Woz01 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 So what do bees fans reckon - will Garrity end the season topping your EL averages? I'd imagine its very likely he'll average around nine, so probably in the top half dozen riders in the EL? He wont get an average this season. Hans has tweeted he has a knee injury and it doesnt look too good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 He will get an average this season every rider who rides a race gets an average. The average he gets will not be an official average for next seasons team building, but that wasnt the query. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Hope Hans is okay and knee is not as bad as suggested. Need our number 1 esp with Harris due to miss more fixtures. Bit concern with Howarth missing so many meetings as not many guests available on his average but sure we will see at the time. Brilliant start for the team last night esp after all the problems of the last couple of weeks. Some good gating and racing Last year we struggled to pick up any away points and this year we have started with 4pts away at Swindon which is never easy. Lets hope its the start of a good season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting Lasse Bjerre to ride a few times for the Bees - makes sense, average fits and he rides for Micks other team. edit > a couple of ok meeting and Adam Roynon will fit too. edit2 > With the 5% for home guests, Adam fits for home meetings.

Yes both would be good guests. Would like it if he could up average so we could also use summers at home 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyb Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Have been along to the Storm meeting tonight and the track looked superb ! Visibly more banking and track remained rut-less for the whole of the meeting and plenty of loose shale. Couldn't tell as to how good the racing would be as a 71-18 one sided meeting - but there could be potential ! I was highly critical of the mess of a couple of weeks ago and rubbished the Polish track curator. Glad to be able to offer an apology. just hope tomorrow Stock car meeting doesn't undo all of the good. Next Friday against Kings Lynn could be a classic 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greytiger Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Makes me wonder if the New track curator really did repair the track on his own. I think an Expert was brought in. If I'm right hope he will be back to repair again after the Stock car's and......... before the Cov Bees return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dornier Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 After the away meeting at Poole I`m even more of the opinion that Bombers going to struggle this season with the new race format . And I think they should have given the captains hat to Hans and I`m now thinking Fisher would probably do a good job as captain. Bombers been a bit lucky so far he`s come up against out of form Bjerres and Holders he won`t stand a chance against the on form opposing heat leaders especially when he gives them a two yard start., His gating at Poole was diabolical. Now onto Garrity I had no idea about Garrity only the hype I heard about him on here I must say I`m a bit disappointed with what I`ve seen so far, am not too impressed with his gating technique he seems to crawl away and then thrust his weight backwards in the hope of getting some rear wheel drive by which time the gaps have closed. I`m very happy with the way the rest of the team are shaping up, Hansen and Howarth both rode with a lot of courage at Poole and Fisher hasn`t put a foot wrong so far he`s an inspiration to the team.....

Bjerre & Holder have averages over 8 & 9. Harris has 6.82. Unfair to expect to score more. Did well beating them. Think maybe Cov need to be given some credit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the team to win and nearly winnings not good enough, to me we`ve lost three meetings that should have been wins......

If Bomber can average 7 he has more than done his job in my opinion and I dont think its fair comparing him to Holder and Bjerre they average 2 points more than him. You will see a lot of heat leaders dropping there average so if Bomber can get a 7 average thats got to be a success although he does need to improve. We will more of a gauge of Bombers overall form after the weekend meetings. I think your harsh on Garrity to, he has been injured and Blayne said he has suffered bikes problems which he has disguised well as I couldnt tell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the track most riders said the same yet when Bomber says it people say he is making excuses. I do expect an improvement from him as the opposition isnt as great as Kings Lynn and Poole plus the fact he did score 11 at Leicester guesting for Wolves. He is also testing his equipment tomorrow so he is trying to improve his fortunes. He cant afford another couple of meetings like the last one.

Woz01 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 There is a possibility we might have to replace Ryan Fisher. His family have been refused entry into the UK and has said he will quit if they are not allowed back in. Tough times for him, you wouldnt have thought he had this in the background with the way he has started the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
