Swindon V Leicester Thursday 17th July


Recommended Posts

Looks like Swindon are trying as hard as they can to chuck this away.

Plus no Kildermand in 15 so obviously could have used rr in 13.

Fraid not - PK had completed three rides so IRR was not available (17.9.1)

Batchelor very criitical of what he called a bumpy track in Swindon Advertiser live coverage. You have to stay on to score points were his words. There are too many falls at Blunsdon from top riders, I think Batch may echo his team mates regarding track preparation.

 

 

Rosco not a happy man re the track either!!!

Rosco has commented about the state of the track, something I wondered about after all the falls the last couple of weeks on bends one and two. This did cause more problems last night on bends three and four as well and nearly cost us the meeting.

And they went on about the number of falls at Leicester on Monday night. It seems that we are not the only track that the riders can not stay on thier bikes for 4 laps. It is time that the way the tracks are preped for racing was altered, and tracks made that gave riders a chance to ride.

Not only for them to be able to stay on thier bikes but to eliviate all the very bad accidents that are putting riders in hospital with seroius injuries, that sees them unable to race for weeks if not months.

There have been a few near life threatening injuries this year.

Not only should the tracks be made so they are safe for the riders, but to make them so we get better racing that the fans can enjoy.

Instead of the scating rinks they are producing now.

All the tracks are nowhere near as good as they used to be & watching many meetings on 365 just endorses that.

 

Ronnie Russell used to pay Malciolm Simmons to prepare the Hackney track & is it down to him Swindon is now poor or the bikes the riders are on?.

 

I know what I think.
