ficklefan Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Thanks to Radio Fremantle for all the work they have put in to make the boradcasts happen. Really enjoyed listening in. Cheers guys Spot on there Chris, Neville Riseley has put in a huge amount of work behind the scenes to ensure that we could listen to some speedway on these cold winter mornings. Many thanks to Brendan Gledhill and the other commentators, and to the team at Radio Fremantle for upgrading to ensure this year we did not suffer the buffering bug. The station is community based, non-profit making and staffed by volunteers, making their achievements even more credible. Leigh Adams, what can you say, legend. I'm so looking forward to seeing Darcy Ward at King's Lynn this year, this boy has the potential to go all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I'd just like to reiterate the thanks to Nev and the gang for the great coverage.All the people behind the scenes and of course the people who sponsored it,so we could listen in on the other side of the world What can be read into this statement(not confirmed i think)that Leigh Adams won't be riding in Oz again after this campaign?

Seb the Snail Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 All hail the Clean One! I guess it would have been a surprise if he hadn't won, but 18 straight wins over the 3 meetings is an awesome effort. Final standings: 60 Adams 52 Holder C 48 Schlein 45 Batchelor, 43 Watt, 41 Woodward, 37 Proctor, 32 Doyle, 31 Ward, 28 Gathercole, 27 Smith, 20 Grajczonek, 17 Herne J, 17 Summers, 16 Sedgmen J, 13 Herne L, 4 Holder J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I nhave to also add my congrats to radiofremantle on an excellent online commentary and service. last year we got frustration, this year no buffering whatsoever, good clear stereo from the studio and could clearly hear commentary from the track. this must have cost a few quid to put together so well done to all involved and hopefully we can more of the same next year, albeit with a different winner! As a matter of interest, I would love to know online listening figures. Just how many people were using the online service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Ward - awesome Adams - great win from back over Holder says it all Gathercole much better than Wednesday 44 races in 2 and 3/4 hours - very slick show (125cc races went on on centre green while main track was being graded) Sidecars and 125cc support were very good announcer said Arthur Sissis was reting - is this true? (Mind you he said a lot of things that were wrong) and I've been to warmer meetings in England! PS I did resent having to pay $5 for another programme (identical to the 2 I purchased in Mildura) just to get the insert with tonight's racecard) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS I did resent having to pay $5 for another programme (identical to the 2 I purchased in Mildura) just to get the insert with tonight's racecard) Arthur is not retiring. Arthur's talent has landed him a contract with the Red Bull Rookies KTM team and he will be travelling to Europe in March to ride the 125cc KTM bike for the season. He will still be riding speedway when he returns to Australia at the end of the season. Arthur will be defending his Australian U-16 title next week at Underra, Shepparton, Victoria Good luck Arthur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior fan Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Good on Adams, sounds like a good meeting. Not much said about any of the support classes for the series, anyone have any results of 350s and juniors at any of the rounds. All the best Junior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregM Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I am currently travelling Australia, and was in Newcastle for the first meeting, and listened to the Mildura meeting. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Newcastle, and many thanks to the guys at radio Freemantle for all their hard work. Also big thanks to Johnno for the Mildura summarising. Congrats to Leigh Adams, and a better score from Glasgow's own Josh on Sat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Final standings: 60 Adams 52 Holder C 48 Schlein 45 Batchelor 43 Watt 41 Woodward 37 Proctor 32 Doyle 31 Ward 28 Gathercole 27 Smith 20 Grajczonek 17 Herne J 17 Summers 16 Sedgmen J 13 Herne L 4 Holder J Excellent performances from the two Lynn lads, considering his inexpeience Darcy exceeded all expectations while Kozza finished as the highest placed non EL (including doubling up) rider.

Bryn Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 All hail the Clean One! I guess it would have been a surprise if he hadn't won, but 18 straight wins over the 3 meetings is an awesome effort. Leigh certainly was awesome in racing to his tenth Australian national title and not all those 18 straight race wins were achieved from the gate - far from it in fact. I thoroughly enjoyed all three meetings although was disappointed that Arnie G didn't buy me a Dark 'n Stormy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
