AJ is past his best- Lindback has started the season slowly, so maybe it`s a shrewd move as he has always fast bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 The fact that Polands additional squad members Dudek & Drabik would take the 1&2 positions in most countries teams shows the alarming gulf in quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 GB squad announced as Woffinden, Lambert, Cook, Bewley and Harris (on Facebook) I think the three pick themselves personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander15 Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Correct 3 for GB. No Hancock? Novratil over Wells? Kostigovs over Puodzuks or Bogdanovs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two team meetings at Belle Vue and has got 8+2 and 9 doesn't seem too bad to me. Harris' record there is not great and was only 9th in British Final there last year.

Yes but Harris has the experience abroad and you have to stick with your squad throughout, anyway Harris isn't likely to ride in the Belle Vue round, it'll be Cook, Lambert and Woffinden.

Yeah the other squad member has to be about who would go better in Russia if needed. Harris has the experience and has had a decent start to the season and is a better bet there than Worrall. He’s still unlikely to ride though unless Tai or Cook get injured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree, Russia is about making starts - I'd have Worrall over Harris in that situation as well. Don't get me wrong I like him and would still support him but think Rosco has made the wrong call. ( only 3 points tonight at Wolves as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 I'd go with Bewley over Cookie , the experience would be massive for him for the future . Craig was out of his depth last year. When he's on form he can be a cracking rider but not riding in the pl this year puts him below Bewley for me 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cheese Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Don't think it makes a huge difference whether it's Cook or Bewley tbh. They'll get the 1 ride against the USA in this round and that's it. When it comes to the final in Russia, Cook at least has the experience in Togliatti from when he qualified for the GPs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
