Just hoping the fans get behind Danny as I feel it will be tough for him riding at 2 but the expectations should be lower 

For example 

Home To Belle Vue 

Heat 1…. Doyle Kurtz King Cook

Heat 6… Doyle Bewley King Zischke 

Heat 8… King Cook Jenkins Mulford

Heat 10 Doyle Lidsey King Blodorn 

Thats 6 points for Danny and doing his job… yes he could beat Lidsey but he could be beaten by Cook or Blodorn 

I hope true fans realise that he will have tough races at 2 and 6 or 7 points is fine not the 10 or 11 people expect

your love affair with Danny King really is a strange one.

The only question mark around the inclusion of King was his fitness. Now it’s been updated he’s had successful surgery and is on course to be 100% fit by March, then he’s absolutely worth his place in the team. One had to go from King, Ellis and Rew, a fit Danny King is better than both of them currently. Some won’t like to admit that, but the stats don’t lie.

Love affair lol 

Better rider than Ellis and Rew (currently)

Last season as heat leader you would minimum expect 4 second places …. Now he has 2 heat leaders in 3 of his races …. His scoring will go down because of that as I showed ….. thing is some fans will say he should score more at 2 than at 3….. it won’t or shouldn’t happen

King is passed his sell by date!

Give me Rew any day of the week!

We’re talking 2025 season here, not beyond. Arch is correct, King is still currently a better rider than Rew. At least here. Let’s see what King, Ellis and Rew average over the course of the season to see if the right decision was made. Time will tell on this one.

King averaged more this year than both of them whilst toiling most of the year with a broken hand! If he’s gotten that sorted, there is no question he’s the stronger rider out of the three. Hits double figures for fun around Foxhall.

6 or 7 at home

5 or 6 away 

Gotta be happy with that sort of return, wouldn't surprise me if Ellis rode at 2 with Doyle tho

 

Ellis maybe at 2 away from home

you probably repeat this line more than people actually say it.

You'd imagine it'll be Ellis at 2 partnering Doyle given that partnership early last season was a powerful one. King will be fine at 3 or 4 partnering Brennan.

Gotta say I did think it was time for a change where King is concerned. The form Rew was showing the last 8 weeks of the season was excellent and Rew also would've made us stronger away from home. Particularly at places like Belle Vue.

I’d personally put Danny at two. He won’t get in Doyle’s way and he should be successful in heat 8 home and away.

He could make the start and get in the way of Doyle …
