Racin Jason 72

Chris gay asked both captains their opinions. If one side were prepared to ride he was going to get the meeting started however after initially being prepared to ride the Ipswich team seemed to be swayed to change their minds by their captain. I agree that rider safety is paramount but I was present last night unlike a few of the posters defending the riders. Danny king said he would have given it a go as did Richard Lawson. They should have at least tried. To not even try is inexcusable. Nobody would be complaining if they had a go and then said no. At this rate the riders won’t have a sport left in s couple of years.

I too thought it was sawdust but it was limestone dust which does a similar job. The riders should be ashamed of themselves at not trying the track after all the efforts.

They don’t want to ride. Nearly 8 and they haven’t changed while the Ipswich riders are ready to go.

He was poor at mildenhall yesterday then won his last two heats. Really should be nigh on unbeatable at that level.

Give the riders a decent track and they will perform. Seeing the puddles before the meeting you could tell there are many low spots in the track. To be fair the track is much improved from the last two years but still work to do imho

Agreed

He was brilliant at foxhall too when there was plenty of dirt. Whilst I don’t agree with Ben’s actions he witnessed pedersens spear of Jeremy as he was right behind him at the time of the accident.

Ronni rode with his weight further back so his front wheel was hardly touching the track down the straights. But soon as you hit a rut or unexpected grip you take off and become a passenger. I was there that night and I understand why Ben took revenge. It was a highly competitive meeting with frank ebdon favouring the panthers and it all ending up in court with the judge ruling in Ipswich’s favour and overturning the result

Connor Mountain was dropped due to the numbers for three changes. He has a brilliant attitude. Good equipment and always gave his all but he really struggled to get to grips with foxhall and rode much better away from home.

That’s why I enjoy neutral meetings where you can enjoy the racing for what it is without the pressure of wanting your team to win. Very difficult to judge a meeting impartially when your team are riding.

Stefan was practicing during the interval at mildenhall yesterday. Looked good to go.

Will ostergaard try and knock off covatti ???

Scunthorpe kings Lynn wolves and Poole are exempt but the others have to do as they are told.

I don’t think so in the National League. It’s very unprofessional though. When clubs decide it’s cheaper not to complete their fixtures as they would loose more money than to run it

Scott for me every time. If only for his team riding skills plus when he is behind he is very capable of passing.

IMO he is doing his job and more. It’s another member of the top 5 who is letting himself and the team down.

Heeps needs to go. Overweight and underperforming.

How heeps has lasted this long is beyond me.

He has been overweight and poor all season at Ipswich and has been very lucky to retain his position. Can’t believe wolves have persevered this long. Surely they will make a change.

I think starke is very much like Kyle Newman. On paper they always look like bargain averages but they never increase them. Thats not detracting from the fact both riders give 100% effort 100% of the time and are both entertaining

Well done the witches. Redcar 41 Ipswich 49

Ritchie Worrall !!!

Maybe he was the only rider prepared to do just six meetings before making way for drew. Knowing young riders they probably wanted a guarantee, two bikes and a Mercedes van

Awful meeting on a dreadful/dangerous track which was woefully under watered. Nick morris is correct in saying typical England. The water bowser was inadequate and frankly Mickey Mouse. In Poland and Sweden they have the right equipment to start with. A close up of the two minute clock showed it perched on a former coffee table painted red. Just looks so amateur.

Nick Morris is telling it how it is. No excuse for dust from heat one. When Kelvin was doing his track bit you could see how dry it was then.
