He did a lot better when he was at reserve and his performance is better than points tally. Plus I saw him ride more than a couple of times and none of them were at Scunthorpe lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartoszZmarzlikFan Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 5.71 exc bonus is brilliant. Hadn't ridden any of the tracks before plus he was riding with a top HL in King, Schlein or S. Worrall who've got years of experience.

Ben won at least one race away from home at every track apart from Scunny when the track was a wet mess that night apparently. I'm confident Ben will have the vast majority of 2nd strings and reserves on toast tbh. He's much better than the journey men and the rising stars imo.

Yes, that is true we didn't really 'need' to give him extra rides apart from at Edinburgh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumsie Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 I'm pleased that the boys have been given a chance to defend the title, it's a good decision by the management imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 I think people need to lower their expectations a little, Basso can be a top rider one day but it will take time, next season he will progress but he isn't being signed as a 9point rider, if he can attain a 6point average he will more than done his job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes his debut at Redcar, last first time out but on the pace....2nd time out and he wins the race by nearly a staright in wot turned out to be the fastest time of the night. Enuff said really! Emil Grondal did similar at Rye House at PL level and look how he turned out. If he scores 4 home and away then he’s done ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LagutaRacingFan Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Just watched some clips or Basso and he reminds me of a young Sayfudinov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time Emil was that age he'd already won two World under 21 championships and 3 Grand Prixs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
