Tommy Allen rode well in last years pairs and Ben Barker is riding out his skin at present . Kozza Smith will love the wide OTA bends and of course Tai Woffinden is emerging as the rider in the PL . Should be a cracking meeting with Doyle and Woffinden the clear favourites . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Najjer Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 From a Somerset's fan point of view, and a neutral's also, it's a cracking lineup. They aren't just all the big names, but from all of those that have ridden at the Oak Tree Arena they have all gone well and will provide us with some great entertainment I expect. Tai Woffinden, Emil 'The King' Kramer, Jason Doyle and Jordan Frampton in the last race should be a cracker, and decide the winner on the night I would of thought. Although I wouldn't count out Simon Walker from winning this. Be interesting to see hiw Linus Eklof (under advice of Magnus Zetterstrom) goes, alongwith Shaun Harmatiuk against Premier League opposition and also Kozza Smith who I have yet to see race but he is reaping praise from Lynn fans left right and centre Not to mention Jerran Hart and Jack Roberts who have both ridden very well this season at the Oak Tree Arena already, plus Joe Haines who has been flying with Workington this year. Tommy Allen normally also goes well here. Ben Barker was great entertainment in the Stoke meeting earlier in the year - so if all that is anything to go by, should be a great meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danzell Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 And now it seems Kozza Smith has withdrawn, no idea why though. Think you'll find he is riding in Germany on Sunday at the U21 team cup or whatever it is, think he's replacing Batchelor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's meant to be guesting for Redcar Sat night and riding for King's Lynn at Newcastle on Sunday night!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
