mdmc82 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) esday June 21, 2016 COVENTRY are back to Elite League business after a break of over a fortnight when they travel to Kings Lynn on Wednesday (7.30pm). Its the start of an important series of fixtures for the Buildbase Bees, as they go into a run of matches against sides not currently in the top three of the league table. Kings Lynn and Coventry are level on 16 points going into the meeting at the Adrian Flux Arena, although the Stars do have three matches in hand. Bees are still chasing their first away win of the season, but the Norfolk venue was the scene of their closest match on the road so far, as they went down narrowly 44-46 in April and collected a league point. That was the meeting which featured the heavy Heat 14 pile-up involving Kacper Woryna and Rory Schlein, but on a happier note Bees No.1 Krzysztof Kasprzak scored a faultless 15-point maximum. Bees will hope for more of the same from the Polish star along with skipper Chris Harris and newly-crowned British Champion Danny King, who could be in line for an extra ride on the night. That is because Jason Garrity is a major doubt for the meeting as he is still suffering problems with his arm following a second crash, this time at Leicester last Saturday, and it may well be that he has to sit out racing this week. Should the rider-replacement facility be in operation, that would also potentially give extra outings to Josh Bates who rode well at Kings Lynn on Saturday in the first round of the World Under-21 Final, scoring 12 points. The home side are effectively at full strength as squad rider Kai Huckenbeck has been their preferred choice throughout the season, and they have opted to track an in-form Simon Lambert at reserve in preference to Carl Wilkinson. Coventry manager Gary Havelock said: We do need to win away, and I guess Kings Lynn coming up gives us a chance we went close there last time, so thats a possibility. This season we have quite a few riders who tend to ride better on the bigger tracks, KK for one and his 15-point maximum there in April was a sensational performance. We certainly go into the meeting as always with the optimism that we can get something out of it. KINGS LYNN (from): Troy Batchelor, Kai Huckenbeck, Niels-Kristian Iversen, Mads Korneliussen, Robert Lambert, Simon Lambert, Lewis Rose. BUILDBASE BEES (from): Josh Bates, Jason Garrity (or R/R), Chris Harris, Krzyztof Kasprzak, Danny King, James Sarjeant, Kacper Woryna. ----- So will Rose be back at reserve then if Kai can't ride at reserve as a no 8?

SCB Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Neil, can you explain how Kai Huckenbeck will ride at number 2? His averages is lower than that of Lewis Rose so surely Rose rides at 2 and Huckenbeck at 6 or 7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His averages is lower than that of Lewis Rose so surely Rose rides at 2 and Huckenbeck at 6 or 7? Because Huckenbeck is declared as their number 8 which means he can only replace a member in the main team and ride at 1-5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shale Searcher Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Hmmmmmmmmmm.... Potential weather issues... A plume of moist, warm air from the continent will be advected over south east, and east UK starting tomorrow afternoon.. severe Thunderstorms, and heavy rain are a distinct possibility for tomorrow evening... All depends how far east it all kicks off tomorrow, it it shifts slightly east, Kings Lynn will be safe.. should be predictable around noon tomorrow...

heathen chemistry Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 No. Can only replace a non-EDR. not even if injured for one match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Cheetah Snr Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 So you get a reserve who can have seven rides who has an average which should put him in the main team. Yet another brilliant Rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I'm hoping for a good close meeting. It's so long since we last road I'm starting to loose interest and that's without all the usual squabbles, silly rules, poor guests, no guests, RR no RR, national league riders in the main body, FTR rules, future of the stadium....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Because Huckenbeck is declared as their number 8 which means he can only replace a member in the main team and ride at 1-5 You have got it arse backwards. Thats like saying, "All pregnant people are women so all women must be pregnant". The rule is a #8 can only replace a 1-5 rider. Not a #8 can only ride in the 1-5. Now I'm happy to concede that is EDRs stay EDRs even in the 1-5 (for guest purposes) then a 1-5 rider in reserve is STILL a 1-5 rider. So Kai can replace Busk-Jakobsen but where in the rules does it say he then has to ride in the 1-5? It doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Can anyone shed any more light on the issue with Kacper? Talk is that it was a problem with his polish club (similar to Wozniak) meant to have been sorted now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought it rather odd to put something up on the Coventry website without a bit more background to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Wouldn't it be nice, if just for once, there wasn't any issues about who is riding where, and each team was able to field their stongest team, instead of all this legality of EDR, Reserves, No 8's; RR. What a mess !!!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Hopefully the track will be better than in the u21s as seems very gate & go lately which isn't gonna help us as our riders like to race. With Robert Lambert riding as a 2nd string & mainly against our reserves & Sarj, I will expect him to clean up. He has been very impressive lately.

Yes, Robert lambert is going well and will score points from whatever position he is riding. He is one of the few good members of our team. Along with Niels they are the main points getters in the team. I noticed you didn't mention Troy Batchelor who as of yet, has failed to impress. I wonder how much longer it will be before he recaptures the form he once showed.... Whatever happens tonight, we will need a full team. For us to win, Troy has to come to the party........

speedibee Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 No team news yet. Does anybody know how Garrity is? He guested for Leicester on Sat but withdrew due to the injury from the British Final. For King's Lynn: Iversen, Batchelor & Mads are heatleaders, Lambert & Rose 2nd strings and then either Wilkinson/Simon & Kai/Jacobsen at reserve. For Coventry: Kaspazak,Harris & King are heatleaders, Garrity(if fit) & Sarjeant are 2nd strings and then Woryna & Bates are at reserve. Big ask for Sarjeant in the main team esp when he's been inconsistent at reserve & PL. good luck to him. No team news yet. Does anybody know how Garrity is?

Silver Cheetah Snr Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Biggest ask for Sarj is to sit still at the gate. But he does sit still at the tapes, it is that sometimes he goes a little early. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's lowering his average to come back to Swindon to replace Tungate Only joking - I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
