MrMungo Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 The weather forecast on Wednesday actually looks pretty decent. Technical error perhaps? Hopefully not! Based on the first leg, I suspect the teams will line-up as: 1 James Cockle 2 Brendan Johnson 3 Lewis Kerr 4 Adam Lowe 5 Jake Knight R/R 6 Tom Stokes 7 Scott Campos 1 Cameron Heeps 2 Cameron Heeps Joe Jacobs 3 Stefan Nielsen 4 Daniel Halsey 5 Lewis Blackbird 6 Nathan Stoneman 7 Josh Bates Mildenhall have a 15 point lead from their home leg.

Daniel Smith Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Pretty tough one to call this one. Can't see our Young Stars turning over a 15 point deficit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Not too worried about the result (although I'd like to see the Starlets win) but looking forward to seeing how much the likes of Kerr, Stokes, Nielsen, Jacobs & Blackbird have improved since I last saw them ride. And of course to see some racing after almost a month! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Where do I start?????? How about Lewis Blackbird, disgraceful riding last night IMO. Rid Cockle to the fence in one heat which Cockle took a displeasure too and floored him at the pit gate & warned him he'll kill someone if he's not careful. Then came heat 9 when completely missing the start nearly pulled off Cockles fears. Diving for a gap that wasn't there and cleaning everyone out with poor Adam Lowe taking a high speed trip to the fence with a sickening bang. A few people let Blackbird know what they thought after that. Absolutely horrendous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see Blackbird do anything wrong in either heat - certainly nothing that I haven't seen many, many other riders do. In heat 9 (and I have seen a very good replay of it), Nathan Stoneman clipped the back of Blackbird's bike in a tight first corner and that sent him ramming into Lowe, nothing more. Cockle's reaction was entirely unnecessary and in sharp contrast to Blackbird's sporting gesture when they returned to the pits.

A few people let Blackbird know what they thought after that. Absolutely horrendous. Ay?? I couldn't see what Lew had done wrong when Cockle floored him tbh.Total over reaction by the so called Lynn Captain.A view that was shared by not just Mildenhall fans. As HT says.We looked at the replay that we had and what you describe is rubbish tbh.He didn't "go for a gap that wasn't there" he was clipped himself which then made him a passenger into the unfortunate Adam Lowe (who had looked the best i've ever seen him ride for that matter) But anyway back to reality. Hope both Lewis and Adam are ok after that crash to start off with. Plenty of effort from both sets of riders on a well prepared track. For Lynn; I thought Adam Lowe looked brilliant tbh before the crash.His move on Cam was pretty special tbh.Knight clearly isn't fit,think he has come back too soon.Kerr was unlucky in his last 2,but did look very ordinary in his first couple.Campos,Stokes and Johnson looked pretty solid,and Cockle did his job at number 1. For Mildenhall;Cam looked fast.Cracking bit of team riding to shield Nathan in ht13.Halsey again impressed.Looks so much more comfortable on the bike.Seems he has found the form that took him into the PL a couple of years back.Joe and Stef backed up Danny and Cam really well.Lew looked fast again before the crash.Finally the 2 reserves continued to impress.Got better as the meeting went on.Nathans ht13 win was decent.Cracking 1st couple of bends by the lad. Good to see every rider from the Mildenhall team getting a win also.Will do their confidence the world of good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see every rider from the Mildenhall team getting a win also.Will do their confidence the world of good. Screamer trust me you are wrong on Ht 9 having seen the replay, started from the back and Lewis was pushed into Lowe, horrible looking crash though Lowe really smashed into the air fence and then Lewis having his shoulder put back whilst leaning on the air fence. Hope for good news on them both today. Didnt see anything wrong with the earlier incident although TBF the accident at the back deflected some of the attention. Two points on that though firstly thought the Referee should be commended, took immediate action talked to the riders and defused the situation ( if as you say Cockle floored him then I suspect he would have been fined and kicked out of the meeting - which nobody would have wanted ) secondly after the rerun Cockle and Blackbird shook hands, fair play to them both. Early doors for both teams though I suspect lack of competitive track time ( Tigers in only third meeting and Stars probably less ). Goodish crowd, no rain and looked more from KL than on previous visits which is good to see. AJL smoothly run, 8 competitive riders and a good part of the crowd stayed to watch - hope more clubs take up. Kev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Personally I didn't see an awful lot wrong with either incident involving Blackbird to be honest, and the lad certainly has something about him. Same can be said for Bates who looks a fine prospect, although he may benefit from not getting quite so close to back wheels when chasing them thought his move on Knight was a little wreckless but he's a young lad learning and can be excused. Thought the Young Stars looked very rusty and it was a thoroughly deserved win for Mildy who had far more spark about them throughout the match. Adam Lowe was the one shining light for Lynn before his tumble. Kerr very unlucky in his last two after dreadful gates in his first couple of heats. One thing that struck me last night was the lack of meetings that riders like he and Joe Jacobs will be getting this year.....they are arguably the two brightest hopes for the two clubs and they should be getting loads of rides to aid their development, they need to be racing two or three times a week to help them progress. What a shame there aren't more clubs in the NL to provide everyone with extra track time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Excellent post by bagpuss, pretty much summed it up. I thought our whole team rode well last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liamhgk13 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Was at the meeting last night. Me personally thinks blackbird nearly ran into cockle that's why he went off at him! Disappointed for Lewis Kerr last night. Spoke to his dad after meeting and said clutch was playing up in the first and burnt out in the second and we all know it's horrible luck to snap 2 chains when leading twice! As for Adam lowe he looked really quick! Hope he recovers well and gets back soon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
