Interesting trailer from Roy El Rantero (as I believe he is known when he does centregreen work for Madrid Toreadors) about a new "line-up" in a couple of weeks...more than one change in the offing, maybe? Dunno if I was hearing things or if anyone else heard it too, but at one point I heard Roy say that there was two spaces open in the team... Hope Robbo doesn't go, and I'd feel bad if it were any of the other riders, especially this early in the season, but that's the harsh reality of sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfair/harsh or not, there is an obvious candidate. I'm not sure for how long we have a facility for Robbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered if Wilko might fall victim and get in a few mid 6 to 7 point riders and have Ash and Tero at reserve until Matty drops down, even Matty and Tero at reserve is ridiculously strong, then again I don't think Wilko deserves it as he seems very keen and always gives 110% effort and has played his part so far this year, I don't envy George right now 3 minutes ago, Terrace Grumbler said: Unfair/harsh or not, there is an obvious candidate.

I do agree, I think someone might fall victim to the 'number game' and the obvious one atm is Robbo since he's out injured, I just feel a bit sorry for whoever it may be, harsh reality of being a sports person though... All I can say is I think there are only three riders safe; Ashley, Ludvig and Tero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Just add the 2 new guys averages up, then get rid of whoevers fits best + Rose. If its not Robbo we might have to cover his absence with r/r, as it might be that he is not 1 of our top 3, (which can be covered with a guest, I believe).

allthegearbutnaeidea Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Can’t imagine you’s being able to find 2 7/8 pointers so doubt it will be both Rose and Robbo, would imagine it being Rose and either Wethers or Wilko if it’s more than 1 change as Lindgren is safe being number 1 and captain, Morris is on fire and Tero has had a good start riding at 2.
