Phil The Ace Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 The old rivalry starts things off for both teams Sheffield will be looking at setting out a marker with a dominant display while we want to prove last year wasn’t a blip. tasty match in prospect but Sheffield have the edge. Looking forward to it. Just hope the weather plays ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideHard Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 Weather looks slightly dodgy for Thursday but hopefully changes :/ Like Phil said bit of a tense opener to start the season. That final meeting was full of drama and heated moments both teams will want to go out and prove something. Bellego and Ellis been riding a lot together the last few weeks looking forward to seeing them ride together. Dan Bewley class act can he have the same impact as Lambert did? I think how well the heat leaders score will decide the meeting. Who’s the ref? Or dare I ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Belle Vue's twitter: The starting averages are out and @DanBewley starts 2023 at No.1... but he's got some competition! Dan Bewley 8.91 Norick Blödorn 5.45 @Jaimon_lidsey 5.16 @CWR_26 6.26 @BradyKurtzBkr 8.24 (C) @TomBrennan27 4.40 Jake Mulford (RS) As that's not in average order, I'd guess that's the riding order? Despite me being told many times over the winter that Brennan would not be at reserve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still say that Brennan's 4.40 average(not a Rising Star so -25%British reduction) is for "Team Building" purposes only so his true average puts him in the 1-5.Lidsey will be at no6.

I've heard that all winter, but as the riders listed isn't in average order or alphabetical, I can only assume it's riding order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday night is British race night unless of Polish rain offs/cancellations so I presume too early for that BUT, you never know if Poland pulling their trump card early to test the water/resilience of the British ruling.

You could be right as I have just checked the new regulations & in 010.2.3 d it says that any rising star from the previous season who does not meet the rising star criteria will receive a 25% discount for the following season. It does not mention Team Building only so the last bit is probably the area which counts which is not ambiguous/interpretable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Trump card if Brennan starts season at reserve,,,,could be some big home wins ensuring a fair few bonus points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 If Lidsey rides in a warm up meeting in Poland rather than a league meeting in the UK on one of our race nights we might as well all give up and go home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustrating day of checking for updates ahead! Feel for the clubs on days like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 If Kerr starts 2023 like he ended 2022 for the Tigers, Brennan will certainly not have it all his own way at reserve. Can't really see anything but a comfortable home win. Has Lidsey ever ridden Owlerton before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
