SPEEDY69 Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 I'm a little disappointed that Rosco didn't have a punt with Charles Wright for this, rather than his old mate Harris. He's been in good form lately. Earlier this year I bet on the Aussies so will be secretly hoping they can do something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bavarian Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Smolinski would have been first choice, but for personal reasons he has opted out of the SoN this year. His partner is expecting their first baby and Smoli has informed the German team manager Peppi Rudolph that he wants to be by her side, rather than make the long trip to Russia. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris is, to all intents and purposes, reserve anyway. Lambert will get the rides. So it might have been an opportunity to give someone some top level experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have put Lambert in the team and Bewley at reserve. I know Bewley isnt the same since his very bad injuries last year, but come next year he will be back on form. Would have been just a brilliant experience for him, that would see him all the better for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was probably his first crash since last August, the big one. Maybe having a crash will help. Yes he had problems last night afterwards, but the crash was not his fault. (Positive), he was laughing with paramedics whilst still on the track (positive) and he didn’t give up, he was trotting in the pits (positive) and he got back on to try to race (positive). Give him a winters rest (was going to use the word “break”), and his full confidence, hopefully will be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaboy279 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Obviously not so much monday night itself, but longer term having a big crash like that and all his injuries holding up can only fill the lad with confidence, which should allow him to attack the track that extra 2 or 3 percent harder. Which makes all the difference at the top level. Seems genuinely likeable and humble young man every time I ve seen him speak as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acef Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Track will be a leveller. Cook goes well here and is a trapper, always useful on a gaters track. Dont agree with taking Harris. We have to start moving past this to be quite honest. His day at this level is done and frankly we have better riders that could take it, namely Dan Bewley. Injury or not, for the experience this is the time to start blooding the younger riders, it's a golden opportunity to give them international experience but we dont, because we 'think we can win it' It drives me mad. This is the very reason we dont make progress because we take past it has beens that are stepping on the toes of the next generation and I'll never agree with it. Bomber is patriotic and I'm sure a top human who will love this opportunity but he should never have been on the plane. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber has qualified for the gp challenge on merit, so surely he is the man to take. That's my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
