Academy League Final


Recommended Posts

No offence to the under 15's riders who did a lot better then expected but who ever came up with the heat format must of been drunk at the time.

 

Why do the number 1 riders get 4 rides where as the number 5 riders get only 2 rides. Heats 1 & 3 and 4 & 7 are exactly the same and rider number 5 get his first ride when others have already had 2 rides.

 

Plus one reserve can be used by either team, so last night the Buffalo's decided to bring the reserve in to replace one of their riders in heat 7 but Ben Thompson couldn't get his bike started, in this situation a reserve should of come in to replace him but they couldn't because the other team was already using the reserve so had to go with 1 rider only!

 

Brendan,the explanation was that you caused the riders behind you to take evasive action,one of whom fell.

 

He had already fallen by the time you did your donut.

 

No it was great skill from the young lad, laying it down as soon as he realised the rider in front was in trouble.

It was great to watch the juniors. They all seemed to enjoy winning, while showing great disapointment when lossing but they ALWAYS had time for the opposition and congratulated them. They conducted themselves well IMO.

 

Highlight of the Under 15 for me was George Pipers tantrum when he fell off and got 5-0'd, when he's old enough I want him to ride for Newport if he is that keen to win. With a will to win lke that he should go a long way.
