There maybe some truth in it, he only got 1 point from 3 rides in Poland at the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's not his choice, Pete and CVS will only want him back when he's fully fit, I'm sure they will have spoken to PK as he rode for Dackarna last week. I agree, if it was up to Jacob he would have been back already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me wolfie Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 It seemed to be confirmed in the post meeting interviews last night that Scott is indeed only in as temporary injury cover for Jacob. Meanwhile I heard that Nick Morris is back in the UK and has been spending time with Doyle in an oxygen tent to help the bone healing process. There is talk of a possible return for the bank holiday meetings with Belle Vue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me wolfie Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 No, Ryan Guest said to Scott you've been brought in as a temporary replacement for Jacob but you must be hoping it can become permanent. All Scott said was he will always try 100% whoever he's riding for but obviously he'd be delighted if he does stay. There were, I have to stay, a lot of cheers when he said that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't many fans left with any actual intelligence If Nicholls ended up moving to No 1 or 5 and his scoring dropped they'd soon change their minds. They simply compare his scores at 3/4 to those of Thorssell at No 1 and think they are comparable in some way. Don't get me wrong. I like Scott Nicholls and he is doing a good job BUT he is not as good as Jacob Thorssell at this stage of his career, especially at Monmore.

I like Scott Nicholls and he is doing a good job BUT he is not as good as Jacob Thorssell at this stage of his career, especially at Monmore. I totally get what you are saying Nicholls at home scoring 11+2, 9+2, 12+1 and 9+2....are scores from the number 3 position that Thorsell would be expected to score. Away though Scott has 13+1 and 9+1 and sometimes its away form that counts Having said that i agree that if Scott moved to number one he may struggle to replicate those scores where (especially at home) Jacob would score more. Scott currently avoids the generally harder heat 13...his 4th ride at the moment is against the opposition numbers 3 and 6 ...easier than facing the opponents 1 and 5 I would also say Scott is outscoring what Morris would have done (my opinion of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His away form at that position was good too. I disagree on Morris. He is super fast around Monmore and again riding at 3 or 4 his scores would be very high. He is, like Thorssell, another with an average lower due to a season riding at 1/5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Great news the original line up is finally going to be on track. Huge thanks to Scott who has ridden very well for us and delighted he is fixed up at Peterborough. He deserves it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
