mikebaker Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Shanes was labelled as a decent prospect back in 2017. Did not ride in a 2nd tier team, only as a guest. Averaged over 5 in his season at Sheffield. The following year. Edited November 15, 2022 by mikebaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 James is/ was a very skilled rider and could beat anyone at PB on his day....his below par gating and long injury list has hindered his progress. Cracking lad and wish him well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds85 Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 If the choice was shanes or Morris, who would people go for. It's a no brainer for me, but I'd love to know what the brummies fans think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be another of those "until the Swedish season starts" kind of contracts. It might even feature a guarantee that in the event of sustaining a season ending injury, the team won't be redeclared with a replacement rider, so that they don't have to feel lonely and like they've been thrown onto the scrap heap. Maybe Harris No doubt prefers midweek and does tend to move around each season in Championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to freshen things up IMO! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 On 11/15/2022 at 9:45 AM, *JJ said: According to the Sppedway Star (again), James Shanes is struggling to recover from injuries, and will cut down on his speedway racing, to concentrate on grasstrack and longtrack, so unlikely to be back. Ash Morris did not show up well last year. Better suited to another motorbike sport, grasstrack similar to Wajtknecht or Mulford. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both were injured on my visits to PB in 2022, but from seeing both for much of 2019 & 2021, Morris is the more capable Speedway rider, Shanes gating lets him down. Morris could hold his own as a second string, Shanes will never be anything more than a reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every rider can be consistent, if Morris turned his poor scores into good ones, he'd be on a 7+ ave & need to be signed as a heat leader not a second string / reserve! Average wise Morris was consistent, between 4.5 & 5 all year I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Starke was at PB almost every Wednesday I was in 2019 & 2021. Starke, Morris & Castagna swapping the 2, 3 & 6 positions as dictated by the averages would be Ok! Just need to retain the Aussie in the pink kevlars at #7. Sign up Sedgeman at #4 and find two heat leaders. Job done Edited November 19, 2022 by Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
