Sorry i forgot that. Which makes the fact he is not moving forward like Max a bit concerning (as a Poole Supporter). It could be either he is not as good as Max (and maybe Holder jr going forward) or he is just developing a bit slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see how all 4 develop in coming seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) I think that Fricke is ahead of Jack Holder and Kurtz at the moment but that could easily change in the future. Holder is progressing quickly and has done well in Poland and Kurtz did seem to stagnate last season but many riders do and then continue to improve. For what it's worth, I think that Fricke and Holder will both get in the GP's and maintain that level. I am less sure about Kurtz. He is fine when he makes the gate but gets beaten too often by lesser riders when he doesn't. However, it wouldn't be a surprise if, in the next 2/3 years, he did have a breakthrough season and make the next couple of steps up the ladder. I think that Masters has reached his level, which is a good PL heat leader. Edited January 8, 2019 by Aces51 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagonshocker Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Great to see Max in this kind of form but Tungate shows what a force he is down under.....if he could conquer inconsistency he would be a top performer but you can't knock his average , not everyone cuppa but I don' mind Hobbit ...very impressed with Lidsey also must be looking at 6+ this season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) Tungate i know he has a high average but you would of thought Kings Lynn or Ipswich ( has a history with C.L?) would sign him.Last year at the NSS he was so exciting to watch and did a great job so i was very surprised Belle Vue let him go.I actually think there could be a little more to come from Rohan because on his day he is a superb rider. Lidsey i believe will swap places with Wells eventually and end up in the top 5 and he could well average 6. - 6.50 he is a real prospect.

Gunner85 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Rohan was a victim of the numbers game we have to play every year. I am very satisfied with the team we have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very satisfied with the team we have Bjerre is the key for me , he is so quick when he is at his best and if he can challenge Fricke then Belle Vue have two big scorers.Then that means there is not so much pressure on Dan when he comes back but if Bjerre is flakey that could change things.

ABS Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Bjerre will be fine. Flies round the NSS and is comfortable passing there as the track is both wide and safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will gain confidence from riding at the NSS and if he can make a few gates away from home, should do it comfortably.

acef Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Kenneth will be fine. He just seems at home with bv. In 2017 he was excellent and a proper number 1. Not had one like it since crump left. He’s had bad seasons but I think that’s because he has never felt as settled as he does with bv. A track like the NSS brings the best out of people. We have an excellent top 2 and will always have strong reserves. If Dan comes back in his previous form we will have a very, very good season.
