Countershaftcounter Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Madness to not have Harris in having scored a 15 max the other week. Just depends on whether you feel it's an advantage to have Lambert at reserve with Worral in or put him in the team with Ellis or Bates at reserve. Can see the sense in both. I'd have Lambert in the squad and leave Ellis as the U21, he's not had a good start to the season in the uk but has been outscoring Bates in the U21's for the European pairs and the U21 team World Cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 As the reserve rule has changed it would be crazy not to have Lambert as reserve. For Kings Lynn I'd go for Cook Harris King R. Worrall Lambert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) Harris has to be in the team after his 15 pt max at KL the other week and his general attitude to Team GB. Lambert should be at reserve to utilise him best. Whilst for the other teams it's a pity to not see Hancock and I expect the Czechs to take 3rd place.

Mark Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 I'd have Nicholls in the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 YOU HAVE TO PUT LAMBERT AT RESERVE! He can go in to what ever race Rosco wants him in and have a 4 of Harris, Cook, S Worrall and A N OTHER. The rule has changed now the U21 reserve can come in at anytime and not just for injuries now.

Bagpuss Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Nicholls absolutely not. R Worrall not been riding top league so why would he get in ahead of his brother? Having thought about it Lambert really has to be at reserve and has to have all his rides.....pointless to only give him two or three.

To be honest I put Richie in because of his experience at KL but I see his brother scored 10 from 4 for BV earlier in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray c Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 i suppose with lambert at reserve it does give you that extra option if you still got to have a under 21 at reserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Lambert at reserve is a giving, surely even Roscoe can see that. After that I would like to see Craig Cook, Chris Harris, Danny King be in the team, after that you are down to one of either Worrall or Scott Nicholls for the remaining place and I hope Steve Worrall gets the final place.

NickRushbrook Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Interested to see how Luke Becker goes this year. Despite scoring zero, thought he looked a decent talent. Speaking of US youngsters, what's happened to Max Ruml?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Cook named as captain for GB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Having Lambert at reserve should keep the other four on their toes so they are not replaced. The other good thing is you can make use of the good gates and weak heats when considering the joker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Have to admit I'm not sure how the U21 rule works. Almost certainly the first 8 races will be done by the starting 1-4. Can the U21 still take 5 rides between heats 9-20? If so then Lambert at reserve is the only option. Plus Harris/Cook can take a TS if needed so we could be really strong in the 2nd half of the meeting. I do far though that we could be troubled by the Czech team. Australia should cruise it to the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Lewis Bridger's Twitter is funny, questioning why he and Lawson weren't contacted / selected for GB I hope he's just having a giggle, if not that is a WTF moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Lewis Bridger's Twitter is funny, questioning why he and Lawson weren't contacted / selected for GB I hope he's just having a giggle, if not that is a WTF moment Lawson wrote an article saying Manager Rossiter didn't contact him about the training sessions pre-season despite his high ranking in the averages. Rossiter's apologised as he forgot to contact Lawson. Very shabby treatment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Lawson much better than most this season, second highest Brit in averages to Cook in Championship and only Bomber and Nicholls who is not included in that, we didn't need to name 3 U21 riders just 2 so we've effectively got Bates/Ellis instead of Lawson/Kennett/Garrity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Ellis is the strange one to me, Lawson a much better bet. Maybe he has a few U21 in case of injuries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Looks like they covered this year to stop Hancock, or any one else, doing a runner after the qualifier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he has a few U21 in case of injuries?Rosco doesn't like Lawson for some reason, that's been made clear in the past. Rosco is a complete and utter plonker, always had been , always will be.
