All the best Rob you could argue that your post should replace "despite" with "helped by" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothers Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 you could argue that your post should replace "despite" with "helped by" Nope, let's be fair. Alex Davies averages 5 points around the STMP. His 4 programmed rides tonight provided 5 points. Therefore the only difference was that Lunna/Wilson may have been free to take other replacement rides for example instead of ...... er. Hold on I'll get my coat!

Ok making the stats work for my argument - Reserves replaced Davies in three of his rides so by scoring 5 points they actually averaged 6.66 - Davies got 0 from 1 averaging zero on the night However I was basing my comment on the evidence of opening rides - Davies was that far behind in last place that I, and many others never saw him come off as we were looking at front three!! Wilson and Lunna were arguably the best and most consistent Scorpions on show Should have added - Best wishes to Alex, hope he hasn't picked up an injury, or too sore this morning Edited July 3, 2015 by northyorksbear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothers Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Davies was that far behind in last place that I, and many others never saw him come off as we were looking at front three!! Yep I missed it too! Seen nothing to the contrary so it looks as though Davies is ok and only feeling a bit second hand. Hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Alex Davies must have withdrawn from more meetings this season than any other rider by quite a long way. Is he that wild and out of control? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he that wild and out of control? Sorry I've no axe to grind here being a Redcar fan, but where is your evidence for this statement? I can see one meeting where it was reported that he suffered a thumb injury, but that was in his fourth ride anyway. Seems to me he's completed every meeting that he started.

I'm sure he's pulled out of 4 or 5 meeting now. I may be wrong, I've not check any figures and it's based on memory only. edit > just checked. Looks like I've been a little harsh. This is his 3rd with drawral but one of them an opposing rider was excluded for taking him out. Edited July 6, 2015 by SCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
