Plymouth V Newcastle Ko Cup Friday 26th April 2013


Recommended Posts

Can't remember the 8 day rule but perhaps it only applies to the home team. Either way Kyle is a an odd choice really on the basis of his two meetings at Plymouth this season (2+1 & 3+1). Tyson Nelson & Jason Garrity (10+2 & 8+2) when Rye won there look better options if available.

 

He's doing alright so far.

Well done Diamonds was worried what the score would be without Richie but that was a great win just need to finish it off second leg. Also well done Kyle great guest job in a heatleader spot.

So, Plymouth fans...what does Jake Anderson bring that Ben Reade didn't? Is it just the Aussie accent?

He's a nice guy and has good equipment. That's the stock answer.

To be honest I think he is better rider (having seen them both perform at NL level. Time will tell. Usual good quality meeting at SBA couple of cracking rides from gathercole. Plymouth need a bit more consistency because if they get it they will be hard to beat.

 

There has clearly been a lot of work done at the stadium and it has improved significantly as a result. I am told, though, that much of the work undertaken can't be seen as it is the form of electrics, wiring and safety. All credit to the promotion.

 

One last thing- and I never thought I would say this - I missed Mike Bowden a bit. While I have no doubt that things will better under messrs Stephens and Taylor I doubt there will be as much to talk about.

An excellent meeting with some good races.

 

Proctor: At last, a decent No.1 performance. 9/10

Schramm: Tried hard, but needs to gate better.5/10

Lemon: Went awol, totally opposite to last week. 3/10

Kling: Other than finishing in 2nd place in a race, he didn't finish any of his others at racing speed.1/10

Gathercole: Ht15 he seemed to fall a little too easily. Spoilt another good effort. 9/10

Anderson: On this performance, Reade would have done just as well. Obviously needs a little time to settle.4/10

Kurtz: Seemed to lack drive and power. (Best bikes abroad for U21?)6/10

 

Robson: Unlucky with an ef and suffering a fall when being cut up by Kurtz. Superb dive under Gathercole in Ht15 8/10

Henry: The best Ive ever seen him ride. Deservedly top scored. 8/10

Lindgren: Started red hot and then faded, just like last season! 7/10

Newman: Finally got off the white line, and looked so much more competitive for it. Best performance here for ages.7/10

Kerr: Excellent reserve performance.7/10

Worrall: Disappointing night for him. 3/10

 

Overall, the best team won on the night. Some hard racing on a well prepared track. Strange decisions from the referee though. Proctor made a flier in Ht6 and it was let go. Newman did the same, but not as obvious as Proctor, and it gets stopped, and Newman warned! 10pts from r/r for the Diamonds was the deciding factor.

 

Not amused at Graham Hambleys comments when Newman dropped it in Ht15.Congratualted him on clearing the track quickly enabling the race to continue. Fair enough. But to then go on and say 'not surprisingly as his partner (Robbo)was at the front at the time'. Totally out of order, as Newman didn't even look up, he just ran to his bike and pushed himself clear

 

If and when this Devils team can all perform at the same time, someone will get a battering. They all just need some consistency.

 

Nevertheless, well done to George English for a very well received interview on the centre green. Im pleased the all the work done by the new Promotion has been noticed by a very experienced Promoter.
