STEVEHOLS54 Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Any thoughts on what is going on with Drew Kemp ?? Started season well with both Poole & Wolves but suddenly his form has fallen off a cliff and his scores for both have been poor last week or two and also didn't do well at the World U21 meeting at the weekend either with only 4 points. from 5 rides. Started this season like the rider who was finally realising his early potential after 4 seasons of riding in all 3 leagues, but do admit a little worried whats going on with his form some 3 months short of being 20. The point being that fully expected Ablitt to be getting us almost zero each meting as a just turned 18 year old in only his third season (discounting wiped out 2021), but we can ill afford carrying two reserves producing little. Its early doors I know but again our top 3 we are getting inconsistencies as all 3 not always firing (especially away) and Kemp's initial start to the season was decent. He is at Wolves tonight but Ipswich have decent reserves and another zero to two score wont do confidence any good. Hope the drop in form is temporary or we could struggle a bit, especially away.

Let's hope they can find and sort what it is. An on form Drew like the one who started he season is a big plus at reserve, especially when Nathan is finding his feet. Fortunately its still very early season so plenty of time to hopefully put right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he's scored 3 and 2+1 including overtaking Danny King before some first bend bunching put him in the fence at Wolves tonight!! Fingers crossed he's OK.

Same as if any other team were to win it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always goes well there and I would expect him to probably have 7 rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big gamble with the pressure put on your other 4 riders to up their game/averages. Your top 3 are unlikely to improve so to be successful it's the other 4 that have to improve!............ No pressure then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pressure then. Tbh if the top 3 all get 10 then the other 4 only need 16 for a win, so 4 each. But seeing as Nathan's average is 2, if he gets that, the other 3 just need to get 5 each. I don't think that is too much pressure. They are all capable of it and tbh they prob target to get more than that each meeting anyway!

No pressure then. No pressure at all. We did the Double last year in the same position. This year we will do the Treble plus the Riders' Championship coz we are the Pirates, simples. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
