Has Kenneth Hansen been sacked yet? It seems when I predicted a 6.5 average for him I seriously over rated him! It looks like when I said he'd have good and bad meeting, he only got the memo about the bad meetings!

As close as expected but reads very much like we got out of jail a bit here tonight?

 

Happy with the 3pts but not with the news about young Greaves, struggling yes, but doesn't deserve that, best wishes Nathan your time will come round again!! :t:

Sadly I am not surprised. He went feet first at high speed into an unprotected part of the third bend fence and word I got was that one ankle was trapped underneath the gate there. Awful.

 

There is a question as to whether Boxall was injured or just couldn't be bothered.

 

Bach deserved a maximum and I was very impressed by Jakobsen - best newcomer I have seen anywhere.

 

I was, not for the first time, disappointed by the attendance. Laura Morgan has tried very hard at Derwent Park and the cost, racing and presentation deserved better.

That's a long way to travel to not be bothered.

I hope it's the former and not the latter. Sadly, it seems to be the same old story as supporters of Somerset, Poole, Belle Vue, Newcastle will testify

That is true but its also a long way to go to pull out of a meeting after one ride and as a result of an existing injury.

 

I hope so too because otherwise it meant that those of us who were there were treated badly by a rider.

 

You could well be right that Boxall's reputation proceeds him. It might easily have been the case that he was injured but because of what has happened in the past noone believes him.

Not sure how to feel about the last two results.

 

Positives

Lead at half way stage at Somerset where 30 is normally an achievement

Robin is back on early season form

Eddie still delivering if only meetings lasted 14 heats

Busk find of the season and I feel there is more in the tank not him overachieving at present

 

Negatives

No points from either match

Boxall, its already been said

Injuries as it seems every year

Greenwood not ready fro Prem

Eddie heat 15

I don't know what it is about Edward and heat 15. You can almost guarantee last place home or away. Not sure if it's just a mental block he has

agree with all you say apart from he it the exit of the 4th bend after the air fence

strangly though theres been many crashed there most famous was chris mills when we had the air ambulance that made sky tv most go straight through but nathans foot looked to go underneath the gate

it happened on the 3rd lap and the previous 2 laps he seamed to hit a patch that lifted him slightly on the 3rd he was slightly wider

If you were a Rye House regular almost every week

Swindon fans used to refer to him as a 'bottler' as he would enevitably fail to deliver at the business end of the meeting. Eventually Rosco rode him at number two so as his last race was in heat 10!!

this was posted on the updates site, not sure how true this is or if it works however.

 

Heat 10: Wells,Aspergren,Covatti,Hansen...66.2 (3-3) 36-26

Line Up: Hansen , Wells , Boxall Aspergren , Covatti

Comments: Aspergren replaces Boxall. Apparently Hansen has to score 6 or less to allow Wethers to go to reserve when Rusty Harrison is back.......
