Tai, Cook & Lambert. On current form I would pick Scott Nicholls with Ellis as No5. Tough on Bomber as he has been a great servant but his form is poor and confidence must be low. Maybe he can have two good GP's to put him back in the frame.

screm Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Who had Danny King in their side before last night ? Probably very few, but what King did last night shouldn't be ignored as he surely rode himself into Team GB. With the same thinking Chris Harris probably rode himself out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 All I have seen is the you tube posted on here showing the last few races including the final. What I saw there was Danny King not just win the final but win by a mile, which included a well executed pass on Cook. I cannot see how a performance like that can be ignored by the team selector, wet track or not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
