Panthers89 Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Sure riders like Bomber and Danny will take something from the meeting, good experience to stand them well for the future in the sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you learn more from your defeats than you do from your victories, so Bomber should come out of the meeting a genius!!!

Dornier Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 If you dont have a format for choosing the track reserves there will ALWAYS be somebody who disagrees with the chosen choice. Therefore to go in order of finish at the British Final is undisputable by anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poland who might just know a bit about how to run the sport haven’ t ever picked riders such as Protasiewcz and Hampel as track reserves !! They have always picked youngsters to give them an experience of the big stage- just shows the light years difference between the sport in the 2 countries !!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they do seem to have moved from picking the most promising young riders to just taking the local under 21 rider. ( e.g. Liszka in Wroclaw).

I agree. but unless you have a known format that everybody knows there will always be somebody who disagrees with the choice. If the powers that be came out beforehand and said their reasoning for the choice of reserves we would have a better understanding.. I totally agree with you it would be better to give a young one a chance am not sticking up for the oldies just pointing out the system.

Before the SON and the British Final. I went on record to say that I thought Charles Wright should be the choice for SON ( not bomber ) it was immediately shot down in flames by an Aces supporter who went on to say he thought Wright was a `bang average rider ` subsequently Wright went on to win the British Final in impressive style. In my opinion Wright is an exiting fearless rider but everybody has their opinions and until there is a format laid down in stone for choosing the track reserves there will always be some dispute.

Steve Shovlar Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 King and Harris as reserves is a nonsense. It should be British youngsters only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Seems that Craig Cook was approached about getting a reserve place for Cardiff but turned it down as he wanted to be there on merit. IMO the two reserves should be two of our younger riders, Edwards and Kemp would've been ideal especially as both qualified for the recent European Under-19 Final, maybe Dan Bewley or Leon Flint. Not quite sure what King and Harris will learn from the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 With British Under - 19 Final taking place at Redcar last night, would it not have been an idea of having the top two as reserves for Cardiff.So this morning Drew Kemp and Jason Edwards would be reserves and looking forward to gaining experience at the Cardiff SGP.

Brit under 21 winners would make more sense. However of the 4 finalists two are injured (Lambert & Brennan) and two retired (Thomas and Wajtknecht). That would leave semi finalists Kemp and Bewley as the Cardiff reserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Most peoples formulas have Kemp as some one that should be there. I mean no disrespect to either Bomber or Kingy but I feel that they should almost be embarrassed to accept a reserve birth at thier stages of their careers. Both have won races at cardiff, so a night sat in the pits watching really does nothing for them. But for a young talent just sitting in the pits with the gp boys would be massive experience and the opportunity to ride in front of the packed stadium would be inspirational for these lads. Someone who finished in 5th and without the serious injury last season would of had a shot in the gp qualifiers is stevie Worrall. For him the opportunity to get a ride could put him on the radar in poland and Sweden and help his career move on to the next level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortythirtyeight Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Neil Vatcher said on the microphone at Redcar last night that he had asked for two U-21's to be the reserves at Cardiff but was over ruled. By whom? He's supposed to be the S.C.B. Head so has the B.S.P.A. mafia got involved again ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
