In our little group we were all left scratching our heads why he was missed out. Personally I hope when he comes back with Workington he punishes us with a max. It wasn't one of the highest - it was *the* highest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a sneaking suspicion that it was to do with the difficulty of rearranging of meetings last season with all the overseas conflicts. But Leon will have european/world u21/23 meetings all season, just like tomorrow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickinho Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 2 hours ago, Cast1rn said: I think he's three bike failures from 2 meetings and a press and practice. Again another head scratcher? "Paul Starke is a brilliant rider when he has reliable equipment" Evidently he's still looking for reliable equipment. He started out in 2007 so he's had 17 years to find some reliable equipment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be a good possibility, especially with no Basso this season. I wonder if Basso stayed they would have kept Vissing as two Danes to work around. But then again the averages may not have worked out that way anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never have got a workable team in with both Basso and Bomber, and much though I do love Ben, Bomber came first, for me. Their combined average would have crippled the team building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Vissing was missing, then Vissing couldn't guest lol? Edited April 19 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm with everyone else Claus would've got my vote in that position, and each riders early season form only drives home that opinion Cami's logic may with for 5 of the Brits but not for all of them when you consider Flint averaged 6.42 last year but signed on 6.40, while Vissing averaged 7.07 & would've been available on 6.24. Like pretty much everyone on here, don't understand their decision & would love Claus fly round Ashfield for Workington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against Flint, but I'd love Vissing to outscore him, just so I can say I was right lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange thing a lot of people Leon was going to end up elsewhere this season.Maybe Claus was wanting too much money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without knowing the goings on behind the scenes, all we can discuss is the riders scoring / ability / reliability / potential etc. There may be a good reason he wasn't picked, but unless that's announced, all I can do is say Glasgow got it wrong (with a smile on my face) Edited April 19 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think claus had a lot more bonus points being paired with Ben most of the season whereas Leon was the stronger rider in his pairing and wouldn't have been able to accrue as many. It's all puzzling to us tiggers fans too but I hope Leon comes good by seasons end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
