spin king Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 I will go with Sheffield Somerset Eastbourne Leicester Dark Horses Redcar As people have mentioned at Sheffield we have Drew Kemp on a 2 point average, whereas in truth but for one meeting he is really a 4.5 rider, on top of that we have Kasper Andersen on a assessed 5.20 average whereas he is maybe one or two meetings away from been a 6 point rider., both Andersen and Kemp are false averages and gives a more than potential 3,5 advantage over the other teams. Eastbourne might have decent reserves at home, but with American Broc Nichol either starting or moving quickly down to reserve we have a rider that can adapt very quickly to a small technical track as he is used to riding those types of tracks in the States, he proved that last season when he cope more than adequately at Lakeside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunters Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 17 hours ago, gazzac said: Not many will rate Eastbourne as contenders for the playoffs , but Wood and Brennen generally had the beating of anyone at Arlington last season in the NL including Kemp and Mountain, add in the fact that a lot of riders in the championship won't have had any experience of the tight turns of Arlington , can't see them losing at home next season especially with a top end that ride Arlington well. Away will be Eagles of old but win all at home, pick up an odd point or two away and you certainly should get to the playoffs, probably not win them, but top 4 a definite possibility. Don't under estimate Tom Brennan away from home, he is no one track pony and his recent tour of Australia has been an eye opener. Some really good performances against several of the 1 to 5 riders of the championship and even equalled Jason Crump in one of Jason's rare appearances. You can check out his results on the usual updates site in the Australian section which does not include his 11 points just losing out on the final of the Jack Young Cup. He will only be reserve until the first new averages and I expect big things from him this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Brennan is a good prospect , but dont expect too much from him just because he beat crumpy in one of Jasons rare meetings down under . jase is there to bring on young kids on and give them a kick start , so to speak .as you say , a rare meeting for him . but well done to Tom . the same goes for Jedd List , scored 7 points in a meeting full of novices and i can see him having a tuff time in the championship until he gets sorted , Berwick are my tip for the championship in 2019 and a couple of underdogs to run them close .edinbra look good also, but the other scottish team have a longish tail . too many points gobbled up by Craig i think . just my opinion of course .

Tom i saw him ride twice for the Robin's last year and he really impressed me technically he is very good rider.On the face of it before the Swindon v Poole meeting started i thought maybe Tom would be out of his depth.How wrong i was he beat Jacobsen/Woryna on merit and was pressured for four laps to do so.This Aussie tour he has done very well again but as you say don't expect to much but i expect him to do very well in the Championship.I hope if Eastie never move up Swindon could have first option on Tom he is a local lad and i would love it if Tom and Anders Rowe were to ride in the same Swindon team in the future.
