NJC71 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) It was cold out there and the meeting dragged on longer than I would have liked. Also quite a lot of writing for cold hands with both Aarnio and Campton pulling out after one ride. Hard then to draw any real conclusions on either side although relieved to win as it didn't look likely with two heats to go. The Diamonds were very slow out of the gate and Worrall, Lindgren and Kus all had bike problems. Lewis Rose looked a lot leaner than last year and rode very well and Danny Phillips had a decent home debut and looks good enough to pick up points. Lambert made a pleasing start - wasn't gating but made a decent one when it mattered in heat 15. Ludvig needs to get his bike sorted (same old) - not good for him to jump on a rooky reserve's bike and find it's got loads more speed than his own. Hansen was flying out of the start other than making two shockers in heat 15 (race re-run) which made Lambert's task of getting around Wells easier. Wells as ever was excellent here and Pjiper did his job. Nice to see Roynon complete a meeting here without getting badly injured.....just. Really hope he has a clear run this year. Early days but hope Tero can get his knee sorted as he's a vital component as was proved tonight. The main question for me is how often this Diamonds septet will hit the track together. Thursday is a case in point. Ok it's only a challenge but with King's Lynn scheduled to take on Belle Vue we'll presumably be without Lambert, Rose & Worrall, possibly Aarnio as well. Thursday's and Friday's look real problems for the Diamonds and with no less than 7 tracks running on those nights the Diamonds could be resembling a PL select on the road this year.

PaulS Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 It's been a long, long, long winter...glad I could finally take Mrs S to the Speedway again. Having both thawed out now, a few thoughts... Firstly well done to Workington for pushing so hard for a near victory. The sensational performances of Kenneth Hansen and Ricky Wells, plus 3 Diamonds retirements and the loss of key Diamonds man Tero Aarnio, were key factors in tonight's result IMHO. Regarding the Newcastle performance: first of all, good to see a strong debut from our star number 1 Robert Lambert. 13/15, dropping points only to Kenneth Hansen who was on fire tonight, and Ricky Wells who is pretty much sure to be s**t hot around Brough Park amongst other tracks. A pleasing start for Lambert who seems to be on a pretty brutal schedule; and he's likely to improve even further on what was tonight a strong performance in the number 1 race jacket. Rose scored in all of 6 rides, so another strong start for a rider I'm pleased to see in Diamonds colours again this year; I think Rose will kick on this year. Danny Phillips: the lad put a lot of laps of practice in, so it's good to see 4 points on the board on his home debut. Also nice to see Matt Williamson of Workington battle out 2 points in his 6th and 7th races after not getting on the scoreboard in the previous 5. I think the jury is still out on the 3-pointer rule but certainly tonight both of them battled hard and ultimately got on the scoreboard. Matej Kus: rotten luck tonight, especially considering he shed a chain when leading the previously-unstoppable Kenneth Hansen. Welcome to the team Matej - looking forward to seeing you banging in more points shortly. Lindgren: after two second places and a retirement, my favourite Diamonds rider reminded us that 'it's the man not the machine' by easing a restarted heat 14 on a borrowed Danny Phillips bike. Some bad gates but time to work on them and it looked like a lot of the issues were bike-related. At the end of the day if a team has a number 4 as talented as Lindgren then it's not wildly unreasonable to suspect they might win something(s) this season. Worrall had bike issues tonight, but is top-notch and another signing we should be glad to have. The riders mentioned above have a lot of positives - the final piece in the jigsaw (other than riders getting their bikes sorted) would seem to be a fit-again Tero, what a breath of fresh air he was last season... tero now out. all fun and games at rough today . Tero's injury pre-dated today's fixture; nothing to do with Brough park. He rode one heat and realised he couldn't continue. My wife asked me why he seemed so slow to walk up for the parade lap. I said it was probably his steel shoe...well let's just say Mrs S was right and there was more to it than the steel shoe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadrianDog Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I hope terro's knee injury does not turn out to be like jasons and end his speedway Now there's a thought- and not a good one-fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) I hope terro's knee injury does not turn out to be like jasons and end his speedway i agree with you, but i think the nature of the injury is different. Jason could not ride like Tero's first ride last night, after his career ending injury. Fingers crossed tho.

ruffdiamond Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I hope terro's knee injury does not turn out to be like jasons and end his speedway hope its not also, but if its gonna drag on for a while, I don't think we should ponder over it for too long,,,, especially when Plymouth have spare riders and, looks like Sam Samosa would fit perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idanthyrsus Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Don't get to many matches, but saw an entertaining meeting. Not sure about the no 7's. Could be a lot of accidents caused by riders whose courage outweighs their skill or track craft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
