Nope, can name 10 riders of any age in the squad and same with the final 5, no rule in place to have an u21 in the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(although will probably move up again in August) Just reading about them not riding together & forgot the team positions. The manager could still easily avoid putting them out together, but a good manager would get them on the same page! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I still can't understand why Wright & Lawson weren't named in a 10 man squad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan is currently 5th in the league on green sheets. Above him are riders like Fricke who I can’t see a current GB rider out performing on the UK circuits. It’s no shame to be eclipsed by riders such as this, Dan needs to keep doing what he’s doing to help the Aces into the playoffs and then it’s all to play for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his actual 2023 average based on all official fixtures has him 9th (or 10th behind Danny King if you ignore bonus points). That has to be short of expectations.

Don’t watch any other speedway as it’s so tedious and boring, I just don’t have time for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bewley at 90% is still far better than most of the alternatives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager could still easily avoid putting them out together, but a good manager would get them on the same page! A really good manager wouldn't give a toss as long as the team is winning... Andy Cole and Teddy Sheringham won a Treble without even speaking to each other for ages.... SAF never bothered trying to fix their relationship as he ensured it didn't impact the others within the squad... Turn up, do your job, go home... That is professional sport..
