IronScorpion Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 6 hours ago, Marksman said: Agreed, I think Pearson will average 6+ and be nowhere near reserve. Complin will probably kick on near a 5 point average with his home form especially. Not sure about Ace after watching him last season there are better 2.00 riders out there this season. But Glasgow will be certs for the play offs imo. WHAT!!!!!!!! Riding with Harris in 3 races & against oppositions 3 heat leaders. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think you're capable of doing that? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't just have it one way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't just have it one way. Who said that? That's absolute nonsense Lisa, was pointed out he had a decent meeting. But it's a bad day when beating a prem number 1 and getting slated for it. Based on his experience 4 points is about his level, especially as had to work for his when bowes and west were gifted most of theirs by retirements! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, I never considered how much harder it should be for a number 2 to get a decent average compared to a number 4. I tend to think about who they race against, rather than finishing behind your number one making it harder to gain points. Will Pearson be at number 2 though?

Can't just have it one way. I didn’t see any comments about him being a HL - we have 3 very capable HL - lets put this into perspective - he is 18, 2 years only on a 500, was a number 6 last year and scored very well for Plymouth, he has had a very good start to his Aussie season racing against premiership and SGP riders in the Aussie title. Totally holding his own and scoring above expectations - taking some very good scalps along the way. Leave the kid alone and let him develop. If we do that he may well be a very good asset for Glasgow. And I know for a fact Poole also wanted him but he wanted Glasgow, so lets get behind him and support him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Looking at the field 4 points for Pearson is the most you could expect from a 4.1 Champ rider. So his first meetings performance is especially good. While it will be tougher stepping up to second string for the first time, the potential is there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wont be an asset for Glasgow because he's owned by Belle Vue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rew and Kurtz fell off in his heats. Although the only other rider in the field you'd possible expect him to beat was Etheridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times has he rode at Wimborne Road, and what did he score. Or are you just making it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
