The manager was right in this instance Surely worth a gamble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have put reserves in heat 15 before and it's not worked out. Cookie and Tom had just taken a 4-2 in heat 13 too. Plus danyon had just been passed by ruml, sign might been getting tired. Tremendous effort from danyon though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be good to see Dan, fricke and Doyle but not as exciting a lineup I was expecting Line up isn’t great. If Dan can make so can tai and Robert. Obviously can’t be bothered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe I'm saying this but for once I agree with you! Just have to wonder if the Glasgow promotion were mislead about the GB team? I know that Poole are racing Berwick on the Saturday so I can understand why certain riders weren't selected BUT Jordan Palin, seriously? If it were 7 man teams then perhaps, and I mean perhaps, Palin could have been the No.7 but in a 6 man team absolutely no way. Explains why Ruml is in the RoW team, that and the fact that Sam Ermolenko is the manager! Whilst it will be good to see Rasser again, I wonder if an Australian team with Doyle and Fricke supported by any four from Masters, Pickering, Kurtz, Batchelor, Douglas, Morris and Thomson would have proved more attractive?

Palin got 1 point at ashfield beating Connor Coles. It's very strange when we have danyon and Connor available in particular 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or have I got the wrong end of the stick somewhere? And if he does, how does he qualify? I'm a bit confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Ellis unavailable too presumably? I agree, it's a pretty underwhelming line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder if Dan, rasser and fricke weren't using it as practice for GP challenge what kind of lineup would it be. Might get some fans from belle Vue but don't envisage many other fans making the journey for it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he'd put danyon in and finished last would've probably got a lynching,(mostly from me) so think it was a correct choice.

Neila Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Yea even though team gb have new management still looks like your face has got to fit, like in rosco's era !!!

Beirao Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Team GB press release leaves Olly Allen with the hard task of justifying the GB line up, and something he fails to do in a vain attempt to distract us from test matches being little more than a revenue cash cow for his paymasters, the company that bought the Team GB franchise from the BSPL, a transaction reminiscent of Jack and the Beanstalk. Strange idea that he needs test matches to look at every rider at his disposal. All the GB guys ride in the Premiership, cant he see them there? Certainly his co manager Simon Stead, also the Sheffield manager, must see them most weeks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
