Shadders Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 What's happened to Henning Bager? Saw him at Rye House where he struggled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 An excellent match with some great racing from Robson and Screen, especially in ht13, one of the best of recent times. As each week passes Joe Jacobs grows in stature, not intimidated by other riders, Henry was particularly brutal coming under him in ht12 but he never shut off and let him know it at the end. His ht14 round the boards to win off gate 4 was the match saver, replacing the woeful Bager. Be interesting to find out if he had bike trouble or was pulled for his final ride. The other constant from the last few weeks was Grieves bike spluttering round, after a good first ride he was dreadfully slow and never got off the line in ht15. Newcastle were excellent opposition, solid right through apart from Lindgren. Tully's r/r rides yielded 9 points, about 7 more than he would have got but that's speedway.

Paulco Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 That was awesome today , never came out of Glasgow buzzing about the speedway like this for years . Credit to both sides for an amazing 15 heats of speedway . The highlight being heat 13 , although it was painful for us you have to credit Stuart Robson for riding an unbelievable race to pass both Screen and then Grieves . And what about young Joe Jacobs , how this lad is progressing . When both Diamonds gated in heat 14 i thought the game was up for us , but young Joe brought the house down by passing both of them . The older Joe then clinched the points in heat 15 , but that ride in heat 14 really won us the meeting . Bager struggling again was the only lowpoint for us and Lindgren was much the same for the Diamonds . But overall speedway was the winner today . Whatever was done to our track during the winter has done the trick and we are now watching some fantastic speedway . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Which is entirely wrong When the green lights are initially turned on they will be under the Starting Marshall's orders. i.e. stationary. If they move at this point then the referee should exclude that rider for not following the Starting Marshall's instructions. The rider is only allowed to move once the tapes have risen. Normally, the ref's bottle it and just give the rider a "warning" for moving at the starts. Or some like Barbara Horley today apply the rules inconsistently. Ht1 pulled back the race because Henry moved back from the tapes when the green light went on. Ht9 Worrall R jumps the start and lets it go.

Ht 9 was the worst jump start i've seen in ages , kept waiting for the lights to come on and they never did .

Arson fire Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Gate 4 seemed very advantageous.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeyin Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Brilliant meeting Thought we were going to lose at one point but fair play to the lads they pulled it off...Got to thank Newcastle for giving it a go, they must be disappointed to only get 1 point.. Glasgow:- Joe Screen...what can you say, he is masterful when on song!!, perhaps in hindsight should have went by James G in heat 13 instead of trying to protect him, but did the business in heat 15 to secure the win. Joey Ringwood... great win in heat 6, getting there though , has had some really tough rides so far this season. James Wright... did much better this week, surprised he didnt get the pick for heat 15 Henning Bager... missing his celebrations , looking very slow so far this season James Grieves...although he got the points, was lacking speed/power..expensive ef in heat 15 Harley Horwood... can be very fast if he hits the front , then looks like a novice when at the back, more to come from Harley, needs a confidence boost Joe Jacobs... brilliant riding from young Joe , coming on leaps and bounds, going to be a star around Ashfield not afraid to mix it !! Newcastle:- Stuart Robson... Brilliant racing , a joy to watch Christian Henry... consistent , more aggressive than he was when riding for Glasgow, Ludvig Lindgren... disappointed in his performance , thought he would have done better Ritchie Worrall... has come on leaps and bounds, has recovered well from his injury last year ( in my fantasy league team) Lewis Kerr... didnt know much about him but also looks a star in the making Steve Worrall...struggled a bit. great meeting !!!, hope we put on a show tomorrow at Newcastle but I fear a tonking at brough, you live in hope though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albyhere Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I confess to having grave doubts about the new promotion's tactic of using so many young riders before the season started, However I see now, they were right and I was wrong. I am hugely impressed with what I've seen so far from all three of them and am convinced we have some real stars in the making here. Also I can't come on here without expressing something akin to astonishment at the level of racing now. It is quite simply stupendous. Some of the best passes I have ever witnessed in recent weeks. Fabulous speedway. A treat to watch and my heart's in my mouth at times, when before it used to be my fist to hide my yawning. Don't know what they have to that track but my God it works. Hearty congratulations all round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Great to hear the racing has improved, Ashfield is one of my favourite venues to watch speedway due to the proximity of the terracing to the track and its great to read that the action is good too. Very pleasing to see Lewi Kerr scoring well once again on an away track too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at his scores it seems Newcastle have picked up another gem in young Kerr,its something that Newcastle promotion have a knack of doing over the years.

thetiger2799 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Paulco has basically said everything I would have! Joe Jacobs wow just wow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Young Kerr is certainly electric from the gate , and looks a sylish rider when in front . Not at the races when he missed the start , but he's only learning and i don't think he's ever ridden Ashfield before . So 8 points from 5 rides is very commendable on an away circuit .

glasgowmicktiger Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 was he that good?? He only beat our reserves and a below par Lindgren. i think bevi's an issue here hey lads...but he was great today for a young lad he doing just fine oh and he can only beat who you put in front of him having a bad day or not.

Paulco Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 was he that good?? He only beat our reserves and a below par Lindgren. I know , but he's just a young lad making his way in the sport . Pressure was on in heat 14 when he came in to replace the woeful Bager . Kerr and Lindgren flew from the tapes , for what would probably have been a match winning 5-1 , but young Jacobs rode a superb race to pick both of them off and turn the meeting our way . He also had a very good race with Christian Henry in heat 12 . And to answer your earlier question , the outside gates are usually better round our place as the riders get a lot of drive around the outside on turns 1 and 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Robbo forgot how advantageous the outside gates are at Ashfield , we only get to enjoy his racing once or twice a season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
