Najjer Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) Shane Parker, Travis McGowan and Jamie Smith…. Then more recently when Somerset signed Rory Schlein, was one of the reasons I stopped going. Edit - when we turned a championship winning side into a 2nd placed side on the verge of the start of the season when we signed Henning Loof as an injury replacement.

cowboy cookie returns? Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 André Pollehn a supposed highly rated German Ipswich signed in the mid 90s. Only problem was he has highly rated on the longtrack scene couldn't turn the bike on the tight Foxhall heath track 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve roberts Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) Ian Gledhill was always regarded as a Cowley track specialist (think he got the track record on one occasion?) but when he eventuallly signed for the "Cheetahs" proved a huge disappointment and soon departed from the scene.

I'd like to be as good on a bike as 2 awkward former world champions! Probably a lot down to riders of this type along with Harris generally not being great gaters and having to ride slightly raggadly. The likes of Greg Hancock normally were gate and go on really fast bikes, so could look smooth out in front on their own.

martinmauger Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 NickiP often looks to me as if he's fighting the bike around the track "you WILL go sideways around here ! " and pulls on the bars a bit like steering a horse, where one puts slight pressure on the reins to have said nag (hopefully) turn. Weird equestrian analogies aside, NickiP is an all-action rider who I'd name in my team all day long. Doyle looks a bit tidier on the bike but hey, he makes it work....

Your quite right 4 W titles between them speaks for it's self( Doyle should really have another) I am just not an admirer of their riding styles but Harris is box office when he is on it .IMO some of the issue is their height ,Bart turns the bike inside out and looks amazing but then he is only about five foot two . Grin like Mauger (gating aside )had such smooth style that he made it look too easy . Edited November 20, 2021 by FAST GATER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example poor Baldyman is sweating on Doyle signing as a Witch Give reasons if you wish but it can just be a gut feeling with no rational justification Expand to a full nightmare 1-7 if you are a proper miserable bar steward like me Craig Cook Jason Crump Jack Holder Justin Sedgman Chris Harris Hans Andersen Josh Bates (I needed a RS ) In reply to the original post, Edward Kennett. will never forgive him for cheating whilst wearing a Coventry Bees race jacket/ bodysuit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDY69 Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 Ok, riders I would not be excited by if signed: Troy Batchelor; Craig Cook; Lewis Kerr; Jake Allen; Nick Morris; Jack Holder; Lewis Bridger; Charles Wright Just my opinion obviously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
