Plymouth clearly the think he’s a 2.00 and are building their team accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 The island management are short of a bob or 2, they've the best chance yet of getting a really solid side to challenge for honours next yr if they do it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it for a couple of years, things didn't go his way and retires. Probably be back halfway through the season (another Mullins in the making LOL). Plus side good to see Danno back, had a year to find his feet and needs to really kick on this season (and yes that has been said several times before).

Top signing, really proved he can score on big tracks too last season and creates a solid scoring platform for the Warriors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurnTwo Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Well he can only ride in the championship with a team place he can’t guest as he has an average? I’m just saying from your original statement it would appear that Ben has a team place in the championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unexpected and not bad. Certainly quick enough on the bike but down on competitive laps compared to many others stepping up this year and teenage temperament needs addressing prior to the pressure cooker of league racing.

Marky_Mark Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Great to see Ben back on the island, I’ll be over a few times from the mainland supporting this great promotion no matter what side gets put together but the highlight for me last year was Alfie Bowtell blasting round the track, is it possible that he could be accommodated too? I notice that Ryan Terry-Daley is also not in the Plymouth side this year so I was thinking something like this: Ben Morley - 9.13 Chris Widman - 3.32 Ryan Terry Daley - 5.22 Danno Verge - 4.83 Alfie Bowtell - 9.24 Jamie Sealey - 2.00 Chad Wirtzfeld - 2.00 A complete guess so I could be way out but anyway best of luck to Barry, Martin and all 7 riders that represent the 2019 team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
