Great Central Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I went along as the weather forecast for Rye v the mighty Glasgow is questionnable. I'm glad I did as it was an enjoyable match with some good racing, determination and genuine track craft. David Mason was well 'magic'! Skilfully lining up opponents to overtake, riding different lines, looking for his team mate and was the fastest rider on show. The rest of the Hackney boys did well with Ben Hopwood well worth a mention. Brandon was unfortunate to be taken out of his 4th ride when he would have faced the also learning Ryan Blackwood who looked tidy but didn't have the pace but it was probably the right decision to help ensure three league points. Ben Taylor fought all night and must be a pleasure to watch at Hi Edge every week or so. Branford too in most races. Nicki Allot was Nicki! Dean Felton tried hard for few points. I thought it was a poor crowd and the entertainment certainly deserved more. Well done both sides. Thanks for the summary. Was the result in doubt when Brandon was pulled out of his 4th ride? It is frustrating for No 6 reserve because that is the heat when they have a chance to meet a fellow reserve. Good to see David Mason getting abck to good form.

Halifaxtiger Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Got a text from Barrie this morning - he has a suspected broken foot after trapping it under the bike. At the very least it appears to be ligament damage He has to wait until the swelling goes down before it can be X rayed again and the actual situation confirmed. Real shame, because he has hit top form recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storming Norman Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 GC, 9 ahead prior to Ht 14 and also after it! Magic won Ht 15 as expected and Barrie rode well to finish 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
