Coventry V Leicester 19/6/15


Recommended Posts

Good weather for speedway. Overcast but dry all day. Still warm.

 

I think looking at the strengthened Leicester team and the recent form of Hans, Robbo & the absence of Sarjeant, this meeting could be close.

Zengota for bridger I will agree with you but oostergard for masters ? Hall for auty ? Even greenwood for lambert ? In my opinion they are very much weakened especially given the form masters is in !

Looking at the attached list of "Fast Track Riders" the name of Richard Hall does not seem to be on it. Any answers to how he is riding for Leicester tonight?

 

The full list of riders available, in order of ranking, is as follows: Lewis Kerr, Jason Garrity, Kyle Newman, Lewis Blackbird, Stefan Nielsen, Adam Ellis, Ashley Morris, Paul Starke, Joe Jacobs, Tom Perry, Simon Lambert, Steve Worrall, Lee Smart, Ben Reade, Josh Bates, Daniel Halsey, James Sarjeant, Ben Morley, Ben Hopwood, Lewis Rose, Max Clegg, Darryl Ritchings, Dan Greenwood.

Hall on the FTR? Can't make it up surely. Promoting young British riders or battered old war horses....

But it has to be competitive. While it's about bringing on youngsters it also has to allow for competitive teams.

I agree about Masters and Auty (although Hall capable of scoring well)

However after watching both riders against each other in the NL and Leicester in Mid Bowl, I think Greenwood is better than Lambert on his Home track.

Another farce.....Cov reserves 16.Leicester reserves 3.

Let's go back to the Premier this "Elite" League is a crock of dung.

Good to get the 3 points but at times we did make hard work of it. The meeting was closer than the score reflects.

 

The track was a bit gate & go to begin with but got better as the meeting went on.

 

Brilliant again from King and Garrity with JK coming good after early bike problems.

 

Credit to Leicester who rode really well. Zengi & Ulrich were great guests as was Bates for the bees. Doyle was gating and gone he was that fast with only Joonas able to catch him. Walasek seems to ride our track again better than his own (hope we remember that if need a guest😄)

 

Hans looked gutted with himself in the pits. He was winning the race after a good pass before Zengota fell but couldn't find the same answer in the rerun. Hope he can get things sorted though as seems to have no speed.

Robson fought hard for every point tonight. His scores don't reflect the effort he put in and I think that was the reason he got heat 15 (which did surprise a few)

 

Zengi got a great reception from the bees fans. When he came down even though riding for the opposing side their was a gasp in the stands of concern and then the fans applauded him for the whole of his walk back to the pits. Would have him back anytime.

 

Some great friendly banter where we were sat between both sets of fans. 👍🏻

Some great friendly banter between both sets of fans in the stands.

Heard in the stands from somebody who spoke to his sister that his arm is sore & still quite swollen so he did well to ride tonight. He had a lot of bike problems including the engine failure which was annoying. Think he might be trying out too many things but as always can't fault his effort.

Oh I would if he was bad week after week but I think all riders are allowed a couple of off meeting. They are human.

 

Did worry me for a bit though Kingbee when our top 2 were not scoring but luckily we got the win with the rest stepping up.

Bees top two scoring 8 between them, maybe Ward is being sent to Coventry?! ;):D

Don't even joke about it SCB 😁 He would be one of the last riders I would want at Coventry esp in play offs and have a feeling we are one of the last teams he would want to come to.
