It could happen in the Grand Prix. Second in all the heats. Second in the semi-final. Second in the final. 18 points every round. It could happen in the old one-off World Finals too. I remember a topic coming up a while back, and I went through a programme to see if it could be done. It could. So, it's nothing new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Is Drew Kemp really our best option here? I don't know too much about him, so maybe he's better than I'm aware. This seems, basically, to be giving up and just going for experience. Possibly the right move, as we've no chance without Woffy anyway? But I see Adam Ellis is riding in the Peter Craven Memorial. Could he not be used if he's fit? Richard Lawson perhaps? Is Kemp our most promising youngster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam would probably been a good shout if not injured and untested Of those who have ridden and potentially available the likes of Lawson whilst technically better right now has no real future at that level With respect to them all there is none outside Lamber and Bewley that you would expect to score even a single point at SON level Drew therefore has to be the best choice both in terms of being set up, ready and race fit and in terms of looking to the future 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bavarian Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 ... but is Drew Kemp relly the better option? I would have gone with Harris for the SoN this year. Lambert, Harris, and Bewley as the U21, who could always replace Harris if he struggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England have some excellent prospects coming through the ranks. Invest in them and, hopefully, reap the benefit later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could knock his confidence which he may struggle to recover. Just sayin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will gain more from just being at an event of that statue, learn from the experience.No real pressure on him to score. Watch how world class riders go about their business.
