Coventry Bees V Kings Lynn Stars 11/04/2014


Recommended Posts

Worrying signs for Coventry, the Birmingham match should have been used as a warning.

 

Great win from Lynn and the best part is that Bjerre didn't even ride properly.. Imagine a typical Bjerre performance and Lynn could well have hit 60.

Ride properly? What was he doing, facing backwards? :D

 

He's a bigger liability than a Co Op banker.

Should've won tonight! After the start we could've taken at least two points tonight. Vissing did what I expected in terms of points but I would've hoped for him to have got at least a few more points from the positions he was in. Hans didn't seem up to it tonigh after heat 1, hopefully he'll pick up. Bomber not at his best tonight either, but the track didn't suit him tonight (although it was the same for both teams, so this isn't much of an excuse). Fisher did well tonight as did Garrity apart from the last couple. Hansen also looked good.

 

Overall, it was a meeting I was hoping we'd win after the start we had. Well done to Kings Lynn who are a good team, but it's disappointing not to win. Hopefully at the next home meeting the track will be set up to suit our riders more.

Looks like another season of struggle for the Bees.

It all seemed to be looking promising before they took to the track.

Bomber and Hans the let downs AGAIN.

I must have been at a different meeting.

Even though we lost near the end, I really enjoyed this meeting.

Both teams really rode well and gave it a good effort to keep it close with riders from each teams winning races.

 

Early days but I think it has been a promising start to the season for both teams. Get Hans fit, Howarth back and Bjerre firing and they will do well.

Don't think Coventry will face a harder team (except maybe Poole) at home this year.

 

Bring on Leicester at home next Friday :)

Very pleasing result with excellent returns from all bar Bjerre and Rose......young Lewis will find the going tough away from home now and again of course and while we need more from Kenneth he has beaten the home number one twice tonight so not a disastrous return. Superb from the other two heat leaders and of course Niklas and Lewi Kerr, match winning performances from those two.

 

Think catching the Bees in their first home meeting has helped this evening, and great to see Lambert picking up his first win and paid win in the EL.

Shocking display from Andersen.

A much expected result though so no alarm bells are ringing yet. Good to see Garrity score some points which should boost his confidence.

 

What was the track like? According to the updates bomber said it was crap?

Hoping it was just cos Andersen was injured as looked off the pace. Good signs from rest of the team and good to see them all helping each other.

 

The riders know best when it comes to the track. It did look very dusty but was plenty of over taking

Not a bad meeting, bit dusty but to risky to water it i think. Some really good racing and for the bees I think there is no need for any panic reactions,

 

Hans really isn't fit ! Must be cursed in bees colours, fisher was really good and has fast bikes but how he stayed on in heat 12 I never know. Hansen was also entertaining and he earnt his points. Vissing was no Howarth but yet again we suffer. To slick for Harris to do much but he wasn't far off the pace and it was a typical performance, can't gate but track not to his strength so spends 4 laps on people's exhaust. Garrity was better than Wednesday but he looked really good or he was struggling at the back. Sarjeant had abit of a mare but did his best and was good to see whole team lending support to him and his bikes.

 

The new format will catch out a few riders, I like the new heat system and the bees will be just fine. Fit riders and our full team and we will be climbing the table.

If hans ain't fit, then he should be man enough to admit it, rather than looking like a twit as he did !

 

Come early September this loss may come back to haunt us.

 

We ain't looking for heroes, but just guys that can perform !

Track was "terrible...like the M25" said Bomber over the PA. I'd be inclined to almost agree. It wasn't a track that gave the racers much chance to use an outside line to overtake and got very dusty and dry. Not a great night for Bees who promised so much in the opening races, only to let it slip. Finger can easily be pointed at Andersen, but I wonder whether he's suffering from the knee injury still. Certainly he got better as the night progressed on Wednesday at Perry Barr but didn't look at the races tonight apart from Heat 1. Otherwise, a more than decent night again for Fisher, a much improved Garrity showing and some good, aggressive riding from Hansen and a few points to show for it too. Harris was always in the mix but lacking speed, and Vissing flattered to deceive. Sarjeant was a mere shadow of the rider we saw at Swindon and Birmingham, missing the gate in all his rides, but I'm sure he'll bounce back.

 

A great night for Kings Lynn, who must be buzzing about their prospects this year. Especially impressed by Kerr, Porsing and Lambert. Imagine what they can do when Bjerre gets going.
