Doubt Ippo will use him this season so definitely worth a shot. You can no longer ride in 3 Leagues and can't jump a League. You can ride PL + CL or CL + NL You can't ride PL +NL So if Drew wanted to ride on contract for a PL side and double up he would have to give up his deal with Kent. Can't see him doing that as he is struggling as often as shining in CL for Sheffield and needs to crack CL first. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say struggling i would say he is learning, to even cope in the top five in the Championship Drew has made huge strides.He is still learning the tracks set ups ( etc) he is a huge talent and also comes across as a real level headed young man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swindon have a good top 5 but nothing happening at reserve. The issue is Swindon need all top 5 clicking together and this will rarely happen. Last night shows Swindon’s team building issues. They will probably win at our place next Monday but I am not convinced this team is good enough to do well in the playoffs. Shanes is struggling and Zack W has gone backwards. Did you not realise the top five were not available at Belle Vue? a stupid post not thought out at all.Yes we are struggling at reserve but the encouraging thing for me was we only scored two from reserve last night and we had no Tobiasz but we still scored 41 pts.This against a strong Belle Vue side that is improving week on week and with Bewley getting more race fitness and maybe a potential change of Wells, Belle Vue will be in the mix come the end of the season .So as a Swindon fan i won't be panicking just jet.

Yes I reckon he will stick with those 2 leagues the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2 Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 According to the current averages, Pickering, Starke or Doolan and Kemp could replace Zach and Shanes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZagarRacing Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) The word on Twitter is Shanes has now been released. Who is the replacement?? And can they score better than Shanes. 2+1 / 1 / 1 / 2+1 / 0 / 2+2 / 0 Edited May 22, 2019 by ZagarRacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Stefan Nielsen could be worth a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 We stuck with Zach and Jack last season and I see the same thing happening this season with Zach and James - unless Zach continues for too long with his low scoring. We know what he is capable of and he is worth persevering with to ride out of his current slump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Can't see Zach going anywhere personally. As for Shanes his 3.15 x 1.5 = 4.72? From the Champs riders to pick from. Now they either need to be 4.5 or above (or have previously achieved 4.5 or above?) at Championship level to be eligible. So Nielsen doesn't fit, Kemp cannot do all 3 leagues, Starke & Doolan not even close. Only viable option is Sarj the tape breaker or Ayres if he has previously achieved over 4.5 (and that is allowed?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickering would of been my choice but i beleive he is to high. However IF Zach 4.29 + Shanes 3.15 = 7.44 - 0.01 to bring side under 42.5 limit = 7.43. 7.43 x 1.5 = 11.145 (can't remember where the round up/down starts). However 11.14 - 6.36 (Pickering) = 4.78 (which would be enough for Garcia or Bacon). Brave move to drop Waj but would create a title winning side in my opinion.

I am sure he has more important things to concern him than tin-pot happenings in a dwindling in interest motor sport like speedway. I will stick with it Gustix ,some of the rules now in place are very puzzling.Bugger worrying about these trivial rules lets try to get British speedway back on track with the entertainment aspect being the number one priority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
