Diamonds85 Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Always put out decent sides, on paper anyway. Can't imagine Nathan Ablitt will be back and Jake Mulford signing for Redcar on a Friday means he won't be back either I'm guessing? I say them two out, and Bailey and a 2.00er in. Keep the rest the same. 1. Jack Smith 2. Sam McGurk 3. Harry McGurk 4. Archie Freeman 5. Connor Bailey 6. Freddie Hodder 7. Jack Shimelt?? Luke Harrison?? I'm pretty sure this just fits although I don't have the averages on my phone (bored at work on my break ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure this just fits although I don't have the averages on my phone (bored at work on my break ) No such thing as an NDL 2.00er (or at least not this year) the difference between the number 7 choice is the difference between a strong play off side and another team that gets consistent away maulings. As ever though plenty of home track experts that are already well dialled in at NSS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Archie has been mentioned on being in the new comets team, and I would like to have Luke Harrison in the comets team as well, but I will be happy just to have the comets back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 If Belle Vues choice to release riders then its a strange one with so few home meetings keeping riders who went well last year would have made more sense. A few notable names from Mildenhall not fixed up yet so could be heading the Colts way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All riders are self employed regardless of who's asset they are if they decide to ride elsewhere there is nothing the parent club can do about it . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree but few riders opt away from the best race track in the country. Yes moving helps rider progression etc and of course a quick firm offer is hard to turn down.

Can't imagine why a young rider who wants to develop would want to leave the so called best track in the country that runs limited meetings and is not readily available for practice at anytime . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac101 Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 young riders are learning that moving to different tracks help them really improve you have to learn all types of tracks rather than being a one track pony 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillwhitewasmad Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 With the increased speculation regarding commonwealth riders in the NDL would it be likely that the colts use James Pearson in their line up along with Sam Hagon, Jack Smith, Freddie Hodder, Jack Shimelt.

Maybe that's what the unusual delay is in announcing the team, they wanted the commonwealth rider rule confirmed before they announced Pearson? Belle Vue are usually one of the first to declare at least some riders aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloom89 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Hope the standard of the NDL doesn't get too strong otherwise they'll drop the limit like the championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
