Alan_Jones Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 We'll done to Morely sounds like there was more dirt in the car park ,heard Ellis was the fastest on show but there was nothing there for him to make passes. Do Rye own the rights to this meeting , might be a better spectacle at somewhere like Birmingham. Junior You heard wrong then. He'd have done better if he stopped chasing back wheels, almost causing grief to himself and others, and made some genuine attempts to pass which other riders managed. Well done to Ben Morley, a long overdue result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Doesn't sound a lot different ,maybe Silver should bitumise it doesn't sound like he waters it anyway. Junior Again, you weren't there. Where did you get this information? As Ben,s grandad I feel so proud of him.15point max you can,t do better than that..so many times the bridesmaid in the past but it all came good tonight.Congratulations also to his mum and dad who help to keep his bikes in top condition,,and all those who have supported him with so much enthusiasm.... Another example of why the 20 heat formula works so well. He could've easily been outgated or suffered bike problems had there been semis and a final. The best rider over 20 heats wins the trophy 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countershaftcounter Posted September 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Been to Rye house two or three times this year and there always seems to be a bit of dirt to be able to work with but what happened tonite ? It was smooth as a babies posterior ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 I think ellis' tactic when behind was to scare the rider in front however it didn't work on Ayres / Morley his crash on that last turn could have been far worse he was very lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8scot Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Was there never supposed to be a semi and final or did they run out of time? Really great to see the highest scorer on the night win ...... IMO that's how it should be Congratulations to Ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 The.riders told me there was plenty of dirt early on. But as the meeting progressed they had to move out wide to find it..This is pretty much the norm at most speedway meetings.and I would suggest that the riders know what they are talking about...

arnieg Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Can I join the list of posters disagreeing with junior fan. There were some good races, it was possible to pass. Morley and Branford were always going to be difficult to beat given their familiarity with Rye, and Ayres finished his season on a high. And Armo - what a character. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scare ?? What a weird statement. Btw. I was on the last corner and Morley ( well deserved winner) did pull a massive locker. Adam did well not to hit him.

TurnTwo Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Scare, he tries showing them a front wheel and moves them off the line as he did too young Zach yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countershaftcounter Posted September 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Scare, he tries showing them a front wheel and moves them off the line as he did too young Zach yesterdaySo his "tactic" to "scare" other riders is by "showing them his front wheel"? What's he supposed to do, send them a polite email asking if it's ok to overtake ? Or just do a Niki P and barge them out of the way ?

waco Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Attacking riders are not trying to scare the rider in front they are trying to put them under pressure to make a mistake...Adam and Ben are both class acts at this level and have great respect for one another,having been team mates at Lakeside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Funny how different supporters see things I was told Morley pulled a big locker and Ellis did well to miss him . Junior Again, you're making comments without actually seeing the meeting. Morley was racing on the outside line, taking the line Ellis had been riding all meeting. Ben then switched inside on the last bend to block Ellis's run. Perfectly legal move and shows a good speedway brain. I've always thought of Ben as a bit of a white liner, but he's come on leaps and bounds on yesterday's showing. His bike looked pretty quick which always helps. Deserving winner, no doubt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Totally agree with Shads on this,some people are confusing a locker,or unwanted lock up,with a controlled cut back regularly used by Ben as a tacticle move.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipper11 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 There should be no doubt Morley was the best rider and deserved the win. As said, in the final heat there didn't seem to be more than 2 bike lengths between them with Morley taking Ellis preferred outside line virtually all race then switching to hug the inside line on the last bend to block Ellis inside move, brilliant race from both of them. Roll on the nlrc AT Rye House next year I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
