Saw someone on twitter say he should be in the GPs. You think you’ve seen it all then that comes up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZagarRacing Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Could see him at Swindon if Lampart doesn’t improve and averages drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False dawn Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Josh is an exciting prospect. If you'd have seen his sublime pass on Michael Palm Toft on bends 3&4 in the Leicester vs Redcar match on 30th March, you'd know what I mean (shame the race subsequently stopped, but he did win the rerun). He's a level headed lad and knows that a couple of good meetings following a season off doesn't mean he's going to rule the world. But watch out. This a rider with a real future.

Big Al Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 On the track he's matured beyond recognition. Can't comment about off-track but would like to think he's improving in that area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I could have passed MPT that night Michael Palm Toft - R, 1', R, T/(NG - 0) = 1+1 Heard it all before about many riders... Jason Garrity being the last, where is he now?

It appears that all we are going to be told is that ''he's a nutter'' and ''has the Samaritans on speed dial.'' All I see is that he's a very exciting speedway rider to watch, happy to chat to his fans, is a crowd pleaser and always appears professional in his approach. Can't please 'em all!!!!

Will always split opinions, he's just one of those riders. Personally i don't count extreme sledging & naked face down snow angels as a professional approach but as i said just an opinion. He could easily put all that behind him and go on to have a very solid career if not he will just join the heap of riders who had the ability and never got close to their true potential.

SPEEDY69 Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Whether true or not I do have the opinion that he is a rider who falls off a lot/injury prone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neb Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 I would label josh bates a character and maybe we need a few more like josh to make our sport a little more interesting, love him or hate him you certainly get your moneys worth when he's on track. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
