Tigerblade Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 As per the Speedway GB website.... Drew currently has a 2019 home average of 6.67, and an away one of 4.21, giving him an overall 5.50 average. This puts him 4th overall in the Tigers' averages. He was assessed at 2.00 at the start of the season, so at the moment he's trebling that at home, and doubling it away. So I'm at a loss as to how he's been a disappointment so far, especially when he's been second string for over half his meetings, and not reserve. Even his family think it's too soon for him to be second string just now. Surprisingly, our highest averaging away rider so far, also based on 2019 only, is Ty Proctor!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of them look like their heart isn't in it. Cook is a better number 1 than King and that was always going to be the case, but Kyle Bickley outscoring Kemp is not something I expected to see and Drew has, apart from the odd ride, has been a disappointment so far. The big difference for me is the comparison between Rasmus Jensen and Proctor. One looks an inspired signing, the other looks like it's turning into a disaster. 1 hour ago, Tigerblade said: As per the Speedway GB website....

Weeyin Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Disapponted that Cookie has dropped a point at home, had to happen sometime, I suppose. Really pleased that Rasmus got his first maximum and Kyle is really getting to grips with the Ashfield track. Starke back to form is very welcome. Sheffield are not a bad side, just a bit inconsistent.Drew Kemp got 9 points last time he was at Ashfield , it will take time for him to get some consistency. When all the Glasgow boys fire at the sametime, some team is going to get a beating. Despite the scoreline , there was some cracking racing, heat 14 in particular, you could have thrown a blanket over all 4 riders for full 4 laps.

Think what you saw last night will be as good as it gets from that Tigers team, Sarjeant might go to reserve ,but Bickley will be in main body.Vissing is as good as he gets ,usually tapers off. Starke can be up and down.(good team though). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
