Statman

Sunny but quite windy

Yep, same here from the Rebels camp

No, I think what OT was referring to is fact that track was unusually slick the previous week, so that it was back to its best this week following that...the track has more often than not been excellent right from start of the season. As to keeping good staff when you have them.......your P45 on its way then???

Not quite...the meeting started wth a 4-2 for Somerset, though we would have gladly taken a 5-1!

Nope, not going to be easy at all, in fact it going to be almost impossible for Rebels to win on 1/9/2012 as per your thread heading.........especially as meeting is on 31/8/2012!

But the semi-final is against Newcastle.....

Been raining on & off at OTA this morning, but last of the predicted rain is just clearing the area........so finger's crossed predictions are correct and there's no more rain.

Don't you turn up and go home from all meetings?

The rules don't stipulate that we can only have a NL guest for Tom, we are entitled to a full guest facility, it is just that as Tom's current average is only 3.10 a NL rider is the only real option.

I'll repeat what I said on another thread where you stated the same as the above............ That's strange.....as far as I can see in that interview nowhere does Debbie say that Claus will be returning this Friday, she does say that Jesper was signed as a 28-day injury replacement (which can be extended for a further period if required) and that Claus is due back on a bike this week, but nothing specifically saying that he'll be returning on Friday.

Shouldn't Newcastle be +9? They've gained 10 points away from home (1 x 4pt win, 1 x 2pt draw, 4 x 1pt loss), and dropped just 1 point at home (1 x 2pt win)

Went over for this meeting, first thing to say that was excellently run by the folk at Blijham, nice track in a lovely location and made to feel very welcome by everyone there. Richie Worrall was superb and extremely unluckily in what turned out to be a farce of a run-off for 1st place. Everyone, including Pawlicki thought race was going to be stopped with it being at least a case of both riders back for a re-run. Pit gate opened, Worall rode went back into pit to get new front wheel as one in bike had many spokes missing and looked very bent after being run into by Pawlicki. Meanwhile Pawlicki turned round and went back to just outside pits while his pit crew swarmed around him with clutch coolers, bike stands etc to wait until Worrall returned. Then he was informed that race hadn't been stopped by referee and that it was still effectively running, so Pawlicki turned around, completed the 4 laps and took the winner's cheque. Question is...how was it that if race hadn't been stopped by referee (and to be fair no red lights came on or red flags shown), why Pawlicki wasn't excluded for a] riding wrong way round track to get back to wait outside pit gate & b] fact his mechanics appeared to touch bike while he was waiting outside pits. Plus race was still effectively 'running' but pit gate had ben opened???? Anyway apart from the bizarre ending, meeting was a good one, Tom Perry blew his best engine in afternoon practice so had to compete using his spare, but picked up points in every ride and did what was needed with a second place in his last ride to qualify for the semi-final's. Somerset fans will also be pleased to see that Alex Davies also qualified for the semi-final stages, a win in his opening ride setting him on his way, although he found points gradually harder to come by as the meeting progress. With Tom & Alex both qualifying it means that 4 Somerset riders, with Sam Masters & Kyle Newman already through from their qualifying in Germany last month, will be amongst the 32 competing in the 2 semi-final's. Finally a word about Sean Mason - from the evidence of this meeting he is worth a look at for a possible PL berth, if not this year, then next...he acquitted himself well and but for an exclusion in his final ride might well have qualified for the semi-finals as of right, or at worse been in a run-off for final spot up for grabs, and then a fall on last bend when miles ahead of Helfer in run-off for reserve berth in semi-finals denied that him place.
