MAXIMUM for Glasgow, top scored for KL last week. He is the outstanding rider in the CL and almost all of the British Finalists ride there too. Given his knowledge of the NSS, quite fancy his chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresham78 Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 I quite fancy Cook for this too but only because Lambert and Bewley aren't at 100% fitness. If those two were fully fit it would be between them I think as they're in front of Cook in terms of natural ability... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right. His own form, injuries and the quality of the field will ensure he is there about. But christ how far the British champion standard has fallen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dog Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 With the weather being so wet over the weekend, it might make the track heavier than normal and that might favour someone like King again. Schlein has a chance being a fast-gater, but you'd have to go with a top 3 of Cook, Lambert, Bewley and then its wide open for 4th. Could be a brilliant meeting with a few surprises!

The drainage is excellent, the majority of this rain will have just run off into drains, tomorrow is dry sunny day so will dry quickly. they will be watering by the afternoon probably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dog Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Really hope so, I'm near Leicester and its been non-stop for 2 days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigACE Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 I really hope it goes ahead. Needs to stop chucking down. I am in Wigan and its been none stop all day. Stays clear from the morning onwards we will be fine. Is the best track in the World after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acef Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 The meeting will be on. Dont know why people fret. The forecast tomorrow is dry. All of this rain water over the last few days will be gone and they will be watering the track by mid afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 This was taken at 8am this morning after over 48 hours of continuous rain, over 90mm. Half a mile away roads are flooded shown on BBC news last night but as you can see the track is fine. It is going to be 23 degrees and sunny today so they will be watering this afternoon. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Its Cooks to lose now although Bewley couldnt ask for a better chance to win a title earlier than expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iand Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 On 27 July 2019 at 1:35 PM, iand said: The winner of the final goes to the British GP, but would happen if R Lambert won it and qualified but say for instance Hancock is still absent from the GP's. Would the 2nd place rider in the British Final qualify or would it go to Frickle the next in line on the GP replacements list? Anyone know the answer? Won't happen now with Lambert out.

acef Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) Essentially now just a glorified premier league meeting. A truly awful line up but at the same time, a huge opportunity for Dan Bewley. You can only beat what you are given. PS all the best to Robert that’s not a pleasant injury Edited July 29, 2019 by acef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 With Robert Lambert out through injury and both Cook and Bewley carrying an injury, it will be a very open British Final. 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!

coldace Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 It could now be a truly competitive meeting. You might think it's Cook's to lose but he isn't so consistent at the NSS. Also, I think that there a good half a dozen riders who will believe they can win. Looking forward to it, just hope it's a classic for those watching on TV. I'm sure that you will see a god crowd. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scunny1 Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Auty looked far better than Cook last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
