Newcastle 2015


Recommended Posts

Christian is struggling with confidence and hasn't returned from the crash at Scunny the same rider.

Anton is playing catch up and has not got dialed in and is suffering from lack of racing, no Tuesday night in Sweden and only 3 Thursday's so far.

Simon relies on his gating and isn't making enough starts and very rarely passes anyone.

Lewis Kerr lacks consistency, not trapping as well as last year, and his average dropped whilst at no 1 but goes up at number 3, so expect it to pick up now.

Ludvig suffering from inconsistent race track and lack of grip on outside. Never a gater so gate and go track for most of season not helping. Good team spirit and always around his team mates in the pits. I believe has found ignition problem with bike on Sunday, so hopefully more speed for next week.

Lewis Rose is in the wrong place at the wrong time. He has blown his engines 2 in last week, bent bikes before Monday and was low in confidence. Batch has lent him an engine for big tracks which he is trying to raise money to buy it, difficult when not scoring points, and I believe on Sunday he was using Ludvigs engine which took him a couple of rides to get used to. He looked a different person after the meeting so Monday was a real downer in more ways than one. ( starke never even went over to see how he was by the way ).

Stevie was always going to be the better of the twins and he will kick on from here. At number 1 his ave dipped a little , at number 3 it went back up and now I believe he is more ready to stay at one than he was at start of the season. Great trapper and quick when in front.

Cannot find anyone who can fill our spare points but would consider 28 days of Hawkins till Rose is back rather than Konopka guesting as every one else is below Lew Rose average.

Lewis Kerr withdrawn from Kings lynn meeting tonight after falling and pushing home for a point

I hope it isn't too serious. The 'Diamonds' can ill afford to lose any more Riders through injury.

Those wanting a change have now got it.

Not really the change I was looking for!!!, Does he make us any stronger, no not really. This reminds me of the Jamie Smith incident, I'm sure he got injured, was replaced and then didn't want to come back/didn't come back, hope the same does not happen with Rose as would be a shame to lose a good talented English rider from our team.

 

Looking at weather forecast for Sunday, might not get to see Aarnio make his debut.

 

Interesting to see the scores for Ludvig, Simon and Anton last night, clearly shows nothing wrong with them or equipment so to me clearly shows the track at Brough needs sorting out, looks like we need a bit more material on the outside line for them to prosper. We appear to have no home track advantage, further cemented by the Sheffield result.

I find it encouraging that Mr. Hedley is talking about next year too.

 

Good luck to Tero too.

 

Best wishes to Lewis as well. In my opinion Newcastle should do everything they can to hang on to him. I think he could be a real talent.
