However my assumption would be that Wright & Lawson either didn't want to be in the squad or their faces don't fit.

I know it's incredibly unlikely but if 4 riders got injured would they have to go a man short? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates Of Poole Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 I presume Poole will have Worrall and Rowe missing for the home match against Birmingham on the 26th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if they get picked for the final 5 which I'll be surprised if either of them actually will. It'll be Woffinden, Bewley, Lambert, Ellis and Brennan the 5 with Harris on Standby imo.

mikebv Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) Wright must have said that he didnt want to do it... ? Given the shape of the track, and his commitment, tenacity and hard riding style, surely he would have been a shoe in to take position four?

Col Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Bodes well with all the Danes, Janowski & Doyle struggling in last night's GP. Even Zmarzlik looked human. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric i Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 It might be Kurtz rather than Chris Holder, Chris has been injured and has only had 4 meeting this year. Denmark's 5th rider will probably be Rasmus Jensen. Sweden probably, F.Lindgren, A.Lindback K.Nilsson (if fit) O.Berntzon J.Thorsell Germany K.Huckenbeck M.Smolinski E.Riss N. Bloedorn K.

From his FB post, I’d say Wright wanted to be in the GB squad. But some have suggested his unwillingness to take part in other events involving GB has gone against him. That might be wrong but when did he last represent GB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
