Flappy Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 The reality is there's plenty of 4,5,6 pointers out there. If it was a heat leader that would've been a real issue as we saw last winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren2 Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Gutted for BWD. If available Nicholls on revised 5.36 and Summers on 4.87 fits. Totals 42.45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flappy Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Andersen at reserve is only worth doing if the rider coming into the main body is good enough to at least average 6 Sundstrom 6.04 not a bad shout if he's fit and well of course Edited February 21, 2020 by Flappy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers99 Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Will the promotion want Hans at reserve, a fully fit Hans on good equipment will score 15+ with 7 rides, could be costly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that we should be trying to get a potential heat leader rather than Nicholls, who was just rubbish for the Panthers last year. Josh Auty? really.. Don't we have 6.2sh to play with, and what's being British got to do with anything. I want to cheer on riders who really try, not ones that give up after 2 laps. Krzysztof never ever gave up. Which is why I wouldn't criticise Oystercard either, even though others on here seem to dislike him as much as I dislike Nicholls. I'm also too fat to wear cool shirts or marry devastatingly beautiful women..
