stevebrum Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Good point but the league will be weaker so you wouldn't be up against a Holder/Andersen, Lindgren/Woffinden etc and it's a stronger side than Leicester's. Would certainly be pretty strong at home. Alternatively if you wanted a stronger number 1 you could leave Tungate and Grajczonek out for Zagar and whisper it quietly Troy Batchelor I'd whisper it much quieter than that!

Cliffeboy Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Not suggesting this should be the team but last year's side with Brady Kurtz coming in for Wajknecht is a total of 49.77. Clearly a little weak at the top but would be interesting to see how it would work with the strength of Allen and BWD at reserve when most other teams look likely to have at least one 2-3 pointer. Would be good at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomersetBlue Posted November 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 While I agree about having Allen and BWD at reserve we still need an experienced number 1. I imagine that Starke and Wrighty being assets will be back along with Tungate who could easily become an asset. Now Allen and BWD would be one of the top reserve pairings and Starke, Wright would be racing against other second strings. However If it was to be Grajczonek and Tungate that would leave 7.88 for the last rider. That is way too weak and whatever the reserves score would be lost at the top. I would lose one of Grajczonek/ Tungate and bring in someone to add some heat leader power. Was thinking Jepsen Jensen but he is in Sweden and Poland. I saw on another thread Hampel would only be around 9.80. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to keep BWD and Jake, especially at reserve, and I think Brady will push on next year especially in the watered down league. Brady, Rohan and Josh will not get headed by many at our place imo. Away matches will be the thing but these three will be competitive with solid proven second strings and reserves.

A ORLOV Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 down the straights and turn left hopefully? But if there is a burger van outside of the track he sometimes tries to visit it during a race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Najjer Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Having two strong reserves is almost pointless, as we proved last season. You only need 1 strong reserve so he can take 5 rides and more top end power. Sadly I think Wilson-Dean is going to miss out, so we can bring in a proper no.1 alongside Tungate and Grajczonek.

Already after sponsors for next season on his Facebook page and mentions UK and Sky so would imagine he is back. If anyone leaves I think it will be Grajczonek or Starke but we do need a proper number 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomersetBlue Posted November 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 You could have Kim Nilsson on a 9.63 with Rohan and Josh with Charles and Jake, BWD and a 4.00 rider. Thing is we're hardly going to get top riders to come here the other teams will have wealthier promotions than what we do, plus we won't get the crowds they will either. Granted we will get a few Sky meetings and more away fans but with hardly any GP riders available it is going to be tough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
