Ipswich Witches V Sheffield Tigers Monday 4th May


Recommended Posts

A thoroughly enjoyable day out, nice day and a Tigers away win. Must say after Fridays battering at the OTA, I wasn't expecting too much at a track we normally don't go too well at, but the Tigers were superb and very well deserved win. We have been struggling since Steady and David's crash at Rye House and hopefully this will get us back on track.

 

Thanks to Nick Morris for a superb job as guest.

Congratulations to the Tigers who made the most of some dodgy refereeing decisions in the first few heats to get a lead and hold on to it. The Ipswich boys heads apart from Danny & Nico seem to go down. The Tigers then gave the Witches a lesson in gating.
Don't know why the ref didn't stop the first two races after clashes into the first bend and jump starts and clashes in the second. You would think being an ex rider he would know better. Surprised he didn't go round on the victory parade lap with his son Josh. ;)
Surprised to be saying this but Nick Morris made Jason Garrity look super smooth and in control today. How he wasn't excluded when he locked up in front of Rohan and left he nowhere to go but into him. Surprised he only got hit once the way he was riding causing mayhem behind him as riders didn't know which way to go.

Onto the Witches,
Cam hasn't been the same since his crash at Peterborough.
Ritchie just hasn't started at all since his crash.
Was Stefan fully fit after his crash at Sheffield? as he looked awkward on the bike.
Thought Rohan was unlucky today, only one of his two exclusions was his fault.
Danny faultless after his bike problems in heat one.
And what can you say about Nico, carrying on his good form from the confidence of good scores from reserve has given him.
Hopefully Ritchie will get some confidence soon as we need the reserves to be scoring like at the start of the season as we have some catching up to do now.
The only good thing about the result was we stopped the Tigers from taking all four points in the last race.

Covatti was excellent again. The Sheffield fans watching must have wondered where this version of Covatti was last season!

 

It's a good job we have got the current version, because if we had the 2014 version we wouldn't even be competitive!!

Yeah he didn't have a 4 point average for nothing last season, that's how he rode. He rode very well on Monday and like you say good job he did or it would have been a hammering.
