Expand When he rode for Oxford v Glasgow in the Championship he looked totally out of his depth. Zero from 4, well off the pace, only completed 2 races. There's a big gap between NDL & Championship standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I suspect you are right when it comes to the older, more established riders, they will know better than take too much notice of what is said online, but its human nature to want to know what is being said about us & I think that instinct is even stronger in the generation who have grown up with social media. I was surprised when I started helping out on Speedway Updates to get messages on my facebook from a few racers & family of riders who had obviously been reading the comments not just taking a quick look at the scores as I had expected them to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towards the end of last season he’d added a toughness to his riding. Not dirty but certainly stronger. Hopefully we see more of that next year.

Doubt if we could have done much better without a major upheaval which nobody would have wanted. If Lasse gets himself a bit more comfortable with the Armadale turns next year we could do o.k. He looked really fast at Redcar. Almost certainly good enough for top 6 and maybe even go at least as far as this year.

Bickley Expand If it is then Paco has to do more than just turn up in heat 14. The top two of Pickering and Cook would be better than Glasgow's of Basso and Harris. If Kye can make the next step up then he can be just as good as Tom Brennan in that number 3 role and it has the makings of a good team.
