Trees Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) A little birdy tells me he won the meeting too Update to this is a meeting report that was posted by Howard on the yahoogroups speedway list .................... Just home from Undera & Broadford, I'll split the reports into two. On a track where the riders I spoke to all said they liked and loved racing on Undera had a really enjoyable meeting. Highlight for me was the return to the track of Mark Jones and it wouldn't have mattered to me how he went, I was just glad to see him back where I think he belongs. Turns out he won the meeting !! In the heats he had three wins from his first three outings and a third place in his last heat where he knew he was in the final and was happy to stay third after that's where he found himself after they gated. In the final it was a terrific tussle in the first attempted running between Mark (red) and Jake Anderson (yellow). There was never more than a bike length in it with Jones gating, Anderson passing Jones up the inside on lap 2 and Jones returning the compliment soon after. On turn 3 of lap 3 Anderson went in hard looking to go underneath Jones again but unfortunately came unstuck. Jones won the rerun fairly easily and to be honest the gap of two years since he last rode didn't look to have lessened his skill on a bike at all. After the meeting he said more than anything he was pleased he hadn't forgotten how to pass (referring to the pass on Jake Anderson in the final).

kings_lynn_hun! Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 "As far as I know Mark's next meeting is a club day at Broadford in two weeks time (Nov 14th). That should be followed by another Broadford club day on Nov 29th and then the Victorian State titles on Dec 12th again at Broadford. That's the ones in Victoria I know about and will be going to but I'm not sure if he's planning on travelling north for any other meetings. Mark does know people in the UK are looking out for him, he even knew who I was talking about when I told him a certain young lady put something on the BSF about him !!" I will try and keep this thread updated as much as possible, Thanks to Lunchy on the Kings Lynn unofficial fans forum for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopper Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) Just thought id add that i was at both meetings and watched Mark ride with interest as id never seen him ride before. He looked smooth , and fast , so i presume nothing has changed, i had my lad up at the fence at Undera watching him to pick up some tips. Nice to catch up with other forum members, and would like to thank the people involved with both Undera and Broadford for a friendly weekend. Nine rides at Broadford for Robert was great experience, but came home with one buggered bike. Cheers Darrell Branford Edited November 2, 2009 by chopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, not good about the buggered bike, hope you get it sorted? Nice to see Robert got some rides whilst there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzuki star 882 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Woah, bit off topic?

Nice to see Robert got some rides whilst there. Thanks for that turns out it was just the bearing in the clutch that went, sounded like a bigend at first. Was making a horrible noice. Does anyone have full A grade points for both meetings. Cheers Chopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kings_lynn_hun! Posted November 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) Meeting was cancelled @ Broadford for Mark Jones, as not enough riders were there to ride. Next scheduled ride 2 weeks time. Mark was dissapointed that the meeting was called off @ Broadford however is now looking forward to the 29th again at Broadford and then again at Broadford the Victorian States will be held on Dec 12th. Mark is looking forward to these meetings and is enjoying being back on a bike. Edited November 17, 2009 by kings_lynn_hun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
