Don't know why they're signing him on 6.40 when they could have Vissing on 6.24 - cost cutting? Leon doesn't like the track, couldn't even win a race in the under 21 final at Ashfield this year.

Think Glasgow have had enough of trying to arrange fixtures around rider's overseas commitments . Too many times it's Danish League , or Danish championship or various under 21 fixtures meaning we've had missing riders for our important fixtures 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very good in 2014 though topped Berwick averages. Edited November 14, 2023 by Fromafar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ambitious rider will look to conquer tracks they have previously struggled on. For me, on similar averages I’d take Flint over Vissing any day. There’s a lot more potential upside to Flint if it goes well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, also riders with anything about them (which Flint clearly has) will generally learn a track they aren't keen on if they are racing on it every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right for the long term but for 2024 I'd take Claus or Leon, based all the times I've seen them ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
