Wolfsbane Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Nigel Pearson has morphed into Tony Millard ' Possibly the best rider never to have won the world championship, Lee Richardson '. He was talking about Leigh Adams....I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was talking about Leigh Adams....I hope <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And I do believe he used that phrase twice at Cardiff.

marko Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Swindon are not getting enough home advantage so they are watering the track just before their races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 What a shambles. Where did they get that watering can on wheels from? It's next to useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subedei Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 dull as dishwater <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Steady on, dishwater's not that bad. Okay, so the Cardiff track gets laid (has more luck than me, but I digress) in 3-4 days, but what's Swindon's excuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahuna Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 It is pretty boring, but I think its down to the format more than anything. They were saying before that coming 2nd and 3rd is in a way better than winning as it is a team event - so why then do they let through belle vue because they won more races? Their pair was crumpy out front all the time, steady scoring only 5 points! Hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer X Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Poole 21 Belle Vue 21 so they decide who goes through how exactly? Is it when the two teams met? Is it the amount of times a pair didn't finish last (which is the aim of the pairs event?) NO it's flippin race wins!!!!!!!!!!!! How stupid is that? What a dumb format - somebody really has to revamp this event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 How long did it take Pearson to realise that it didn't matter what Peterboro' did in their last outing either Eastbourne or Swindon were going to get more points? Poole hard done by imo. Should have gone down to who won their head to head with the Aces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony159 Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 What a joke !!!!!!!!!!!! A place in the final of a best team competition being decided by ............... The most race wins by an individual rider !!!!!!!!!! Cant believe even Speedway could make up a rule like that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisB Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Poole hard done by imo. Should have gone down to who won their head to head with the Aces. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Exactly, by rewarding the team with the most wins clearly benefits the team with the strongest INDIVIDUAL rider as against Poole who as a PAIR scored as many points as Belle Vue but BEAT them when they met!!!!

Racer X Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Congrats Belle Vue - at least they half rode as a pair... Why on earth did Leigh Adams clear off? If his partner was at the back that was never going to work. Also - what a cock up by Rosco putting Ulamek off 1. The rider off 1 would be blocked if that was Leigh then he may have driven the Aces off the line to have allowed Ulamek thorugh. I dunno maybe I'm seeing this one all wrong?

Bud White Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Glad i'm not the only one who thought the most heats wins was a bizarre ruling in a pairs competetion! With two lasts to Poole's none I thought BV were sure to miss out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
