hackneyrocket Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 One thing most people seem to forget or don't understand is at the speed Ben was going it's hard to turn the bike if someone is up the inside of you. So it's into the fence or lay the bike down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffeboy Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Enjoyable first meeting for me this year,good to see Shads and also Sid who bought me up to all the changes at Rye. Things certainly are looking up at the moment with lots of improvements being made. Good match with some good action best of the bunch being heat 7 with Robbo and Starkey passing each other for fun with Robbo just getting the edge on the run to the line. Very good show from the Rebels with every rider except Zach being paid for at least one win. BWD was the stand out performer for me closely followed by Wrighty ( lightening out of the gate then good speed ). Jake did well on his first visit and was unlucky with his fall when comfortably in first place in heat 8. Starkey also was well on the pace and with Wrighty easily outclassed their opposite numbers in the Rye team. Rohan was good when he gated, but you did not think he would pass anyone, disappointing heat 9 when Brad went past both Rye guys and he finished last. For Rye Eddie was different class and Robbo came to the party late on, Heeps and Lanham didn't impress me much,they need to up their game I think. All in all good match with good racing .

So it's into the fence or lay the bike down. I wasn't there, but from that view point you give the impression that nobody can overtake as they might get in the way a little bit. Yeah I know but I was wondering wether it could have had the classification changed as both teams had no guests, the abnormality was the T/R but don't tell Scunny. We should of had Starke and no idea where Gjedde was for Plymouth. Apparently TRs are allowed but somebody just cocked up the rule book and haven't bothered to update it!
