HGould Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Riss is excellent round tight technical tracks, he has one in his back garden. Pragmatically, not a speedway trait I know, until Covatti is fit could Plymouth use Riss and switch any clashes he has to Tuesday nights. At least they'd be competitive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petecc Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Just seen pictures of the track work at Plymouth, Covatti could be fit before the track drys out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 According to the SS this week, Eddie Kennett is still a possibility!! He was at the Eastbourne social last weekend with Kyle Newman and confirmed he has not retired and is 'just waiting for the phone to ring'!!!

topaz325 Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 “I decided I did not want to do the Championship in the UK in 2024 as the travelling is too much between here and Poland every weekend, but I did want to do the Premiership still. I guess because of my illness last year I underperformed so no one made an offer or wanted to take a chance but I am willing and able to come back if needed. So with the quality in the line-up for the Ben Fund meeting I can hopefully remind a few promotors what a fully fit Erik Riss is capable of.

Of course the factor that also needs taking account is it depends whose doing the asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleased to hear Eddie is fully fit after his injury he received riding for Plymouth a couple of seasons ago. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds85 Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 I'd be throwing everything I could at Adam Ellis personally. And if he doesn't fit I'd drop Jacob Hook (I know it's harsh) for a 2 or 3 pointer, whatever fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky_Mark Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Any other PL riders that could double down? As you say they do have 2 strong reserves and could swap one for a 2 pointer. Would be harsh but can’t run without a number 1. Have no idea on averages, availability or affordability but maybe one of the following? Holder Tungate Becker Basso Tarasenko Wojdylo Ellis Rew Lidsey Blodorn  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky_Mark Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Is a fully fit Eddie Kennett such a bad option in a watered down league? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
