dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 It does seem like incredible bad luck. Best wishes to Kauko for a speedy recovery. Silver linings for the Tigers though are that you managed to replace a 6.5 rider with a 7.3 rider days before he was due to drop to 5.7 followed by replacing the said 7.3 rider days before he dropped to 6.6. So though r/r again may be far from ideal at least its better with r/r for 7.25 rather than r/r for 5.7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highroad119 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 several heart in mouth moments last night, Sarjeant in Heat 1 not clearing the track and putting the other riders and his own safety at risk, Kaukos pass on bend 4, Worrals amazing pass in heat 10 ? and Fishers impersonation of Kasper Lykke coming out of bend 2 nearly taking someones front wheel. Much better entertainment, slickly run, great fun for the kids with their own wee race(which means they pester mum and dad to come back every week!) and getting the use of the floodlights. well done both teams and the promotion. This is the level of entertainment we need to maintain. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharpenRake Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Yeah well I was there yesterday with my "Finnish goggles" on and you honestly couldn't make up how to make it up.

f-s-p Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 I take it everyone else can make sense of this and I'm the won that's thick? = ) It was an interesting meeting... All top three teams were in it as we have 4tt format. Anyways it started as pretty ordinary, Haukat (Kaukos team) were favourite as Kotkat (Aarnios team) were without their number 1 Juha Hautamäki (who's a solid 12 point man in practically every meeting he does over here). Sand Blowers were without Timo Lahti so they were expected to struggle especially since Ludvig Lindgren was on a borrowed bike... After 13 heats, thats 2 thirds of the meeting and the last point where heats are equal (against other teams) before the end the score was SB 26, Kotkat 23 and Haukat 21. Hyvinkää has a 8 PM curfew, but it was still all good when heat 17 was at the tapes, three heats to go and 20 minutes to do it. But no... First Janne Nyman falls entering 1st bend and is excluded. Takes about 5 mins and the rerun. Haukat takes 5-1 and is still with a chance to win. Heat 18 goes 5-1 to Kotkat, they are now on 35 points as their meeting is finished. In the last one Haukat needs 5-1 for a win, 4-2 for a runoff. SB is on 32. 3-3 would give a runoff for the win, anything better they'd win... With still about 10 minutes to go, one heat left. HUGE importance for the whole series for each of the three teams. First try, Lindgren makes the best gate he's done, enters 1st bend and helps his teammate to the fence who falls. Heat stopped, rider hurt, clock ticking. They take their reserve for the re-run, still time to do it, huge importance. Lindgren again makes the gate, hit's front and keeps the inside covered with Kauko coming from behind un-available to avoid contact. He hits LL, highsides and hit's the track. Heat stopped, clock ticking, might even have been ambulance on the track. Kauko receiving treatment, 1 minute to go, meeting called as the planning permission is at stake. Points are Kotkat 35, Sand Blowers 32 and Haukat 31. BUT with 4 teams in the meeting, we go backwards in the standings to what it was after heat 17, when all teams had equal amount of heats ridden. So Kotkat are stripped of their 5-1 in heat 18 and are now down to 30 points! Having entered the meeting well beaten, they pull of a miracle of the year with R/R giving 11 points and are in the shout for winning the meeting. But not. Guess how far the toy's flew... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Glasgow are using R/R for the rider fourth in their averages instead of using R/R for the rider fourth in their averages. How is that "better"?

Bear_Bottom Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 With Worrall and Hall...Doolan and Branford why don't we just get rid of the R/R and have Steve Wilcock and Kenny McKinna and have a proper Bears reunion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
