Do you know whether right or left leg as obviously right leg break would require full strength to control the bike. Shame for him and his Clubs Disaster for Mulford & real bad news for Redcar. As harsh as it may sound Belle Vue shouldn't be hindered, Bailey & Edwards could be possible replacements? Get well soon Jake 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yearbyred Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Dreadful news for Jake and Redcar. Been excellent the last few weeks and extremely hard to replace on his average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coraldon Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Looks like it could be a few extra bookings for Connor Coles!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds85 Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Terrible news for Redcar and Jake. I have only been to 3 meetings this season, but each time I went you could see a lot of improvement in him. Fingers crossed he heals up 100% ready for next year and this doesn't hold up his progress... As for replacements it could be tricky finding someone on a 3.00... Danny Phillips? He seems to be doing alright for the bullets, has a bit of experience of the CL already and is local. Other options would be to give a young lad a chance such as Max Perry or Ashton Boughen, both are going well in the National League and I've seen Ashton ride at numerous Redcar second halves so he must be in and around the club/area quite a bit? Massive talent. I know Nathan Stoneman isn't coming back from his injury and I don't see Bickley returning either, so both of them are out the window.

I honestly think Jack Smith is the best option for a (temporary) replacement. If not that, then Connor Coles would be the strongest Champ guest to use when he's available. Boughen is too young & I think the Champ would be too big a step for him once he reaches 16, probably better off to take a few guest bookings with a view to finding a Champ club in 2024?

I thought Jack Smith was already signed up in the championship for some reason, but turns out he's not, I agree he would be another very good option. He's allowed to do all three leagues this year isn't he? Going to become suddenly very busy if so. I know the CL would probably be a big step up for Ashton or Max, but giving them the experience for half the season with the view of signing them on next year without them starting from square one sounds sensible to me, yes they might not score very many, but I bet they would learn a lot. Especially riding at Redcar, THE best track in the country and should get track of the year over Scunthorpe imo... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Jack Smith no where near good enough to be riding for the Aces away from home, it will be Edwards or Bailey surely, apparently Edwards, as said above 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) For those who haven’t seen it. Very best of wishes to him and what a wonderful creation air fences are. On a standard fence, that impact is career-threatening. He’ll be tender, but thanks to Poland’s finest morphine, he’ll be comfortable. https://x.com/parkmaszyn/status/1700942593960349719?s=46&t=X-fQh82nyLXPqBG4Ugqe7Q Edited September 10, 2023 by TheWellBehavedWorrall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
