It is a PAIRS event!

What is the point of a teams no1 going out & winning all his races if his partner finishes last.

That could happen is every kind of speedway World championship.

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.

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?

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

BEWLEY can take extra rides... had a good meeting in Poland last week

I disagree the SON looks much weaker this year & there's certainly a possibility that Lawson or the Worralls could've picked up points, especially against U-21 riders!

... 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. 

NOTHING to gain by having Harris there. Look to the future. England have some excellent prospects coming through the ranks. Invest in them and, hopefully, reap the benefit later.

What about the opposite effect if Drew scores 0 in both meetings?  Could knock his confidence which he may struggle to recover.  Just sayin'.

DOUBT it. 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.
