MrMungo Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Newman is gating like a beast at the moment. If you gate that well, you're always going to score well, wherever you ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratton Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Really enjoyed tonight,Batch passing Bjerre was terrific then Morris beat Rose on the the last bend was great.The track tonight looked really good , better than last week even? Lambert and Rose really impressed me tonight in the mix giving it everything a good night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruiser McHuge Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 DON'T agree ... just look into Tai or Niels's eyes. They are knackered. And never go along with this 'not having their best equipment' argument. Riders don't deliberately have bad bikes in one country or another. At any given time one may not perform as well as another but generally it is the rider not the machine. I have no evidence , but even top riders run to some budget and the bigger money is made abroad so it would make sense that the better bikes are based there...it would be hard and pretty expensive to keep a fleet of superbikes dotted around the world so something has to give..I am sure the bikes here are good, just maybe not quite as good.......and if they were that tired then form would surely be affected worldwide 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Personally think kerr is better than newman but kyle is riding out of his skin and kerr is struggling for whatever reason Oh yeah what a surprise that Newman is doing well & he doesn't have to do anything to win the reserves races let alone ride out of his skin. Newman is gating like a beast at the moment. If you gate that well, you're always going to score well, wherever you ride. Has been pulled up more than any rider in The Elite Lge for jumping the starts & that's let alone the ones he gets away with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Newman will not rise as will want a place in it again next season & no doubt Morris will approve that!!. Â Â Phil Morris will move the riders where promoters want him too, he has already shown that over the Benji Compton farce. Hopefully someone else will take it on next season because this re-draw has been tainted to suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Lynn fans are worrying about this team but as an outsider looking in, its one rider, Kerr. You were banking on him scoring 8 or 9 a meeting and he has been - but as soon as he scores 2 you go from a team capable of 46 to a team only scoring 41. Â Now North has actually come to life in the last month, Swindon actually look like a pretty formidable team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I think Rose compensated for Kerr tonight, the problem was Puk only scoring 4. You'd expect 10-12 from him at Blunsdon plus a few more from Rory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluPanther Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Very good meeting ,the stars are always good value ...Never wanted North but he really has proved me wrong and he's gone from a poor Pl second string to El heat leader . Â For the first time tonight I really felt Swindon could make a run for the title thou we don't match up very well v Poole . For the Stars Puk tryed really hard but could just not make a gate Rory was poor along with kerr but Lambert and Rose looked really looked good . You can in see in Lambert that he getting better and better in each meeting . I did try and tell you guys that he would be a good signing. Robins could well win the play offs if they can make the top 4.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzum Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Troy has his critics and I understand why, but his ride in heat 3 was just superb. North was really quick tonight so quick he caught up with Hans much sooner than either wanted. Â Great night with some frighteningly close racing. Wonderful entertainment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Some excellent racing on a well prepared track, a last heat decider and some top quality presentation=  Cracking meeting  Are you watching Coventry ?  North was superb and I was impressed again with Rose.  A word, too, for Stuart Wilson. In a week that has seen refereeing come under some close scrutiny, he never put a foot wrong.

I was quite frankly amazed the re-run of heat 9 wasn't called back. One of the most uneven starts I've seen in a while! Referee did keep things moving at a rapid pace (which is to some peoples liking) despite a few crashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoombdog Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 whats up with Iversen? Â Hans a good guest so far. Im actually surprised you havent accused Dak of delibrately taking out Hans to scupper your play off bid! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Referee did keep things moving at a rapid pace (which is to some peoples liking) despite a few crashes. Was too much messing around though at the start of each heat.

Â Has been pulled up more than any rider in The Elite Lge for jumping the starts & that's let alone the ones he gets away with. Newman has improved alot this season but kerr is still better and steve worrall is as good as newman too. It is no surprise steve worrall or kerr are doing as well as newman either but rose and greaves are miles better than compton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could tell it was a racing incident. If injured then we have 2 fixtures against lakeside over weekend so surely that wouldn't help Swindon either. .

Referee did keep things moving at a rapid pace (which is to some peoples liking) despite a few crashes.  Must admit I didn't have a good view of the starts. Really? The Met Office and BBC both had the same forecast this morning at 8am! Either way, I made the decision not to go and I'm sticking with it. If it goes ahead and it stays dry, oh well! I won't cry over it.   I looked at lunch time  One thing, though. Never, ever, take their (BBC get their information from the Met Office) word for it - always get a few opinions from other forecast sites.  In my experience, they are very good at forecasting what the weather will be in an hour, and pretty rubbish at forecasting what it will be in a couple of days.

I would be worried though because he has worn his Swindon kevlars the last 2 weeks and celebrated like no guest before him after winning heat 13. Its obvious where he really wants to be. Come the play offs we could be looking at Agent Andersen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
