GLSDiamond Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Great performance by the Diamonds but lets remember it was the Bears first time on track while some of the Diamonds have already clocked up 4 matches. Team looks strong from 1-7 and hopefully Andrew will be back before long. I can't believe the Bears have kept faith with Kus. In all my 40 years of watching Speedway a rider has never annoyed me more. Makes the gate and looks world class. Misses the gate and at times looks like he would not make the Conference league.

RedcarRacer Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Dont think result is a huge shock, Redcar were below standard - but this team - unlike what some may say - is not a realistic contender for silverware. Saying that I am not going to have a go at promotion, given the limited budget the club run on dont think a better team could be put together. I think main issue is big hitter, Summers, Ostergaard and Kus are all capable but they will all struggle to be in the leagues top 20/3 this season.

The White Knight Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I think Kus is a big let down. He seems, in general, to finish either First or Last when I have seen him. If he is leading in to the first bend - he will probably win - if if he is not leading - then he doesn't seem interested. I am sure that if I am wrong about this, and I may be, someone will put me right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Knight Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Martin Neal (Evening Gazette journalist) has tweeted that Max has broken his leg. Very sad News - I hope he recovers quickly. Once again injury strikes, and so early in the Season - Best wishes Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilersrus Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Not exactly the start Redcar would have wanted. Early days of course but you don't want to be taken apart in your first home meeting. On paper it's a solid side, but has too many inconsistent scorers for me. Hope they improve though with meetings under their belts. The Diamonds could hardly have started better. Very surprised how well the Worrall's have done so far; they have both just continued from where they left last year which is amazing considering the severity of their injuries. Robson also looks a different rider so far. The early form of Lindgren though is perhaps the most encouraging. Early days yet but if Robson and Lindgren can continue in this vain we will have some top 4 once Tully is back. Personally I would have gone with Nedermark over Henry as he is still improving and I would have backed him to comfortably out score Henry on the road but hey, ho. Great start. to be honest with you henry hasn`t been on a bike since last season so maybe a bit rusty and i`m sure he`ll come good soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redlead Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Bears were terrible, the track was worse, It's a poor excuse to say the bears were rusty as most of the team have ridden in the off season or have had several practices or matches. There was an inability to make a good start and on a very slick, dry and bumpy track, good starts were essential. There was few high spots for the bears, the two new Aussies seemed to get better as the night went on, one good gate by Kus were he looked good when winning, awful at the back. The biggest downer was of course the crash with Max and Wilco, hope both will be fit soon. Newcastle well deserved their win and look to be a very strong team, and might I suggest are stronger without Tully as all the team can take a ride.
