cityrebel Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 very simple really the setting sun was low in the sky shining into the riders eyes entering the 3rd bend - about 10 mins delay to allow sun to set - no problem really have seen this happen at many tracks over the years - at least it was a bit warmer tonight a bit warmer!, it still felt bloody freezing to me tonight!

Pirate Nick Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Thoroughly enjoyed a good evenings speedway. Thought the Rebels were a little unlucky not to come away with the win, but would have been a shame to have a loser after a hard fought entertaining battle from both sides. Good to see Kyle dust off his Rye House gremlins and set up a last heat decider with his ht 14 win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Kyle dust off his Rye House gremlins and set up a last heat decider with his ht 14 win. Think the Rebels will be the happier side with the draw, the Rocket's were certainly robbed of the win by mechanical failures. Morley and Mellgren both retiring whilst in 5-1 advantage positions in heats 2 and 15 respectively offset the heat 10 re-run which saw the Rebels lose a 5-1 as Olly couldn't clear the track in time. Another note on the Ref, three or four fourth bend incidents cannot have been seen as the red lights were put on ridiculously late, in a couple of cases as the riders were entering the third turn at speed the following lap, could have caused a serious injury. Also the kickboards were dislodged one heat and the ref should have stopped it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) the heat 10 re-run which saw the Rebels lose a 5-1 as Olly couldn't clear the track in time. Couldn't or wouldn't?

I still maintain the 4th bend can't be seen from the refs box What I did find amusing was Olly Allen wiggling his handlebars just before the tapes went up. It certainly put Doyle off in heat 13 as he tried to jump and missed the gate Edited April 7, 2013 by Shadders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, clearly got to Morris too, think Olly is going to be good for us this year, his experience and little tricks like that will be worth just as much as the points he scores on track.

The way it's going he'll have a challenge to the number 1 spot, which should take the pressure off him. I still don't think we've seen the best of Olly.

BossMan Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) Genuinely think he couldn't as he struggled once the lights came on too, still it was great acting if not! Think you will find Olly wouldn’t get up as opposed to couldn’t – was standing on the fourth bend at the time and had a great view. You also forgot to mention Doyle’s mechanical gremlins in heat 15 as well? Not convinced about Olly staying as a No. 1 and unfortunately Ben is still not ready for this league yet, shame as I like the kid.

I still don't think we've seen the best of Olly. I spoke to Olly & he seems to be quite hard on himself. He did say that it would take him a few weeks to get used to the track.
