On paper it looks a tough one. I can't remember Bay City Cook ever riding at Lakeside so the Aces are probably better off relying on r/r as all except Zagar can take his rides.

 

Zagar in his Swindon days was probably one of the best riders we have seen at Lakeside and if he produces that from it will easily be 14 or 15 points from him possibly as much as 18 with the dreaded t/r and when a rider performs like that it is always hard for the opposing team. Scott on his present form should be good for around 12//13 from six rides so there probably won't be much left for the others to do to get something out of it. A lot depends on the Hammers wildly erratic form. You just never know what you are going to get from them these days. Looking forward to seeing how Stefan Nielson goes against the Lakeside reserves. A return to form by PK is desperately needed.

Home win definitely Palm Toft and the Aces reserves will struggle round Purfleet. Looks like you will have an easy time on the phones later Bryn no one will phone up asking about the weather!!

Bryn will be there in t shirt and shorts.

Would like to think The Aces can sneak a point but it will be tough. I'm interested to see how Lawson v Worrall fair as Lawson is head and shoulders above Richie in the averages and this fully vindicates the Hammers decision to ditch Ritchie last year. Just hope Richie remembers the quick way round.

Just got my bet365 account set up to watch this, not a good meeting for an aces fan!

The only positive I can find is that they seem to be playing modern music!

Its the same music every week. But worryingly its one of the better tracks!

Well I wasn't expecting a result quite like that! A good solid effort from the Hammers tonight, with Bech looking incredible and Bridger riding like a man possessed (until heat 15) - both great entertainment.

 

Lawson started off very well too - and certainly highlighted the fact that many of us Lakeside fans are happy to have him on board instead of Worrall, who repeatedly refused to go round the stock car track despite the track staff directing him every time!

Well done to Lakeside. A very poor performance from the Aces. The only saving grace is that once they got dialled in they actually outscored Lakeside over the last six heats 16-20. However, that is no consolation, they should have come to terms with the track much sooner.

The Aces were terrible Nicholls and Zagar only did anything in their last 2 rides when the meeting was lost. Any Aces fans who travelled down should have their entrance money and travelling expenses paid for by the riders.

 

Bridger has been superb recently I reckon he can get on the rostrum at the British Final on the 16 June. He must be in the team GB world cup team if he carries on this form.

I agree - the way he has been riding lately, he could really get Rosco's attention at the British Final.
