Andersen 2. Bowtell 3. Kennett 4. Barker 5. Palm Toft 6. Atkins 7. Gilkes I think it's a better balance than last year although I would have liked Alfie at reserve. Also will Atkins or Gilkes be classed as the rising star? I'm guessing Atkins. Much of Plymouth's success will be on the shoulders of the two young lads at reserve though and that's always a worry, especially away from home. Neither!

BartoszZmarzlikFan Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Riding order in terms of averages. Seems solid enough to me. 1. Ed Kennet 2. Alfie Bowtell 3. Michael Palm Toft 4. Ben Barker 5. Hans Andersen 6. Dan Gilkes 7. Henry Atkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennet on inflated average if look at 2021 form, Andersen didn't look like a no.1 in championship to me, and a long tail away from home. Should improve on 2021 though so all can ask from any team is progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However like you said Plymouth may find points hard to get on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry when was I critical? I put forward an opinion based on my observations, followed by its an improvement on 2021. Isn't that what everyone does this time of year? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Home successes should be plentiful with the above team and some scraps on the road should see a play off place perfectly achievable. The team just doesn't look rock solid and if the riders don't gel well it could very much fall apart at the seams. My other hope is that its sustainable as it looks a pricey team on paper.

And if you mean he's budgeted sensibly, kept his costs down by not employing expensive tuners then good for him. Yet again we have a 'fan' wanting a rider to have super quick bikes at a time when most fans recognise the need to keep costs down. You couldn't make it up. He never seemed down on power from what I've seen , and was probably the most used guest last year ,certainly in the championship and how many times did he guest at Plymouth banging in high scores? Don't want to be a downer for Plymouth, but don't think Andersen will give the same return as Lawson would have done across a season.

Tosh1218 Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Ben Barker can be erratic but he’s a good watch every meeting plus for home meetings he’ll be refreshed from the hour journey to home meeting instead of 6 hours plus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I did read that her perked up a bit but when I saw him he wasn't race fit by a mile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
