  1. Bit of self destruct from Witches,Kemp looks like the real deal superb style and steady as a rock when pressured from Harris for 2laps took Harris all his best to pass him,How Cook never got at a tactical ride is beyond believe.Might come back to haunt Tigers.Covetti rode a great race in heat 15 to get Witches a point.
  2. It really shows up what doubling -up and Guests have done to the sport as they both increase every year it seems. Teams can't use an alternative race night nowadays because these factors on many occasions .
  3. This Lakeside situation is just a shambles,they would be as closing the doors after the cut -off date if they don't make it through.They will still be racing in Dec the way things have gone.
  4. He states he released Philips so it Ok to bring in a NL rider.So it appears you can.Like you say.Perhaps it has to be mutual though.
  5. Probably at no5 so as he could take R/r ride,which he couldn't do if he was no1.
  6. It's not Cooks fault that he was allowed to ride in the meeting they have obviously changed the qualification rules,but to compare it with Stonehewer is wide of the mark as he still rode for Workington all season in that division when he appeared in it.Well done to Cook.
  7. Agree Cook got to the GPs on merit,but has found out that he is out of his depth in the Main Event nothing wrong with that,but his social media Posts let him down IMO .He is not as good as he thinks he is and can't blame bikes all the time,fair play on his win today though,but that is his level IMO .
  8. Harris was originally in the meeting as was Elliss but withdrew because of LongtrackWTC,seemingly just in case it was rained off on Sat and rerun was on Sunday.!
  9. Yeh I agree,he straightening them up,it is notable that there is a real team ethic with riders and managers talking to each other after virtually every race,in GB riders don't even know what the match score is never mind talking to each other.
  10. What is the point of asking riders to work on their averages for next year when they might not be in your Team.
  11. The track is the most important thing to make a good meeting,far too many excuses are make when track prep is poor at a number of tracks.Its no co-incidence that natural watering by God always produces a good track.
  12. Don't fancy Handicap racing at Berwick nowadays your handicapped enough when you miss a normal gate now.
  13. A lot of the them need to go back to basics ,open the throttle when they let out the clutch.
  14. Obviously that depends on the match situation if you have a good Team Manager,he might get 7 rides if the right situation arises.
  15. Sounds like that could be a decent meeting with these guests for Witches.
  16. The majority of the riders have been going there for many seasons and still can't figure it out,that's why they are just journeymen riders trying to earn a living from a sport that can't afford them full time.
  17. Would fancy Monarchs. To win Play offs over 2 legs with the Team that have now.
  18. None of today's Promoters would even be interested in building a new track even if they were given the land.Its agood time to get out the sport for many of them.
