Somerset V Newcastle 18th July


Recommended Posts

Weather seems to be looking good for this one folks. Newcastle should provide a stiffer test this time, especially with Danny King in their ranks. Robbo seems to be at the OTA every other week, so will be dialled in nicely. Lindgren surely can't be as poor as in April. Still going for a Rebels win by 12.

I'll reserve judgement on that.

God you just can't help yourself. It is so boring........

 

You never say a word about anyone else. Robbo and Lewis were dreadful in the pairs last week and Danny King has been nowt special so far either but Lindgren is always to blame.

yeah,,, if he does'nt score well, bring his head back on a stick !!!,,, and put the rest of him into a body made from twigs, set it on fire and wheel over the cliffs,,, :-)

What have I said - I just said I would reserve judgement. I didn't criticise him.

 

Reserve judgement means - 'wait and see'.

 

I wasn't going to mention it until your Posts appeared - BUT - do you really think that FOUR points at Sheffield was a decent score for a Heat Leader? Personally - I don't.

 

Anyway - let's see how he gets on tonight at Somerset.

I genuinely hope that Lindgren gets a maximum tonight - and the same goes for every Meeting left in the Season. I would love to be proved wrong.

 

On his day he is a brilliant Rider - but 'his day' doesn't happen anywhere near enough for someone with such talent. THAT is why I find him so frustrating. That and his lack of willingness to Team Ride as he rides off and leaves his Teammates to struggle.

OK, I'm going to bite.... (call me Luis!)

 

It really depends on the situation. Perhaps Ludde thinks that if he tried to team ride, the chances are both him and his team mate might get overtaken by the opponent(s) behind, so rather than chance that happening, he "rides off" to guarantee the 3 points for the team and hope the said team mate can look after himself for any extra point.

 

Team riding is a dying art form these days, unfortunately, and there are many who can do it.

Ludde can team ride when the circumstance allow. Just Ian can't see it the way the rest of us do. Which is quite sad really. :cry:

I see it how it is Dave. Not how I would like it to be.

 

I see Robbo Team Riding often - so I know what Team Riding is. Perhaps, as Steve says, he can't Team Ride but actually I don't believe that because I HAVE SEEN HIM DO IT!!

 

But crucially - only when he wants to. That my friend, is my gripe.

Or, like I said, the situation allows him to.
