Kings Lynn V Sparta Wroclaw 18.03.16


Recommended Posts

We made the trip over to watch a very impressive meeting, was warned to watch out for Drabik what an impressive 18 year old. Very disappointed that heat 16 didn't turn out to be as described in programme the top two scorers from each team! So much so we decided to walk back to the car to get a head start on the drive home only to find the Car Parking Martials Idiots and yes I know there only volunteers had parked the cars in rows of three deep!!!!! Give us Peterborogh parking any day.

i have never parked in the car park at Kings Lynn, usually park in the industrial estate but would agree Peterborough parking is better.

The parking mafia at Swindon tried that but the majority of car owners told them to get stuffed and parked sensibly in rows of two.

Pretty sure he averaged 10 at home one season. That said unless he was clear coming out of the second bend he wouldn't win the race, would shut off if he got near anyone. But if he hit the front he was so fast.

Thought 10 but then thought it was too extreme.

 

Handy as a second string i suppose though!!

 

Remember him starting at Sheff in 99, could hardly turn the bike at newport and looked about 6 years old! Very good gater tho

I made a 6 hour round trip to see this meeting and thoroughly enjoyed it, it was great to see Tai come out to be interviewed and say thanks at the end of the evening. Wroclaw were exciting to watch and some of their "tactics" reminded me of how tough the sport used to be, great show considering the early rain and the temperature. Well done to all concerned.

Cold night (again), but a good meeting with plenty of good racing, particularly Tai's pass of NKI.....there was no room!

 

Shame there wasn't as many Polish supports as the previous pre-season meeting as they added quite a bit to the atmosphere.

 

Meeting moved along at a good pace until heat 10, but disappointed things slowed down to more normal pace during the second 'half' as it killed the momentum somewhat. Chap on the mike was quite good (best since MB), but the parade was a shambles.

 

Promising signs from all the Stars riders ahead of the league next week.

 

Lewis Rose didn't score well, but was on the pace - he should find life a bit easier against some of the other EL reserves. Huckenback continues to impress. Engine room of Mads and Rory looking good. Niels impressive as ever, wasn't sure if he was slowing a bit as Drabik tried to come underneath him - could have been much worse, but he seems to have got away without too much damage. Lambert has carried on where he left off last season, if only he could get out of the gate more consistently life would be so much easier for him. Wilko is gonna be a strong senior reserve for us this season, an able replacement for the other half of Team Lewis.

 

Be interesting to see how this team goes against EL opposition. Think'll they hold their own against most teams, but will be interesting the effect of NKI/Troy switch. Troy can be a great no.1 rider on his day but lacks consistency and domination of Niels. Time will tell....

"how tough the sport used to be"- it still is in the Polish League. Edited by racers and royals
