teaboy279 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Bit of a concern when one of our most talented young riders in Leon Flint only scores a couple of points against a field made up 2/3s unknown to me riders. Where do these other countries (outside poland) develop these youngsters to beat championship reserve level riders. Or is it simply the British tendancy to struggle on European shale and Leon would of beaten most of them on uk soil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard across Europe is better than most might expect; especially when comparing to a rider who is currently a Championship reserve. Without being disrespectful to Leon Flint, I can think of half a dozen riders in the Finnish SM-liiga match I saw at Kuusankoski on Thursday who have not ridden in England (admittedly not all Under 21), who are of a comparable or better standard.

LesR Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 All the more commendable and to think that Tom was only third choice after one of the selected riders turned down the opportunity to compete, who cited lack of racing in 2020. I would have thought any under 21 with aspirations would have jumped at the chance and gone out practicing in the UK as much as possible before the event. Looks like the future is looking bright for Tom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris116 Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 It is a shame that the speedwaygb site gives Leon Flint's score as 3 in one place and 4 in another. Having checked speedway updates, he scored 3 and appears to have suffered machine problems. Well done to Tom Brennan and better fortunes in the future to Leon.

The original tweet by SpeedwayGB also said 3 points but the BSPL report said 4 like the FIM say. Seems that wrong information has been coming from more than one source which is not a good advert for the sport but at least all the sites now have the same information.

Doubt there will be anyone from Finland, unless they and their mechanics/family with them fancy a two week quarantine period on arrival back in Finland.

f-s-p Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Timi Salonen has been named to ride, but like Muumipappa says, serious doubts of him travelling with latest covid rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
