Recommended Posts

Young Dane and former Somerset rider Jonas Jeppesen has been in decent form of late. Won the u-21 semi that Robert Lambert was in recently.

Sorry to read about Zach but probably the right thing to do given his scores at CL and PL levels so far this season.  Hope he comes back stronger.  Who to replace him though? 

Please not Kyle Newman.

Sad that Zach has felt the need to make this decision, but I fully understand and support it. Good luck on the grass and long tracks Zach, come back to the shale stronger when you're ready.

 

On a selfish note, I hope he told Rosco a few days ago and the Robins were able to re-declare to the authorities before the average changes? Finger's crossed!

Shame. He hasn’t developed quickly enough I don’t think. I don’t wish to be contrary, it’s just my opinion, but I have always felt that he’s had all the gear, but not necessarily the right idea. He came on the scene with some good sponsorship, sparkling van and equipment etc, maybe all a bit to much to soon and forgot about the most important bit, riding the bike.

He clearly has a lot of natural talent, with the right mentor he will be a solid rider in time. Of course that depends on whether this is a permanent or temporary break.

Hopefully he can get his head together and come back stronger it would be a shame to lose another young Brit.

I don’t think that’s Contrary at all!

On the grass Zach is immense, but speedway is a different art and style of riding, and it is hard to change between the two, hence IMO why his speedway development has been slow and almost stagnant?

I’m sure he will continue to excel on grass and hopefully come back to the shale when he has learnt to adapt his riding style accordingly?

I hope so. He seems like a good lad.

Whilst there are differences ultimately he is a motorcyclist in this type of environment so should find a way, in time, of adapting better.

Yes, Zach is immense on grass. So too is James Shanes

Pity they can't transfer this to shale
