Recommended Posts

Only bad luck for him. But he hasnt technically ridden for Sheffield.... So would a guest be allowed?

Yes because the team is declared and registered with BSPA acceptance. As its a challenge match against Leicester doesn't mater

I have never thought Bates is in control of the bike watching him ride,the bike is taking him round most of the the time.

 

After seeing him at Sheffield last season I don't agree.

 

he improved as the season went on and looked very much in charge the longer the season went on.

 

pulled off some very good overtaking moves

 

 

any of you that were obviously there last night want to describe exactly what happened?

only thing I can see to go on is that both Josh and Simon racing and passing and re passing and Josh picked up some unexpected grip crashed taking Simon with him unfortunately.

Got agree with on Josh.

I had a pretty good view of it as I was on the back straight near the exit to the second turn.

 

I thought it was a stupid move by Bates. Stead was only a short distance from the kerb but Bates tried to go through it, picked up grip and wiped Stead out, Stead clattering into the unprotected part of the safety fence.

 

It would have been unnecessary if it hadn't been the captain of his own team who has just returned from serious injury.

To my mind a rider should be ready for grip, it shouldn't be unexpected.

Kings Lynne is a bogey track for Sheffield.

 

In 2013 Steady busted his ankle there when he only went down to try out some new machinery, causing him to miss half the season.

 

In 2007 there was the infamous 75 - 15 scoreline, when Andre Compton went out in Heat one and went a***e over t*t into the fence on the first corner, claiming afterwards that the track was so slippery he couldn't get the bike to turn.

 

I always have my heart in my mouth when Sheffield riders visit KL and, it seems, not without just cause.
