Trees Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 Any scheme to help youngsters "get on" will always feel skewed because there will always be some of them "get on" more successfully than others, it's been happening in Poland for years! I still think it would work to not include their scores in team totals, they could even give the one who scores the most a bonus each meeting or have a points championship between the guys (I guess the stats will be gathered anyway). I looked through the scores of our last meeting which finished 36-54, if none of the RS points were added it would've been 34-49. The score from when we won at Ipswich would've been 42-45 instead of 44-46. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to that you may as well just have some separate demonstration races for them instead of including them in the team Bonkers idea so likely to be under serious consideration over the winter..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 What on earth has happened to Cam? Dreadful again tonight for Kent. Sad to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) Personally, I think he peaked in 2019,,,if you also look back through his career,, just when you think he has made a break through, the following year has seen a dip. His gating is extremely poor,, and even in the Championship he is against the best the Prem has to offer,, that alone would see his scoring drop. If his average drops,, he will be back in the witches colours next season no doubt. Edited July 14, 2021 by Baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 He’s never been this bad though Baldy, even in his poorer seasons! He’s never been particularly great away from Foxhall, but as Hawkins rightly pointed out, Heeps has been a superb home rider and so entertaining as well. Something just isn’t right with him. For one of the golfing “clique” to get the bullet, the Ipswich promotion must know it too. He’s a good lad is Cam, so I hope it’s just a crisis of confidence? Maybe the enforced break due to the pandemic has affected him more than most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bob at herne bay Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Dont think he is fit - shoulder injuries need time to heal - trying to ride on will not improve things and cause a loss of confidence. Riding tiht racks like Central Park won't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Think we'll see Crump finally realise that full time racing isn't for him anymore. Was a huge ask to come back & race for 2 clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 His season has been wrecked by that alarming spill at Wolves, if that hadn't occurred he'd be happily scoring points and enjoying himself I'm sure. As it is nobody would blame him if he packed it in right now. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewy Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Personally I think you can't write crump off,he's still got alot to offer, the crash at Wolverhampton was a bad one but not rider error a snapped chain caused it,and last night's off was just first bend bunching and normally if he hadn't had dodgy ribs he would of been in the rerun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Maybe it’s both? Could have hit the kerb which caused his chain to snap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
