Premier League Riders Championship - Sheffield 6th Sep


Recommended Posts

Dull as dishwater meeting - barely any passing all day & very disappointing all round.

 

Definitely needs to start later - track always seems grippier & produces better racing under the floodlights & when it isn't quite as warm. Been about 10 times this year to Owlerton & that was the worst meeting I've seen!!

 

Cook blew it by not taking red in the final - never give away gate 1 when u have 1st pick unless it's been an absolute graveyard all day.

 

Felt sorry for a few who deserved better. Kennett & Masters for their bike problems & Kurtz for his fall even tho it was his own fault.

 

Picked Wells as my outsider & he looked good all the way thru as did Andersson from Redcar - he was probs the biggest surprise all day.

Nothing on the Rye web site regarding this although I did read that Bowen got hurt at Berwick, why is Maassen missing.

Also injured in a fall, but had another race after. Maybe the injury flared up overnight. Wouldn't worry too much. His 3 point average handicaps us

kevin doolan wud have won it, had he bin allowed

He could've even beat Kennett round his own track.

That's okay if you live close, but it means a very late night / early morning for fans travelling any distance. If you want a night meeting better making it a Saturday.

I'm a sore loser.

Nothing wrong with that.

Just means we are competitive.

 

We can be magnanimous in defeat but still be sore losers.

 

Show me someone who's happy to lose and I'll show you a loser.

 

Anyway - check out the picture - it looks like someone who knows he has blown a good opportunity. It shows no more than that.

Both rider crashed on virtually the same bit of track, Bowen left the track by ambulance as was withdrawn from the meeting, Maasen walked back to the pits after treatment and was able to continue in the meeting.

 

Hope both riders are back very soon.
