Shale Searcher Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Should be some local interest by now, anyone pick a winner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry_Bee Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Is Danny king riding? Scott rides Leicester well, Bomber should qualify but his bike issues recently puts a little more pressure on him. Can't see it being a classic, qualification is the key and staying out of trouble. I think that King, Nicholls, Harris, Lawson, Barker, Kerr, Newman and Ellis will qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Immensely proud of Danny Astounded he managed to complete 4 laps let alone 4 heats and win his first 2! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikec Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Pleased for King. Was worried tonight would have come too early for him but safely qualified. British Final looks a really even field, if the weather plays ball it should be an absolute belter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really pleased for Danny a really nice guy i was surprised Kyle Newman did not qualify he has a poor record in the WC has only qualified once as a reserve for a British Final.As for the Final it will be very interesting how the bookies price the event up i think Lambert will be favourite with Bewley and Cook next best in the betting.

How is it that he was able to ride in an individual meeting for himself but not able to ride in a match for his club the following night. Tai Woffinden once rode in GPs with a very serious shoulder injury but said he had to then keep riding for his clubs because he felt it unfair just to ride when it suited him. In such instances guest riders ought not to be allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it was better for his clubs for him to test himself in an individual where the only person to lose out if his fitness failed was himself It was amazing he managed the rides he did and no surprise it left him unable to ride again the next night Imagine he had ridden for Leicester ran a last and then pulled out - the comments wouldve been "why didnt he try in the semi to prove his fitness" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
