Baldyman Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) He is doing something right, he scores pretty good at Ipswich where if he gates is fast enough to win plenty of races, if he doesn't gate though, don't expect to see him making many passes, think I've counted 2 genuine ones at foxhall. He did race speedway bikes before going road racing, so it's more than 3 years really. Edited April 7, 2015 by baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalSin Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) I think we'll win, but as has been said we need to stop Somerset picking up the point. Unfortunately Stefan Nielsen has had two rides for Belle Vue tonight and has two duck eggs to his name. He's struggling and we need to hope his confidence doesn't take a major nosedive Edit: Make that Three duck eggs. Poor lad is really struggling.

2ndbendbeerhut Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Make or break for the Witches.... let's see the response after a poor away performance and tbh Good Friday wasn't too good either...

Arch Stanton Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) He is doing something right, he scores pretty good at Ipswich where if he gates is fast enough to win plenty of races, if he doesn't gate though, don't expect to see him making many passes, think I've counted 2 genuine ones at foxhall. He did race speedway bikes before going road racing, so it's more than 3 years really. He had a dabble riding junior speedway for a couple of years, but he's only been riding competitive speedway in a professional league for three years and in that short time has attained an average over 8. That's impressive. You don't like watching him, we understand that as you've told us several times. Oh and he wins plenty of races away from home too, not just at Foxhall.

Baldyman Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) I'm not saying reaching an average over 8 isn't impressive, cos you could see when he first came over he could attain that type of average. And now it's reached that's where it's roughly going to stay, again which isn't a bad thing. And he can win races away, on certain tracks if the conditions are perfect for him. Make or break for the Witches.... let's see the response after a poor away performance and tbh Good Friday wasn't too good either... Wonder what this is about : @Mike_Bacon: Interesting thoughts from @ipswichspeedway manager Phil Hilton in tomorrow's @ipswichstar24 newspaper @speedwaystarmag It's probably the normal type of stuff about its early in the season and he has faith in the riders coming good and that sort of thing. That's the normal thing to do after your team has taken a major stuffing and a few riders riding below what they can. On a plus point, although Stefan didn't score a point tonight, it looks like his bike completed 4 laps 3 times tonight, that's got to be a big plus going forward.

ZODIAK Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 This year he has had 8 races away from Foxhall. ..... 1 win! Covatti has 2! Only the one win from his first 8 rides away from home?

2ndbendbeerhut Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Does have a total of 42 from his 94 heats that make up his current rolling ave though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Don't think anyone anywhere has mentioned him being dropped. Does have a total of 42 from his 94 heats that make up his current rolling ave though.....Is that away or both home and away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZODIAK Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Don't think anyone anywhere has mentioned him being dropped. I was quite clearly being sarcastic. We've raced three meetings, I just don't for the life of me understand the point of bringing up the fact he's won one race in 8 away from home. It's a long season. Is Tungate going to be this years scapegoat when things go wrong now that Risager is out of the firing line? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 mine was tongue in cheek but as on phone with a rubbish signal can only do text! Can make stats prove or disprove anything.... 42 wins comes from hone and away fixtures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've raced three meetings, I just don't for the life of me understand the point of bringing up the facts he's won one race in 8 away from home. It's a long season. Back onto rohan, as soon as the weather gets better and tracks tend to be more slick, he will be back to scoring plenty and winning races from the front with ease. Is Tungate going to be this years scapegoat when things go wrong now that Risager is out of the firing line? He will only be that goat if he carrys on the way he has started. The daft thing in a week or so we may have to go to Plymouth to get something to go forward in the cup and it may well be morten that puts us out since he is pretty good there.

He is normally I agree, but he had a bit of a stinker there last week and failed to win a race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomersetBlue Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Think we will run you close if Starkey has a good meeting. The top 5 are more than a match for the witches but Benji is struggling and that is our downfall at the moment.
