Riding at no.2 he regularly got the better of Steady (a feat not many were able to achieve at Owlerton!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4thbender Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Stead was at his brilliant best but found himself having to settle for the bonus point behind the Frenchman on a good few occasions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackadder Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 22 hours ago, diamond@heart said: What about Tungate after his Aussie Championship performances? Although he probably has Polish commitments? Has performed well at Brough in the past, paid 11 back in 2015 I believe. Not sure what average he would come in on. No to Wilkinson but yes to Rose. I hope we are not pinning our hopes on getting Nicholls to be told at the last minute that he can't ride in the Championship (remember the Matej Ferjan fiasco). Would be good to get him and think he will add a few to crowd numbers. I have a feeling that Tungate falls into the same category as Nicholls i.e. will need to be granted permission. If however we are on a budget, is Nicholls signature likely to happen as I would imagine he will not come cheap. Interesting if not quiet times at the moment and looking forward to a bit of positive team news, hopefully soon. Fingers crossed Rohan has said that he won't be riding in the CL this year.

Stead was one of those riders that was a team man & willing to settle behind a team mate not like others I see racing for the extra point/money, gets himself or his team mate in trouble, not racing for his, & the supporters, team.

And the rider in second place, behind his partner, will be paid for the bonus point, but it will not be used for his official average making him a bigger bargain on the lower average. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
