I'd say she has no chance of qualifying in that field even if a couple of riders drop out at short notice. At this stage in her career I would have thought she would give Worky priority. Sure she could have said she doesn't want to ride in the meeting to the German authorities. Think Huckenbeck told them he doesn't want to do any FIM Europe meetings Also, if she drops out I think she'll get a ban since FIM meetings take priority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact thinking about it, i could believe that the FIM want her at the meeting. Trying to give female riders a boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more thinking of putting Workington as top priotiry from the start, not dropping out. As i stated, similar to Huckenbeck, who before the season started told the Germans not to consider him for these meetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midget Posted May 15 Author Report Share Posted May 15 If the comets have any real ambition this year then we really need a change at reserve? I think we can carry 1 with our top 5 but we ain't going to win anything carrying them both 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She just needs to improve her gating and be a bit more forceful into the first bend 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksman Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 The team is doing just fine, Up until the Poole meeting we'd won 60% of all official heats ridden (7 meetings), having 2 Number 1 riders helps. Sam seems to be able to get in front from time to and then ride the wrong line, just learning Edinburgh's reserves are similiar to ours so lets see how they get on against them on Saturday Speedway isn't really a cutthroat sport anyways 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJC Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 From the declared team the only one riding under their average is the one everyone expected to struggle at the start. Winning at home is what really matters in the first year, this side was predicted to take some hidings on the road and not many will come from Poole without it looking like a battering, Cook has been good for double figures all season and if he'd have hit the norm it wouldn't have looked so bad. Don't think there is a need to panic for Workington. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 In reality there is only Hodder and James performing "worse" in the reserve positions and Atkins overall if its based purely on averages at this stage and ignoring teams raced, home vs away bias and bad luck etc. The fixtures where the 1-5 can continue to dominate will save plenty of blushes but if there are any close losses with the reserves scoring poorly the calls for changes will get louder.
