Jaizer Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 14 minutes ago, Bagpuss said: Any meeting on a European track particularly representing GB is important IMO. This is one of the season's plum fixtures though so why schedule it this weekend when two of our best youngsters were bound to be away? This might be a late addition to the SEC calendar I'm not sure. Issue I have is Glasgow (and to lesser extent Poole) are trying to find guests for riders who are scoring above their average. A reverse Eddie Kennet if you will. Seen it said somewhere earlier, but why under our r/r rules are riders below Tom's average only allowed 1 ride? Why couldn't we use basso for 3 of them and ulle get the 1 as he's higher?

If we're not careful we are going to have likes of Brennan, Kemp. Palin, Flint, and others in the next wave coming through who is under 23, unavailable pretty much every weekend from May to October as more and more under 23 under 21 under 18 mickt mouse Events take place in Europe. The main Event dates should be fixed and agreed so UK fixtures can be settled but micky mouse should not take precedence over CL fixtures. Especially on Fridays when 8 teams often racing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it’s good experience for these young riders,are they going to be out of pocket money wise.? One thing for sure breaking into the big money in Poland is still well beyond them at this stage.

The Czechs Latvian and Danes though seem to be producing better 18 to 23 though currently. But of a catch 22., need Polish experience to develop but can't get in to do so. May be a few of them need to drop CL and focus on PL and European leagues? PL being Monday and Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seen to race when they have riders missing, but have blank Fridays either side of these fixtures! 6th May - Brennan & Basso missing 13th May - no fixture 20th May - Brennan missing 27th May - no fixture Edited May 20, 2022 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelinho Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Not in Possilpark, but Drumchapel hasn’t had much so far. A little damp, but not more. Forecast is compressing the rain to 6-7 at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Would make the meeting more interesting if there was 'bad blood' but okay https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/20152179.no-bad-blood-ford-basso-split-wasnt-left-best-terms/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably also assumed Brennan would get a wildcard as GB u21 champ if he didn't qualify 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
