Somerset Vs Scunthorpe 22/5/15


Recommended Posts

I think Charles Wright race with Barker has to go down as the race of the season so far.

Heat 14 against Rye House was pretty special too.

 

There seems to be more passing and re passing this season. The recent heavy home wins certainly don't reflect the standard of racing.

Heat 13, how did Barker stay on!!! Love him or hate him, he always tries 100%

I think he also enjoys being the "pantomime villain" He was smiling broadly as he received his traditional booing from the Somerset faithful on parade.

for me you don't boo any rider,even if you don't like them,

Benji did ok to be fair. 1 point wasn't ideal but after been off for 3 weeks and turning up with a new bike and engine he'll get stronger now. He needs to get a full meeting in his number position without been taken out of his rides every 2 minutes.

only gets taken out of rides because he's not doing the business,I know it's a job to get set ups right as well,but benji seems to be lacking flat speed Edited by coomie

I think personally he could have a jet engine in his bike, but if he doesn't have the style to ride our track he will never be of any use to us. He just doesn't look at all comfortable.

We'll see how he gets on but I will say we were at Scunthorpe yesterday morning practising to get the bits sorted and I'm fully aware of the the issues that needed changing to get him upto speed.

I have also offered to hire the Somerset track for the day for him for private practise but it's not possible.
