Well done the Bears best team won today, you caught us vulnerable and ruthlessly exposed our frailties.
It is notable just how much Jody Scott has progressed since his 4 from 4 for the Bears last season after replacing Tom Spencer in the Bears septet. He has an able ally at reserve in Ace Pijper and it was the 17 points from these two that won the meeting for the Bears. Somewhat surprisingly Jake Allen decided to turn in his best meeting at Northside, same rider only scored 3 points over two meetings for the Scorpions last season, must be the magic Bears race jacket that does it. Nicolai seems to save his absolute best for Northside, his race with Jonas in heat 15 was a bit special. Jonas has impressed with how he treats his racing and just what a fierce competitor he is, an absolutely joy to watch.
Real shame we haven't managed to qualify for the semi finals after the hard fought victory at Scunny last night.
Special mention to Steve Lawson, great track prep, with a moisture content that facilitated a high standard of racing throughout without any noticeable dust. 👍
