Out of form Janowski ditto Madsen ,Swedes look weak and French and Latvians not anywhere near this 'level'....lots of bearable riders around a track he knows blindfolded slick or grippy....not good enough? Wow! underestimate Latvia and France at your peril, BIG spoilers and will take points off anyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted October 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Over a cup of tea this morning i have been thinking (difficult at my time of life ) about tactics on using the U 21 ride. Steven Goret is in my opinion the worst of the 7 U 21 riders on show, so ideally on Saturday heat 11 would be the ideal race for Brennan. France however are hardly likely to definitely use Goret in that race. It will be intesting how it pans out over the 2 days. I can foresee some blagging from teams similar to the F1 pit crews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Gusts is a very good reserve for Latvia to have, been impressed with him, it would mean quick thinking from GB when they use Brennan. do the U21 reserves have the same rule and can only be changed due to injury?

acef Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 No bias here, but it should be Bewley. That is based purely on his track knowledge. I’d also say that he has a better chemistry with Tai, it’s a pairs event and those 2 have ridden together all season long. I think even outside of that, there is very little between Rob and Dan. You could argue in favour for both of them with a reasonable case. I think Rob is the slightly stronger rider overall but I don’t think that matters because it’s at the NSS, Dans home track and a track he holds the record on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like I said before, everything Bewley has done this season around the NSS means nothing. The standard between the British Premiership & SON is night & day, chalk & cheese etc. Lambert is in the World top 10 9th in the Ekstraliga averages I would have picked Bewley a month ago but Lambert impressed me at both Torun GP's. Pretty sure (and rightly so) swung it for Stead & Allen too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welwyn Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 It was purely the partnership with Tai that made me consider Dan over Lambert. Because we know that BSI will ruin the track anyway. However, we know that the art of team riding is basically none existent in Speedway these days so that discounts that. In the end, I'd have gone with Lambert.

And he has experience at this level. Bewley doesn’t and the pressure of performing at that level could impact negatively on a young rider. As we saw last night, on track prepared for the home team, Bewley was still beaten by MPT, Scott Nicholls and Chris Harris. No disrespect to those riders, but as has been pointed out the track won’t be prepared as Belle Vue riders like it so any home track advantage will be very much reduced. Bewley didn’t win the British Final on his home track, so he’s likely to fair less well against much tougher opponents. Bewley is a great rider and given time will hopefully become one of the best riders in the world. But he isn’t there yet. it was a tough decision but Lambert is the right partner for Tai IMO. A fair common sense post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's in the top 10 in both the GPs and the best league in the world. He was top of his team's averages whereas Bewley was just about 4th. He's has had a good season but Lambert has the experience of top level events. We all know the FIM track prep virtually removes home track knowledge so Lambert is a no brainer for me To be fair, Dan was in a good team while Robert was in a rubbish team. Robert was below the top 3 Wroclaw riders in the averages as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
