They are allowed to leave and return if given an exemption for work/business/funerals etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 1. Nick morris 2. Danyon hume 3. Kyle howarth 4. Ty Proctor 5. Ryan douglas 6. Dan thompson 7. Joe Thompson 38 point limit with a u21 brit at number 7... would be my prediction based on rumour how the teams will be set up and how much room there is left (for danyon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here goes....SOME options.....meaning two out of the above three? Logic would mean the only one still available to go with due to AGM changes is Anders Rowe. Which probably means it won't be anything of the sort!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fit JB would seem to be the better option and he certainly knows the quickest way around the track. He is after all the track record holder. Connor Mountain would also be fine although his starting average would be lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 BarrowBoy2- The slight concern over Josh Bates is him being able to stay on the bike and fit. With the team setup if he was out injured it would only leave the twins and Ty able to take a ride. As is normal in the winter plans change a few times as riders become available that were not originally able to be considered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 There has never been any doubt that Josh Bates can ride a Speedway bike and ride it fast. The number of falls and injuries and attitude strops though would be the main concern. I also recall reading an article in the Speedway Star where his comment was, he doesn't mind if he gets hurt , as speedway is all he wants to do. Wish him well and hopefully he can fulfil his undoubted potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His commitment should never be questioned, but whilst he doesn't mind getting hurt, the other three riders in the race might have something to say about that! He will always be a risk until Dickson puts some glue on his a*se! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Yes.....Broc Nicol will probably agree with you there. The most reckless piece of riding I have seen at Leicester and it makes it easier to know I won't be there to see him ride again.

He is a danger on the track,his lack of control is worrying.He won’t go a season without injury IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reference is to the the time he broke his back snow sledging down a hill. He is however a great tryer on the speedway track, who like many before him would benefit from learning where to take risks and where not too. That said, lets hope it doesn't lead him to become "just a rider" and that he remains a racer...just a safer one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
