Problem is does Cookie believe. Doyle has been such a great example for other riders to follow, he has inspired them to improve it shows it can be done.Ok not everybody will end up a world beater like Doyley but the odd sacrifice here and there and riders can improve. Thorssell,Fricke,Cook,Masters, are a few examples that come to mind they are at that stage now, very rarely going back in yesteryear can i remember many riders improve dramically to near on world class. A few come to mind Ian Cartwright and John Cookie Cook( he ended up world class) ,Rick Miller,Ronnie Correy,Troy Butler. (etc) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(etc) Nothing personnel, but the common consensus that Jason Doyle just up'ed his game & became world champion is not how I see it. He spent several season held back by a recurring shoulder injury & it was only after major surgery on that shoulder did his experience, riding ability & along with his single minded determination did he get to where he is now - #1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he had a major collarbone injury and that had held him back and i have always believed he never ever rode Poole that well at anytime.But you have to say not in your wildest dreams Ghosty that you would of predicted that he would end up World Champion if so you must be good at predicting the future.!!!

Hopefully he'll be back soon. Paul Stark is a good replacement for Damian, I look forward to seeing him wearing the Ace on his chest. cant believe they have overlooked Josh AUTY AT bELLE vUE AFTER THE WAY HE RIDES THERE TRACK CAN ONLY THINK HIS AVERAGE DOES NOT FITT .iF IT DOES THEY HAVE MADE A BIG MISTAKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one of clubs Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 I have had a look around at the new BV website and it is quite disappointing. The history section which was excellent, has disappeared, especially considering we celebrate our 90th season this season. It is something of a backward step IMO.

Just checked averages Starke 4.12 Auty 4.76 after his performance in the 2017 riders final you would have thought Auty was the better option,he only failed to make the run off because of a engine failure. in his first ride During the meeting he gave both Cookie and Fricke a good race,before Fricke wiped him out on the pits turn . I guess Mark has is reasons for going for Starke just love to hear them. Dont think Starke is a Aussie by any chance?

Look i am a big fan of Auty and in that meeting he mixed it very well and he was very unlucky not to reach the later stages.It does annoy me now that Kerr,Rose, etc) get places in the top league( and I like both of those riders yet Auty is better in my humble opinion) and he is better than Starke yet has no place.

ouch Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Josh was always the lad to beat when on their little MX machines over twenty years ago. I always thought he was destined for greatness. I cannot put my finger on why whilst riding a reserve last year he only managed an away average of 4.00 and an overall of just 4.68. I’m wondering if Lemon went for Starke because even though his average is only slightly higher at 5.08 he attained it whilst riding in the main body of the team, where he will be for these forthcoming fixtures? He might be of the opinion it’s harder in the top five? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you may be right it is only a short term solution until Damian comes back from injury, for me Auty is a better rider than Starke certainly at home be interesting to see it pans out.

Bagpuss Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 I think it speaks volumes that Auty is on an average just over four and a half yet wasn't picked up by anybody in the Premiership. He is just far too inconsistent for me especially out of the gate although I agree that he would have scored well at Belle Vue.....trouble is there are seven other tracks in the league. Starke the better option for me and as somebody has already said he achieved his average in a top five rather than from reserve. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouch Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 7 & 9 has also seen a slow start in the UK. Craig has changed his back room set up massively so I’m putting it down to early teething problems. The people he has now should be able to react quickly and they will be aware more than Craig how cut throat the Poles can be. I’ll remain optimistic for now.
