AceBelle Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 (edited) challenging test for Aces to get bonus point? achievable yes if all are on form ? Will Harris ride with the bad knee ? Who will be Aces reserves? also Aces have 4 riders in Poland today kurtz blodorn lidsey cook hope the flights are ok ?

Hilly Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 (edited) With Oxford making every effort to avoid the play offs, an easy home win on the cards for me Edited July 21 by Hilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Ace Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 I think we will still win the bonus but will go down to the last heat. looking forward to getting back to some team action. Been a while. assume this will be the final test for vuolas. If he scores well im sure he will be signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceBelle Posted July 21 Author Report Share Posted July 21 Who's knocking 4 riders ?? just a point of view it is a weak reserve pairing for both teams who have been stronger in the past !! as riders getting disillusioned It's a tough sport i have nothing but respect for riders take a chill pill and relax 6 minutes ago, Triple.H. said: Instead of knocking the four young men riding at reserve, why not watch the meeting and post your thoughts, good, bad or indifferent then It's no wonder so many youngsters get disillusioned after a few seasons of riding. 6 minutes ago, Triple.H. said: Instead of knocking the four young men riding at reserve, why not watch the meeting and post your thoughts, good, bad or indifferent then It's no wonder so many youngsters get disillusioned after a few seasons of riding.

If you are only going to give reserve signings two matches to impress then you have big issues. Vuolas is talented, shows it at comets, showed it at SON. You'll struggle to find better than him but if this is his "final chance" then it's your loss. He doesn't have the experience around a lot of the tracks but he's a quick learner.

I don't think you understand the rules. After completing 75% of fixtures, no team changes can be made. Once Oxford race tomorrow, they can't change their team. Similarly Belle Vue have only the next 7 days to secure their nos.6 & 7. After next Monday's meeting, they can't make a change. That's why people are saying there is a "last chance" to impress teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt about that. but Bellego is better and an option and PHB is available and probably better. that’s not to say I’d be unhappy with anti. Because I wouldnt be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if Bellego had any interest in riding here, he'd already be here. And if you think they can afford Hellstrom-Bangs, you're living in cloud cuckoo land,. The points money he'd want at reserve, plus a signing-on fee for a couple of months, plus the cost of a van, plus the cost of getting bikes over here, and the cost of hiring a mechanic etc etc. Well out of budget to effectively replace Connor Mountain.

I actually don’t think we will sign anyone anyway. Just keep using vuolas as a guest and then when needs be pick and choose the guests for that specific track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also clearly why the sport isn't taken seriously in the UK... Bringing in Lambert to replace Fricke is seen as a "bad thing", yet not having a full team of your own riders, and, instead, cherry picking riders from other teams on a "horses for courses" basis, to give your team a better chance of winning, is "absolutely fine"... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 Think it should be really close for the bonus point. If the Aces top 5 ride to the best of their ability at the NSS should get the bonus. Don't think they can afford any to have an off day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
