LagutaRacingFan Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Chris Harris would have been a better option. Experience is key in these pressure events. Bomber is also a proud Brit, he would put it all on the line. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 What is the point of taking Harris, he would only be having 1 ride each day as Bewley will be taking the majority so might as well take Kemp. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do both seniors have to have at least one ride or can Bewley replace Kemp in every heat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could knock his confidence which he may struggle to recover. Just sayin'. Anything Drew scores, if anything will be a bonus, everything to gain and nothing to lose in my opinion, Just sayin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Doesn't matter what the question is - Harris is no longer the answer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Clemens Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Kemp should get his chance. The opportunity to take his game to another level. He says he wants to 'be there'. He can 'get there' in this tournament. If youth is the future they have to start somewhere, Go for it Drew!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed BSI for a refund after being contacted by them stating my tickets would be valid for next season, if i want a refund by October 31st contact them, still nothing and that was weeks ago.

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. HOW (see what I did there?) do you know that? He is likely to be comfortably last in whatever races he takes part in....that will help him at this level how?

I imagine Bewley takes all the rides anyway so the third team member might as well be someone who benefits from the experience, as will Bewley. Might even get to have a pop at some of the U21 riders as we look prime candidates to be on the end of that tactic. Such a shame Woffinden is injured as I genuinely thought we had a good chance. Hopefully in the not too distant future we'll be able to adequately replace him. As someone mentioned earlier Adam Ellis might have been worth a punt but not fair on the lad when he's been injured.

I can see your point of view Philip regarding experience for the likes of Kemp, but just a example, i remember attending the U21 at Kings Lynn in2016. Zach Wajtknecht was half a straight behind the 3rd place rider! that cant do your confidence any good at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that not have been the same for Adam Ellis, who is much closer to appoint in his career where he might benefit from the experience? Riders like Ellis and Steve Worrall have indicated that they are able to perform well at this level. I think it's riders like that which should have been given an opportunity here, and at least they might have been in contention for a place when riding.

HGould Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Think the point you are missing is that GB have a "Squad". A senior Squad and an Academy Squad. Adam Ellis and Charles Wright are in the senior Squad (with Tai / Lambert / Bewley (who is in both) but Worralls, Bomber and Lawson aren't. The Academy Squad includes likes of Kemp, Brennan, Palin, Gilkes;Flint;Edwards, Rowe; Bickley etc . So to bring in Bomber / Worralls / Lawson would have been same as Southgate calling a footballer in to his 22 man Squad and straight in to team. Kemp and Palin have been given U21 slots and Lambert, Bewley have main slots after Tai's injury 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible that Ellis is still not 100% although it looks like he is doing Peter Craven Meeting,but IMO the 2 Worrell’s or Ellis would have been a better choice as the 2nd rider.What we don’t know though is who was asked!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesR Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Lets hope that Tai continues to lend Bewley his bikes as he has for the Polish Play Off finals. bewley scored a lot of points on them, which really showed that he needs to upgrade his motors, and he was growing in confidence every ride.

Ellis may not be fully fit, but if he is I would have gone for him as Wright is presumably not available this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s more about set-ups than equipment .Woffys crew know a lot more than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
