Sheffield V Somerset Pl 11/08/2016 7.30


Recommended Posts

Probably our biggest test to date. If Bates and Garrity ride like they did on the tele the other night, throw in Stead, Howarth and co they we are right up against it!

 

I'd be happy with a point. Anything more is a bonus as the meeting hinges on how well Brad and Jake take to Sheffield as first time visitors and who we have at no.7 in place of Zach.

Really looking forward to this 1. If the Tigers can finally click together; no blown engines like last week for Howarth and Berge who both had to switch to spare bikes I can see us winning this. dont think there will be much between the reserves scores together. As a 1 to 5 at Owlerton against the same of Somerset; I'm pretty confident that each one (if on form) will out score the other convincingly. Having said that Somerset are unbeaten all season for a reason and full credit to them for that. I like many others wrote them off at the start of the season.

Would not like to say how this one will go.

 

Somerset for the last couple of seasons have come to Sheffield and turned us over, but I think that we are capable of beating them.

 

But we need everyone has to be at the top of their game and that is something that we have not seen yet this season.

 

Should be a very good close tense meeting.

Another good meeting with some cracking racing. Hope JG and CW are ok - presume that the latter will be out for 8 days if he was withdrawn with concussion.

 

Hat off to Arthur for heat 14, awesome ride to keep second place. Frustrating that we know he can do that, but hasn't done it all season.

 

Steady at his imperious best, Garrity had an ok night by his standards, Bates rode better than his score suggested, just not Howarths night, Berge was Berge, another solid showing and Greaves... Unlucky to not get a point when he decided to shut off rather than to ram Tungate but other than that was just off the pace.

 

Talking of Tungate, did he purposefully shut off to block Greaves or was it a fortunate consequence of him doing something which was arguably dangerous?

A bit of an unusual statement thinking riders should be ramming one another in anybody's book.
