eide67 Posted June 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 I know it's a numbers game, and a dates game (i.e. they had to make the changes before the averages changed on 1st June) but I'm gutted for the two lads being dropped. Jacob has shown substantial improvement this year both in his riding and his scoring, and getting a place in the Polish U-24 league shows ambition and will help him improve overall as a rider. Unfortunately it seems another team will get the benefit of that. Kyle has shown glimpses of what he could bring to the team on such a low average (home and away to Oxford and home to Redcar) and I thought would have been worth persevering with. I hope both get fixed up in the Championship soon. Welcome to Bastian Borke. I hope he will be a good and exciting rider, but however good he is he will take time to get used to the UK tracks (particularly Armadale) so I'm not expecting an immediate improvement in the team's fortunes. Looks like the management are putting all their hope in Lasse scoring big from reserve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Don’t think Jacob was dropped for his performances, he’s unfortunately gave way to the numbers game. Getting lasse to reserve was the key and we’ve managed to do just unfortunately Jacob has had to be moved on cause of this. Kyle unfortunately hasn’t been doing the job he should be as he should have the better of the 2.00 reserves in the league however he’s not. Borke seems a reasonable signing on paper I’d probably place him in a similar bracket to Knudsen when he came over and if he can chip in like that and having lasse at reserve will be a massive improvement to what we had.
