Do Riders 'manipulate' Their Averages To Get A Ride?
Fromafar replied to Gresham's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Agree,in speedway these days they are going that fast and the tracks are that slick that the majority of the time putting in a lot of effort has very little reward unless the rider in front makes a mistake ,I can see the point of taking what's on offer without maximum effort and just move on to next race and hope you make a "gate" -
Do Riders 'manipulate' Their Averages To Get A Ride?
Fromafar replied to Gresham's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I admit I'm cynical but I agree with your point regarding riders keeping themselves safe thinking about their next meeting.They can be riding 3-4 times a week these days and don't want injured.They don't "battle" for very point. -

A lot of Teams wouldn't touch Barker with a barge pole these days.

Belle Vue V Swindon Friday 19th May
Fromafar replied to STEPHEN 333's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Would imagine 10pts in Premiership worth a fair bit money than same number in Championship and there is not a huge gulf in Leagues.So for me it's where he earns more money. -
Is There A Need For Guest Riders?
Fromafar replied to steve roberts's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
They have completely lost the plot on Double up/double down,missing riders and riders riding in 3 leagues ,they can't invent enough rules to cover it satisfactorily . -

Is There A Need For Guest Riders?
Fromafar replied to steve roberts's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
The Promoters are still wondering where the crowds have gone. -
I agree with you its all about set-ups to suit track conditions.500cc is plenty enough power for a speedway track.

Belle Vue V Swindon Friday 19th May
Fromafar replied to STEPHEN 333's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I remember the Sheffield guy who had a lot of assets but his name escapes me .Malcolm Wright?im sure Sheffield forum members could answer though.Thought David Walsh was one! -
He is just playing a game and winding people up,he couldn't care a toss about anybody else,a week-end away with him isn't going to make one bit of difference to British speedway.

Warsaw Gp 13th May 2017
Fromafar replied to james1234's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Holder seems to be a loss to explain why he is going so poorly at start of GP's .Not a good sign. -
Do you not think a lot of riders are just "looking after themselves" as they are riding 2/3 times a week in various Countries a picking up steady earnings .Not risking too much in case of injury.
