Nutz Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Rohan Tungate on his way back from France where he came 2nd to Jason Doyle. His points will be the difference tonight.  Probably racing Justin Sedgmen and Sam Masters up the autoroute after being in the same meeting  Does Cookie not still have a share of the TR?  Still school half term I see.  Think it was announced that CC actually beat the old TR by 0.04s! That's for those who actually think speedway bikes can be accurately measured by a dothery hand on a stopwatch!!! For the official record, I believe he joint holds the TR.

Super Blue Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 It's raining... Much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalSin Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Much?Nah SB. Went in to the royal George on Colchester road at 12, came out at 1 and it was drizzling, ground soaking wet with puddles around and I though here we go! Fizzled out shortly after and has been dry since, overcast but fairly warm and the roads have dried.  Fingers crossed we get no more as no more is forecast.

Alan R Horne Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Lets hope it stays fine and Bob constructs a grippy track for great racing so it proves to be the best meeting of the season. Think the Witches will have to have all 7 on the ball otherwise we will end up with no points at all in my opinion. So good luck lads all the best.

2ndbendbeerhut Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Just got to stadium still raining very overcast . Can't see it making 15 heats  cheers for that, i'll be leaving soon, not so bad on this side of town. Actually better than last week as not so heavy rain, as long as we have no delays how many heats do we need to beat the Monarchs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Yup, horrible drizzle and what's worse was to discover the ref is Barbara ( I always make at least 1 or more screw up decisions per meeting ) Horley! Â Tonight's got disaster written all over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainAudi Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 A draw is an excellent result for the monarchs at a tricky place to visit! Â Winning streaks gone, but still unbeaten. Well done boys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Tonight's got disaster written all over it. Tonight must be a historical moment! Got Sedgeman's and Masters' exclusions both right! From where i am we thought that Cook touched tapes in 13 so maybe got that wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner47 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Just like to thank Sam Masters for gifting us a point I never thought we'd get. As usual with a draw you can point to this and that, but why he didn't get off the track in heat 13 when Cook was leading is anyone's guess. Not too sure if he was hoping that a Witch would be excluded, but even Babs couldn't screw that one up. Richie, becoming an enigma, rubbish then brilliant Gino, good lad Morten, good lad Cam, oh dear, not good enough!! Rohan, good lad the reserves, not good enough. Tend to agree! cant remember much apart from a great heat 13. oh well always Rye House on sunday..... I reckon even we could win there on Sunday as there probably wont be any opposition.

Siggytastic Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 But we will loose the saturday meeting if we turn up a day late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 When each of your top 4 get paid 10 or better you expect to win especially at home so a draw is very disappointing.  There wont be many meetings when Cook.is beaten in 3 of his 5 heats  Sneddon was a rolling roadblock at times but credit to him he did that job and pick up the vital points Cam and the reserves didnt for the Witches.  Steve Worrall was the real hero for the Monarchs - looked super quick and super smooth.  Richie came good at the end. I hope it gives him the confidence to kick on and be that No1 that we need and he wants to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Not a bad meeting considering the conditions. Spoke with Richie afterwards who said he had the set up completely wrong in the first 2. Gino is just a star this season along with Morten. Cam really struggled tonight didn't seem to know what lines to ride. Rohan got better and almost snatched the win in the last. The reserves were poor tonight beating out of the gate far to easily. Final thing tonight was the first time I've seen Cook ride and I've never witnessed such a miserable arrogant rider. In heat 13 Tungate and Worrall rode brilliantly to keep him behind. As the race finishes he gets to the first bend turns round and rides back no shake of the hands. In heat 15 Worrall leads him tapes to flag again no handshake or acknowledgement. I go to the pits he comes in after the race his team mates pay him on the back he ignores them and starts taking off his kevlars. As it was a draw both teams go on the truck. He moaned like a petulant child before getting on the truck and sitting there sulking not talking to anyone, comes back gets off the truck and goes to showers. The guy is the best rider in the premier but his attitude stinks. If you think you shouldn't be beat in the premier Craig then go and just ride elite league. After all that well done monarchs solid side and good to see Steve Worrall riding so well again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) But we will loose the saturday meeting if we turn up a day late. is it saturday? oh well never mind!? I'll make the effort and watch the GP instead! "bottom 3" beat an opponent in 4 races out of 12. Bad enough away but not acceptable at home! Â Personally i'd change Gino and Cam in the riding order. Makes us stronger for the end of the meetings. Edited May 29, 2014 by 2ndbendbeerhut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
