ALL riders go through 'poor' patches for whatever reason and most (not all) recover from them once they isolate the issue. Tai is still in the top 6 in the world champs. don't forget... Oh and well done Adam Ellis It's also easy to forget, of course, that Robert Lambert is actually younger than Adam Ellis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellevueace Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Well done Adam Ellis fully deserved win, a good meeting overall and good performances from Nicholls, Harris, and Howarth who havent always been great around the NSS, Lambert also gave a good account of himself as he did guesting for us, hope Wright can find that form for the Aces from here on in.

A shame Lambert and Woffinden hold British fans in contempt and can’t be arsed to come over for this one. Someone asked him why he wasnt at the British Final on twitter. His reply was 'I wasnt invited'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their should be consequences for not riding in your domestic league and that’s my opinion, riders are clear to make their own choices, I don’t have a problem with any British rider riding abroad but I think they should put the U.K. ahead of other countries if circumstances or other rules suggest they are limited to how many leagues they can do. Your opinion is fine, but it's wrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 1 hour ago, Grachan said: I have no problem with having Woffinden and Lambert in the SON, and they probably give us the best chance of winning it. Having said that, picking Bewley and Ellis would definitely have a long-term benefit and might also give riders an incentive to keep riding in the UK once they hit World Class. I wouldn't normally consider going without the two GP riders, but I think we now have a couple of really useful riders and would be happy to see them represent us. I think the crowd might feel a greater attachment to them too. It would be a bold decision, but one I feel might get a lot of support. Absolutely not supported by me. I am really concerned though with Woffinden & Lambert, seriously lacking speed in the GP's but I can't see Ellis & Bewley's equipment being any better racing at that level. Put Ellis & Bewley in the SON & we finish last it may do untold damage to them & the youngsters following. Currently, Woffinden & Lambert are the rider's the youngsters should be looking up to, to be as good as if not better. Not Bewley & Ellis currently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False dawn Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 2 hours ago, chris4gillian said: Whilst I do agree with what you say in principle, if you have any intentions of winning at world level you've got to go with your two best riders and that without doubt is Tai and Lambo. Bewley and Ellis both have many years ahead of them (assuming they stay serious injury free) and their time will come. You know, it occurs to me that when we finally get a world team competition as opposed to a pairs competition, we have half a chance of fielding a competitive side again. Wow, I've lived long enough to see us in the ascendancy again, like when Ivan Mauger and Barry Briggs rode for Britain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackett Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 British Final at NSS is always an excellent spectacle. The riders obviously like the track and for the fan the action is fast and furious. Ellis was excellent last night and has been riding well in both PL and CL so fully deserved taking the titke + looked very quick. Seemed like a decent bet at 8/1 !!! Bewley was short favourite but as Crumpie said on the microphone he needs to sharpen up his gating but can't doubt his speed when he gets to the front. Impressed with Howarth who gave it a right go on the night + Charles Wright who seemed much quicker and competitive in comparison to the meetings on the TV. Nicholls and Harris both had their moments which was good to see. Disappointments on the night was Danny King who had an off night and as an Eagles fan Lawson and Kerr just a little short on the night.

Andy Smith rode a few British Finals while "Unattached" in the 90's. He may even have won one of them. Sure Woffinden won a championship at Monmore one year, it was his first visit to these shores since the start of the Ekstraliga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
