Think if you watch the stream you will see that Nichols never moves till the tapes went up but TJ is that slow to react that it looks like a flyer for Scott.
Certainly makes Birmingham on Wed a vital fixture to stay in top 6.I reckon Edinburgh if they get their 2 heatleaders back would be favourites for the last place in play offs.Think Cook might have went AWOL though with the silence about him.
Atkins was very impressive,stylish and in control after his 1st ride.
ps
was there just a little extra dirt on the track or was it the weather like was made out ,not sure.!!!!
That was poor all round from Bandits.Oxford lost their 3rd heat on the first bend and it was still not a last heat decider.Deary Me.Don’t think even the most ardent Bandits fan think Nichols and Masters would have been on the wrong end of a 5/1 if it had mattered.
Why is everyone doubting Erik’s health.You don’t honesty believe he would ride if he wasn’t right.He might have a race fitness issue but think he would pull out if it was health issue.
Anytime I’ve been to Ashfield there had always been some decent racing irrespective of the score line, ranks up there with Redcar and Scunny as real racing tracks
