I'm sure it's Kus too. Makes us a playoff team rather than table toppers.
-
Did he not score 12 in his first meeting? It was following that thet he lost confidence and for 2/3 years rode it like a 2nd half wobbler. Was better last year. He could at least hang on if he gated. He will never pass anyone there though unlike Ludo on a similar average. I hope it's not Kus as I don't think he is all that good and what points his does score are from his gating ability (at Brough at least). He will add zero entrtainment value to my pound.

Disappointing news as I think Richie would have made the Diamonds potential championship contenders. I'm not a great fan of Kus, if that is who is lined up, but he was slightly better at Brough last year than previously, and I have no idea who might be brought in as a 7 pointer.

Australian Gp Is Back
Chewbacca replied to Stats's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
The entire top tier over the finish line was empty, which must have meant that hadn't been available for sale. Strange, as that is prime viewing. -

Capacity was 40k for the speedway layout so that is pretty decent. -
Of course, all top riders can gate. A gating tart is one who doesn't even attempt to pass when they don't. This is Kus (at Brough at least)
-
You can see the potential in Kus but he is a bit of a gating tart at Brough. Would much prefer Richie especially on his form of his last two visits where he seemed to have learned some new lines around bends 3/4 and was passing people.
-
He'll be a world champion with that attitude
-
Great rider who could perform on all track shapes, sizes and surfaces. Very stylish too. Only met him once but seemed a thoroughly nice fella to boot. Had the most 'clipped' Kiwi iccent iver Think Murray from Flight of the Conchords

Richie and Rose makes that team championship contenders

Australian Gp Is Back
Chewbacca replied to Stats's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Just back from my Australian jaunt. The SGP was brilliant and I have have converted my daughter and son-in-law into speedway fans. They attended as total novices but enjoyed it so much that they were delighted when they heard about the 5 year deal and they intend to go every year. -
Looks like a very decent team to me, especially if Kerr comes back to his 8 point best. Look forward to the visit to Brough Park as that team has a few track specialists in it. Could make for a great meeting.
-
Well that is a challenge to the non Brough attenders. Superb top 2 signed before mid-November. Get saving guys, you are not going to want to miss young Lambert around Brough Park and your money will be needed to pay for him. This is what you asked for so no excuses. See you in March!
-
Fit four around the Worrall twins and Lindgren and I'd be happy.

Fly out on Wednesday. Can't wait! -
Good news that our nearest and dearest will be carrying on
-
Agreed. The fours qualifiers were awesome. No promoters are listening though.
-
I pay to be entertained at Brough Park. Lindgren is by far out most entertaining rider - keep

Strange that they spent a lot of money renewing the terracing if that was the case. -

Nielsen has improved at Brough Park over the season and is now using parts of the track he wouldn't go near earlier on. His 4th bend sweeps could become legendary! He certainly never gives up when behind which is always good to see. -

Chewbacca replied to StevePark's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Good meeting despite the scoreline. Aarnio has been a bargain. -
Well anyone who didn't go because a volunteer run website didn't give them the guests inside leg measurement would have missed out on two of the best races of the season and in ht14, probably the best race in the last 5 years. How would you have found out the guests in the days before the interweb? £16 well spent this evening. Great entertainment.
