JPB had massive potential as 15/16 year old...not sure he's fulfilled that...such is life and consequences of choices made. I think, if he can obtain decent equipment and knuckle down, he wont be far off in the reserves race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly has potential but you can’t afford to have a sub 3 point rider instead of Stefan Nielsen with a lack of heat leader strength it’s vital you have two super strong reserves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he doesn't want to ride in England....not sure why though? probably coz the standard is poor, for want of a better word? 3 hours ago, Racin Jason 72 said: He does want to ride in the uk but not yet. He has a team place in Poland already He is also currently signed up in Poland, Denmark and his homeland in Sweden - meaning by Polish rules, he is unable to ride in Britain even if he wanted to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljriley90 Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Just now, GiveusaB said: Morris and Shanes are too good to be reserves They have 4 averages, as does nielsen. So that gives you 3x strong reserves all year. You should be looking at 2x 6.00 men and a number 1 not pushing morris and shanes into main body 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine you are looking along the lines of vissing and gappmaier plus one other. unless LR can pull a rabbit out of the hat like Plymouth did with the Bjarne pedersen signature I really can’t see who you will get of any heat leader quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Last I heard about Claus he wouldn't come over unless had place in both leagues. That may have changed but sure that's why never came over last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morris had 1 good season few years ago but has gone backwards since, Shanes not a rider I've ever been impressed by and like you say is in the Josh bates mould 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hume and Shanes have the same average and Morris is 2 tenths less ? which makes your post not factual ? (LOL....not splitting hairs btw...) Shanes and Morris achieved this average riding on a very poor surface last season. I've studied all 3 riders close up over the last few seasons and I'll stand by my statement. (there's not much difference between the 3 of them, but I think Morris is, or has, the bigger potential and he's more controlled out of the 3...)
