I'm not a Workington supporter but I think that's good team, simply because it has a huge amount of potential.

Klindt aside, the whole of that Workington team  can improve their averages, with Bickley, Bewley & Proctor looking most likely.

By the way, Proctor beat both King & Schlein at Derwent Park last season.

Thats a fair enough comment and im a big fan of Bewley and Bickey but original point was i dont see who in that teams wins races often enough? It would be a surprise if any of this team averaged over 8 at the end of the season..of course its all ifs buts and maybe as every team is at this stage

so now you have fallen for it hook , line and sinker. 

how about putting the £100.00 bet on with the original poster , but not picking belle vue . for obvious reasons .

 

pick a championship side , you have the choice of ten !

something tells me you wont .

 

a good few teams have won leagues without having a rider averaging over eight .

Not the original bet though was it (never have or will bet by the way).. i understand that deep down you know its a poor team so are acting out in defence so ill leave you to it.

so looks like dan Bewley will be poor as well for belle view then , also young bBckley  Cook was poor last season as well !

 

i support speedway, good or bad .  

you are just trying to cause a stir , when there is nothing to stir . 

now off to Mcdonalds for some chips, i have had the nuggets already .

But he also lost to Rory twice and Danny twice and newman once.

Indeed he did, and many others besides.

The point being made was that in a race that he was unlikely to beat Schlein or King, yet he did it.

What you're looking at is last (or previous) seasons performances. 

To me, building a side is all about potential and that Workington team has a lot. Even Klindt, on his day, can beat anyone. 

Besides which,  having seen him attack the NSS track I can't wait to see Bewley on those big bends.

Thats all anyone can do... how are you judging there a team of great potential? Based on previous performance.. i dont see a team of great potential i see one rider with great potential.. one rider who its probably to soon for but will hopefully be a future star.. then 5 riders who will be great on occassion and awful at others abd when it really comes to crunch heats they might pop out and win but would you actually fancy them to

I’m sure we can and personally I always find it interesting to read assessments by other teams’ fans. We can all get a bit gung-ho when rating our own outfit simply because we want them to do well.

But if you’re going to voice an opinion that a team will struggle in heats 13 and 15, illustrating the point by naming two riders but omitting the guy who will actually start the season at No.1, you should probably anticipate a certain amount of scoffing in reply.

The two best riders on the night are quite often the two best riders overall.  So speculating that is not impossible, it is after all speculation.

The trick in beating the points limit is getting a team of riders who can improve their averages. With the possible exception of Klindt, I can see the entire Workington team doing that.

Having seen him ride many times last season and knowing just how good he is I suspect the biggest improvement will come from Bickley.

so it looks like (according to (philthepill) you only have to do well in heats 13 and 15 and the jobs done . i does no matter that there are another 12 heats of entertainment BEFORE we got to the crunch heats . 

plus we will have another number 1 in heat 13 and not the given of the same riders in the final heat .

yes Rene Bach IS Workingtons number . Klindt prob @ 2 ..  .

Sure. And I appreciate this year’s team has been built for depth, and potentially would have a wider spread of candidates for heat 15. But the No.1, by definition, should certainly have more chance than most.

Not sure I've ever seen kyle race...so is he a gater? Dirt chaser?  white liner?  Or a mixture?

you need to ask the fans of belle vue . 

what we seen , when we have seen kyle racing has been domination of other riders . but there is a different class of rider in the championship .

my guess is that he will be okay , if not great . 

good people behind him and his eager family . win, win ,situation . 

one thing for sure . if this team does not get you going . YER  DEED  .! ! !

tha marras are coming to town , be part of it ........
