But the lineup now very accurately reflects Tai Woffinden's point that " the gulf's too wide" in terms of class, between the British League and the world stage. An incredible gulf! Bewley carrying an injury have I missed something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPD444 Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Got a dead leg last week, but he has been riding in Poland so assume it's O.K. ( not forgetting the awful injuries he sustained last year ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heathcote Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Assuming this is the normal format of first 2 to the final and next 4 for a race off Lawson and Cook straight to the Final Schlein, Wright, Bewley and King to the race off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Gutted for Robert and speedy recover. Whilst the next generation of British riders is very promising (Bewley and Lambert included) this line up is beyond poor with a mostly lower level field. Cook should blitz it even tho he is riding with an injury. Bewley let’s hope can make the final so that the future generation is represented. As for the rest none have any aspirations on the big world stage so it’s of little importance who else features in the final. It will be a great achievement for any other rider I’ve not named to be crowned British champion but will mean little else to the GP elite or foreign leagues sadly.

Agreed and why I’m routing for Dan. I want to see how he handles a GP. With the greatest of respect to Craig we know already how he performs in the series so I’m hoping he is well away from the final. Reality though is he will be there or there about. Im going purely because it’s an even field and that equates to good racing at the NSS so for me it’s all about a good quality motorsport event. In terms of significance though, its immaterial in the grander scheme and frankly one of the worst line ups I’ve seen in a British final. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly lower level field? check the line up at least 12 Premiership regulars. Admittedly the premiership is not as high a standard as it once was but this lineup is as strong as it could be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
