StevePark Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Surely Lemo counts as being on official FIM international duty? It's not like he's gone to Poland for a holiday, is it? All the best Rob Lemo explained on his Facebook status that the rule has changed for this year. Beforehand it was just the riders, now it includes the managers (of which Lemo is the only one!), that once you have signed in at the SWC you can't ride anywhere else while still involved in the competition.

Tsunami Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 i for see a wonky box win tonight could be wrong but it will be a close one No chance. Rene not as good as King, and no Kerr.

ruffdiamond Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 We might scrape a point for a narrow defeat. What has the track been like the last few weeks? Last time I was there it was bare as a badgers bum. I always thought it was 'as rough as a badgers rr's',,, baboons have got funny bum's tho :-) i for see a wonky box win tonight could be wrong but it will be a close one would love to see it,,, but don't think so this time :-( Just been told that Cookie can't make tonights meeting for personal reasons, and he is replaced by Rene B. Anybody confirm or deny it please. a wonder what's happened there then,,, a report earlier had said that some-one was seen throwing a pacifier out of a vehicle on the A19 by Nissan,,, but, then again that don't mean anything,,, it happens quite a bit down that way as I am led to believe ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marron Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Good result considering we lost Blackbird, someone who would have ensured we got maximum points. Poor team managing yet again to put Blackbird in that race he crashed in and to have Konopka going up against Bach and Lindgren later in the meeting rather than in the heat before. Thought Rafal looked a lot better than his 2 points. Glad the lads all stood up to the challenge.

EDIT: Spelling Cant argue with much of that. 1 rider in 2 heats, and Rafal having to take 7 rides so happy to get any win. Actually thought it was a pretty decent meeting with some good racing. Heat 15 was a cracker in particular. Skidmore really seems to have come of age this season, and thought Wilko battled hard for his points. Rafa was a bit unlucky to only get 2 points as well, best he has rode for a while. Back was an excellent guest but impressed with Rose. Started slowly but ended the meeting very well. Would have been tempted to chuck him in heat 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 go on Rene :-) Best I have seen him ride this season. Cracking meeting and a fair result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothers Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Just like to point out that Rene Bach has the 8th highest average around the STMP of all riders that have had more than 6 matches there. Craig Cook isn't in the top 20. Admittedly this is because Cook rode a few early meetings at reserve for Workington. However Bach's average of 8.09 in his last 10 meetings here for Newcastle/Workington is better than Cooks 7.08 in his 10 meetings. Just because a rider is on top of his form doesn't mean he's going to score points at a specific track (Take Ben Barker another top class rider who doesn't appear in the top 20 at the STMP). This isn't by the way a knock at Craig Cook who is a brilliant rider but more a well done to Rene Bach and to the Newcastle promotion for recognising this. Worth every penny again tonight. Well done to Redcar on a hard fought but well deserved victory. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheekycobra Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 A special mention to Wilko's spectacular outside swoops in heat 14 in a cracking race with Rose. Worth the season ticket alone, never mind the entrance fee. Should say actually all 12 riders offered great racing and the track lately has been fantastic and back to its best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
