Icicle Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Seems that Tungate has taken on the "Morten mantle", I.E. Can score (often not enough), rarely make a passing move, & seems to ride 1 line all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZODIAK Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Hawkins is a far bigger issue! Been absolutely dire all season long and needs to go, now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Rolling aves for July: King 9.45 Covatti 7.07 Tungate 6.96 Heeps 6.23 Manzares 5.56 Nielsen 3.91 Hawkins 3.56 Interesting to note for Manzares to reach his 7 ave (bored sunday afternoon) there are 13 matches to end of season, so the last 7 count towards his final ave. scored 48 from 36 5.33 assuming he rides in all 13 remaining fixtures and has 4 rides, thats 52 rides. 52 + 36 = 88 rides in total. pts / ride (* 4) = cma pts / rides = 1.75 as we know rides and cma ? / 88 =1.75 or 88 *1.75 = pts 154 So Gino has already scored 48 from his first 7 matches... leaving 106 pts from his remaining 13 or 8.16 points per match! Gonna be hard and not helped by riding at 2! Edited June 21, 2015 by 2ndbendbeerhut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewy Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Manzares needs to be hitting a 7pt ave to retain his visa for next season I beleive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Is there an equivalent to the 'top 4 in a state title' eligibility criteria for Americans?Just the U.S. national title. TBF, he should be good for top 4 in that you'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Manzares needs to be hitting a 7pt ave to retain his visa for next season I beleiveor gain a suitable state champ position. Or of course if he has a multi year contract/visa then it is only on expiry that the criteria has to be hit in the preceeding season. averages don't lie. Rohan and Hawkins big dropsand of course this has cancelled out any advantage we couldve had with Nico's rise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I thought I read somewhere that for Gino it was to have qualified State/National championship wise within the last 2 seasons , so now he needs to hit that magic 7 average or will need to finish in the top 4 in the American championship to return to Britain next year . I stand to be corrected of course . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Gino won the western states championship held at san bernandino in 2013. In 2014 only the california and new york meets took place it seems of about a dozen that have been run at various times over the years.

Baldyman Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I didn't think gino would take to the very banked circuit today, I couldn't have been more wrong. Even when he was out gated he made some sweeping first turns right up the banking. Stefan also rode very well today and made some great starts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something sticks in my head about Gino riding in the Aus state titles as an overseas rider a couple of years ( or more? ) ago as well but even if he got top 4 in that I take it that it wouldnt count!

Gino probably would have scored more too if it wasn't for a snapped foot rest in his first race 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie310 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Hi, first time poster. Don’t get to as many meetings as I’d like these days but first visit to Foxhall was in 1971. Moved to post by this weekend’s narrow away defeats, which just make the home form even more frustrating! Hawkins has clearly not recovered from crashing on the first night of the season but Tungate is as big a problem for me. In all competitions, Witches have now lost 8 meetings by 7 points or less so far this season – including the 2 home disasters against Sheffield and Newcastle! In those meetings, Tungate has scored 4, 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, 7 and 5. Surely just not good enough for a heat leader? He’s simply not reliable when the score gets close, and doesn’t seem able to cope with the physical demands of the sport. Long post to state the obvious, but his form has been annoying me all season! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
