bruno Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Agree Sid , absolutely bonkers Bewley should have been in regardless. Speedway bends and breaks rules at a wim so Bewley should have been given a place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 How good would it have been for the Belle Vue fans to be able to have maybe cheered Bewley on in the BF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Complete P take by Schlein. Disgraceful he is in the event. So clear he is after the wildcard for Cardiff. The scb should make it clear to him before the final that even if he wins it, the place at Cardiff will go to a Brit. Sidney the robin not sure what point you are trying to make about Kyle but it was his second meeting of the season after returning from injury. A race fit Kyle Newman would have breezed through to the final. Thought he did a decent job considering his situation. Looking forward to his return to the team, hopefully next week. Where's my float gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foamfence Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 How good would it have been for the Belle Vue fans to be able to have maybe cheered Bewley on in the BF. I suspect he'd have been a bit out of his depth, rather like this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 For what it's worth I've no agenda against Rory just the ridiculous situation I also think for the good of the final and prestige (what's left of it) certain riders should be seeded already i.e. Harris Cook King Nicholls Lambert maybe S Worrall leaving leaving two semis giving an opportunity for a lot of young British riders to compete over the two qualifiers ....minus Schlein...just my view don't shoot me over it! Schlein being in is bonkers but if he wins and gets the Cardiff wildcard it sinks the bspa lower than I thought possible if it was there decision to let him ride, is it me just being thick I don't get why he's in it anyway. Il Listen to any arguments for letting him ride but I just don't get why he's in itYeah agreed it's more what's the point of it isn't it especially as in view he doesn't wish to ride for GB??!

Tsunami Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) What I can't get my head round is apart from 'because I can' why the hell does Schlein actually want to ride in a British Championship therefore attempting to become a British Champion but has zero interest in riding for Britain?? You shouldn't be allowed to class yourself as British Champion if you don't want to be British?! What a p*sstake I am sure that in your ACU licence application/renewal form you have to state if you are available for such competitions. Was introduced a few years ago when Brits were not interested in these comps. Edited May 2, 2017 by Tsunami 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) I suspect he'd have been a bit out of his depth, rather like this afternoon.Being young he is up and down at the moment, have a look at his scores but there is real quality there i have no doubt if he was in a BF now he would be on the pace.And every race he was in you could not really predict what he was going to do he is that good i think.

Was introduced a few years ago when Brits were not interesed in these comps. Just looked again and it's the SCB application form, and it asks the riders to tick the boxes if they wish to participate in British Championships, FIM Rounds, and Test matches.

I agree to a point Sidney, Dan's an exciting prospect, really smooth style for a kid who's only raced speedway for just over a year. With my Aces colours on I worry about burn out with him racing in three leagues. He's on the pace with the opposition at Belle Vue this year, however I'd protect him from BF level til next year. He could really mix it next season though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really bothered either way about Schlein but I agree about seedings, the event can ill afford to have any of the big names missing so seed 6-8 and give more riders a chance in the semi(s). Hopefully all of the big guns get through on Thursday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this Semi is much tougher than the Newcastle one - the top 8 are hard to pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iand Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Will be surprised if Kennett makes the top 8, never seems to do well at Sheffield. Harris, Nicholls, Cook, Howarths, Bates,Kerr,Auty and Robson making it through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycho3a Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I will be amazed if Josh Bates makes top 8, Lewis Bridger and Kennett although not there favourite tracks will be above him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue Ball Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Bloody freezing is my verdict. Not the most exciting meeting and drawn out due to the track work...Dirt on the track and they had to blade it off... bikes can't handle it these days it seems. Nasty crash for Robson and Wilko at the end, hope they are ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
