What a Knob

Looks like Poole.But I tipped them last. season.Not had a bet in 2018.

Needs some tin foil for the steel shoe

Bit harsh on a Brit lad trying to break through. Not far out ^^ Poole seem to be the win at any cost team of the Prem.How dare BV decide not to use him
-
That's true.We know all the clubs are struggling, and despite what some on here say that Poole are better off this year than in the 5 previous seasons.. I think they are feeling it now,the same as every club.No shame in that at all..Lets hope the crowds at least stabilise, if not increase in 2018.

Hope you keep Holder happy

Fans or fan

Both good young riders.Kurtz edges it for me.

Ermm.I admit I'm no sports scientist,by a long shot.Everything a driver does in the car in an F1 car is logged into data.Speedway tracks vary a lot from week to week.The bikes are so basic,no computers on board,riders ride injured etc.. F1 has computers to monitor tyre pressure,downforce,driver braking,Brake balance from front to rear.Gear changes,and many more.Don't know how much you can use that with a basic bike,with no brakes,no gears.I might be way off the mark after a tipple

I agree.But desire and bottle can fade on a cold,wet winters night.Will up his ave a bit.Probably behind Kurtz for Poole.Nowhere near Doyle.
-
Its the same for every motorsport.Do none of them count then ..It's worked out from the shortest way around.You can keep on the line and be slower than the rider riding mid track.Geeez

I've seen a Go Pro of Batch practising at Lynn. Probably a slick track as practice,but if I remember right,bends was around 40mph and 65 on the straight and before BV's new track . Lynn was the fastest track in the Prem. Belle Vue - National Speedway Stadium: Track Length (m) TBC, Record set xx.xx by TBC on xx xxx xx.

That's what I heard a while back.James Sarjeant was a gift on a 2.58 for 2018. Well done the Lions.
-
Riders probably ride harder/take more risks in Poland due the the money on offer. If Poole's track is sorted, it should be a good year to be a Poole fan.
-
Sorry to hear that fella.All the best going farward.
-
Looking up then
-
Now that is close .
-
We will call it quits Stary

How will Martin Vaculik fare in the U.K.?
Bald Bloke replied to Sidney the robin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I think he will push NKI for second behind Doyle.Although Kurtz will be there abouts. -
The home straight won't be shorter.Just the run from the tapes longer at the start and the run to the line shorter. The thought in this might be that the start line at all tracks ruts up bad.At most tracks the bike isn't in a straight line for long,especially on the home straight.So by pulling the start back 10m the bikes might not be starting to turn on the ruts,creating a better entry into turn one.

Just hope the feds they take your tag curfew off before April
-
I'm sure TJ will have something to say about that one.A bit of heathy competition would be good
-
Probably an improvement over last season .I'm pretty sure someone from the club probably read's or hears what's talked about on here. Lets see how things go over the next 2 months. There must be plenty going on for Robin at the mo.Lot's to sort out I guess.

Keeping a tab on riders fitness must be a plus ? ,including a bit more banter and bonding. Healthy body, healthy mind and all that.I know you want the above.It's not going to happen every week..It seems an effort is being made at some cost no doubt.Lets see how things work out over the first month or so.
