Robinh88 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Newcastle is what it is. British Speedway tracks bar a very select few produce bog standard racing.on a regular basis Berwick being one of them. Good tracks seem to be in mostly Poland Sweden and Germany Edited June 16, 2014 by BeastfromtheEast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandits4eva Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I don't particularly like Berwick but I don't go on Berwick threads slagging it off every opportunity I get. And neither am I on Newcastle threads at every opportunity either! I have a life and a career which keeps me very busy nowadays thank you very much!

bringbackHalifax Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 The idea of nullifying a joker double pointer is to come out of the race with the same points advantage you went into heat with. Newcastle did that and more tonight. As for team riding, it is very difficult for the riders at the moment as there is only one quick line round brought this season. If you look at Robbo and Kerr tonight Robbo didn't team ride with Lew as Lew wasn't quick enough and Somerset have a decent rider in every race normally so better to bank the points. Robbie and Lew are evenly matched so can ride together, Danny is quicker than Lew R, Ludo is quicker than reserves so harder for them. Also riders prefer clear run into bends to pick line that suits them so better if team mate is well ahead. Just a pity track surface nowhere near as good as last season. Well done to the lads on a good victory. Hope LewK and LewR recover quickly ,but don't think we will see either next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I have to agree with TWK on his team riding point. With a little help Millsey might have held off Wright to completely nullify the tactical advantage. But to be fair to Ludo. he has just got his gating gloves back, so some slack in this case may be appropriate. beaten only by Nick Morris from the opposing team,,, ok, Nick did'nt have his best night at Brough, but he ain't no mug either,,, and as also mentioned above,,, the lack of team riding by other rider's, (well, can't really see the daggers out there),,, but hey-ho,,, gutted for Lewis, hope it does'nt knock him too far back :-(,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Cue for Steve Park and Tsunami?! Last week it was the weather... Excuse this week? Correct. It was last Sundays weather. I'll let Tsunami explain, as he knows more about it than I do and is probably better explaining these things. Decent Meeting tonight. Good wishes to the three injured Riders. I wish them all well and a quick return to racing. Lindgren seems to have come out of the doldrums I'm pleased to say - he looked vastly better tonight. I still wish he would learn to Team Ride though. He shot off and left Mills to fend for himself in one Race - we got a 4-2 instead of a 5-1. A little help from Lindgren would not have gone amiss. Actually - whilst I am on the subject Danny King seems to suffer the same problem as Lindgren. If it were not for Robbo - I would think Team Riding was a thing of the past. You just have to have the dig don't you? You can't just congratulate him and leave it at that, can you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Surely it can't be a track problem? Has to be rider error As usual you are so right. That's both you and the usual lurking Montie. Nick, handful of throttle in heat 1 on a pristine track, lifts on the second bend, spins round and excluded. Allen slides off on the third bend, lands on his shoulder that has already popped out 4 times, and it will need tightening at some stage in his future. Kerr, rather that accepting 2nd place, or waiting for a bigger space, does a blast around the second bend, catches his foot peg on the rubber skirt of the last panel of the air fence, which drags him into the first bit of naked fence and Lewis breaks collarbone. I replace the rubber skirt that is ripped to shreds. Aspgren beaten to the first bend by Rose , decides not to turn and go straight on, shunting both machines and riders across the track and ending up just short of the air fence in a nasty tangle. Everyone saw it except Garry May. As you would agree, all rider errors, and could have happened at any track including Berwick and Scunny, the alleged Bydgoszcz of the frozen north. Have you not got better things to do BTW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was last Sundays weather. I'll let Tsunami explain, as he knows more about it than I do and is probably better explaining these things. You just have to have the dig don't you?

Bagpuss Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I'm probably in the minority but in most cases I'd rather see the stronger rider clear off and take the stonewall 4-2 (4-4) than see a possible 5-1 turn into a 3-3 (3-6) through an attempted team ride. Have seen it go wrong on too many occasions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 that hole has always been there,,, has nobody told the riders ???,,, should maybe put a sign up If what you are saying is correct, is not possible to rectify the hazard, or has nobody told the track curator ???

Bandits4eva Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Have you not got better things to do BTW. Me... Far better things to do normally, which is why I don't post anywhere near as much as some of the anoraks currently around... but as it was Sunday and I was home relaxing, i thought I'd keep an eye on some results.. I will be asking you the same question if I see you pop up elsewhere with criticisms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIAMONDS Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Yes I know exactly what people are going to say to this . But can we not sign 2 riders on a short term deal to give Lewis and Chris (Schramm) a month or so to recover. 1. Danny King 11.18 2. Lewis Rose 4.08 3. Stuart Robson 7.50 4. Claes Nedermark 6.20 5. Ludvig Lindgren 7.37 6. Chris Mills 3.00 7. Dan Greenwood 3.00/New 3.00 er I'd prefer to see a full seven man team than R/R being used all of the time.

But mine will be comments favourable or not, unlike yours.I seem to remember last year, after the SKY meeting , my complimentary post on here was reproduced in total in your proggie. Was yours. Yes I know exactly what people are going to say to this . But can we not sign 2 riders on a short term deal to give Lewis and Chris (Schramm) a month or so to recover.1. Danny King 11.182. Lewis Rose 4.083. Stuart Robson 7.504. Claes Nedermark 6.205. Ludvig Lindgren 7.376. Chris Mills 3.007. Dan Greenwood 3.00/New 3.00 erI'd prefer to see a full seven man team than R/R being used all of the time. Oh course you can , depending on decent riders with the right average being available at the right time. I personally would not go with the two you have included in your proposed team.Claes doesn't seem bothered about speedway, and we have Chris's average to use rather than a 3 pointer.

As you would agree, all rider errors, and could have happened at any track including Berwick and Scunny, the alleged Bydgoszcz of the frozen north. Done a bit of Lurking Dave---over 40 falls or exclusions on Brough this year in 11 meetings, on a quick look through the rest it 3 times more than any other track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done a bit of Lurking Dave---over 40 falls or exclusions on Brough this year in 11 meetings, on a quick look through the rest it 3 times more than any other track So by your careful digging, and using your own figures, YOU are saying that there is only 1.2 falls or exclusions for the next worse track to us, and all the others have only one fall or an exclusion per meeting. Unbelievable and untrue. Edited June 17, 2014 by Tsunami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
