Bagpuss Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 2 hours ago, PhilTheAce said: So palin would have rode in Poland yesterday if it wasn’t rained off. jenkins who was injured ride in Poland. As harsh as it sounds surely they were withholding there services Monday in what was an official British meeting. this is what makes having a RS in the event a shambles. They will choose to ride in Poland over this where they will get paid more and have more rides. They seem to have just copied the SoN with the reserve idea and it's unnecessary IMO. I despise guests but in the case of Palin I suspect he got permission to miss Monday and to be honest it's common sense for him to stay out there rather than come back for one heat. The Jenkins one is a bit more fishy but at the end of the day we want our youngsters racing in Europe as much as possible so I wouldn't want to see it discouraged.

AvBvCvD. EvFvAvD. EvFvBvC. Even if their scores were not added to the Team total, you could have Team RS Champion if you added the 6 events together. That may be the best idea, adding the scores to teams total. Means there's a reason for the RS being in attendance, there in case of injuries to top 2, but also get 3 races, so not travelling for just one ride! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilkes would have been the choice when Palin was granted release. Jenkins only replaced Gilkes very recently and was likely committed to the Polish gig when signing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit fishy for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you add those individual scores to the team totals, then it's not a Pairs event ... not that it is anyway, with a third rider *having* to take a ride.

Why are you surprised?We all know he's not that great around Foxhall and as you can pick any of your top 4 they have gone for the pair who they think can win it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 He is supposedly a world class rider, so should be able to ride all sorts of tracks. I know you can pick any of your top four but would like to see the top two from each team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the teams have actually gone with their top two.Assuming the are naming their teams who they think can win it,that's the name of the game.Wouldn't you rather see the riders who normally do ok at Foxhall so should make it a closer meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should've been Howarth and Ellis I think as we don't know Holder's form as he doesn't ride at Foxhall any more it seems Edited June 13, 2022 by SPEEDY69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he should but he's a GP rider and presumably earns a fortune in Poland so I don't expect he's particularly fussed about having difficulty at Foxhall or Monmore, in the grand scheme of his career it's neither here nor there really. And I'm no Jack Holder fan BTW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 11+1 in the League cup back in April. Was on a paid max until Doyle asked him nicely to move over in heat 15 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
