Not Ellis, he has not been great this season and he wont be suited by the track in my opinion, Harris should ride all day long 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) Don’t really think it matter who GB put out as the last 2 picks all will score as poorly as each other anyway. Always going to be a 3 man team of riders capable of scoring points. Edited July 21, 2023 by Mr Blobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 So Chris Harris has 2 point higher average than Brennan in championship and 1.5 higher average in Premiership. He has wealth of experience and doesn't buckle under pressure. How can anyone justify Brennan being a better rider? OK neither rider is world class but Simon stead should be picking the current best riders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r8gdp Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 GB need to make sure they win on Tuesday don’t want to be going into play off round with what could be Denmark or Australia Poland to be too strong in the final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he'd have got near the squad if he wasn't the manager How many team managers still ride in the Polish Extraleague? Pedersen is clearly one of the top 5 Dane's, manager or not! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in the old conference league? He took the job as a back up incase he wasn’t fit enough after the big crash, should be one of the other for me. would love to see him go out and score a hat full of points but I can’t see it, plus it doesn’t show much faith in the rest of the squad if he thinks he has to go and do it! just my opinion and plenty will disagree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJC Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Also, Having caught up on the Polish action from last night, will Woffy be able to ride after appearing to dump tackle an away fan and rumoured to have broken their arm? can’t see that going unpunished even if the fan shouldn’t have been near the track. video on socials doesn’t look great 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danish riders' ranking in Ekstraliga 3. Leon Madsen; 2,371 8. Anders Thomsen; 2,213 12. Mikkel Michelsen; 2,078 15. Nicki Pedersen; 1,962 Rasmus Jensen is the 5th rider in the Danish team , but doesnt seem to do Ekstraliga. Outside these two there are Iversen and Mads Hansen, but I definitely would pick Nicki over those two. https://speedwayekstraliga.pl/statystyki/lista-klasyfikacyjna/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, Kolodziej rider there too and his average is higher than all but 2 of the Polish team but I’d be equally as surprised to see him in the final 5. Nicki is doing ok in the Polish league pretty average in Denmark and picking up quite a few more exclusions than usual from overriding. 1 from 4 with 3 exclusions in his last meeting? Did well the one before but another fall in that.An exclusion and a 0 in his last meeting in DK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well have to agree to disagree regarding him being manager, I see no reason why he can't do both (as long as he has an assistant with him on the day).
