bigcatdiary Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Name a big track in the country that isn't "gate and go nowadays" it's the norm.2-3 decent races a night .Slick tracks all round nowadays I'm afraid.

LisaColette Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Holder is only just Poole number one!Shouldn't Hans have been no1 in last few weeks or so as his average was slightly higher in the meeting programme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Peterborough i think that's largely because they don't make it slick. Shouldn't Hans have been no1 in last few weeks or so as his average was slightly higher in the meeting programme. Good point but Holder is higher on BSPA site.

Aces51 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 He was never the no 1 in the PL averages never an outright PL no 1 is averaging around the 7 point mark in the EL.I have always rated him more so of the way he rides style wise also he has a good temperment.This year in the WTC he coped easily and he has been superb in Poland which is bloody tough.Also Mockinjay" not everyone i speak to rate him the jury still out for some for me i rate him highly. Max is 20 so not really spent the time to be a slow burner. This has been a breakthrough year for Max. His form was excellent everywhere prior to his injury in the SWC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Great win for swindon, should have been more of a knobbing for poole. Doyley and tunny excellent. Looked to be good racing, superb heat 15. Watched it at my stepsons in ireland, he had never seen it before and the swindonian loved it. If all the robins can click at once can beat anyone. Onwards to the black n gold country manchester and essex and hopefully grab that play-off place. Go Roobins!

His form was excellent everywhere prior to his injury in the SWC.What i mean Aces he has not done a Lee, Ward, Smarzlik,burst onto the scene and was always going to be World Class a few people are still not totally convinced with him.I put him in the same mould as Puk,Doyley,as someone who has learned his apprenticeship at Edinburgh which is great grounding and is improving year on year.How many people on this forum hand on heart really believed Max would end up world class.?

Ovalman Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) I'll have a £20 bet that Poole win Steve & the loser donates it to the Ben Fund if you're that confident?. You haven't watched these riders go from good to bad in each meeting with no-one having a clue what they're going to do from week to week. Hope you pay up chap. That Shovlar geezer, bit of a dorset knob at times and ex swindon fan, was pretty spot on. At least half of Roobins fans on here were pessimistic.

Ovalman Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Cant believe some people thought it wasnt topnotch sport, watched football, gaelic football, and other sports this weekend, incomparable to the speedway at blunsdon. Follow snooker or f1 instead. Edited August 23, 2016 by auntie doris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Flag Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I totally agree! It's only enhanced because it's virtually always Wolves riders making the moves a bit like Lakeside where it contains so many errors by away riders coming off the corners or riding the 1st corner too wide or too narrow leading to over the top responses from people , makes me think of Scalextric speedway! Quick slow quick slow off the track etc etc Years ago riders rode away tracks once a year if that and always struggled on tracks that didn't suit them,in modern times most riders ride away tracks several times a year and then change teams to ride at a different home track, in my opinion an average rider with a fast motor can ride any big track takes a clever rider to ride small and big tracks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney the robin Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Years ago riders rode away tracks once a year if that and always struggled on tracks that didn't suit them,in modern times most riders ride away tracks several times a year and then change teams to ride at a different home track, in my opinion an average rider with a fast motor can ride any big track takes a clever rider to ride small and big tracksIf you are an average rider with a fast motor it is still not easy to ride the big tracks.I know a few riders over the years who had reasonable aquipment but often still scored poorly at the big tracks.

theblueboy Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Was unable to attend Monday due to work, so thank you to racers and royals for posting the link. Â Good result from The Convicts who have put the play offs firmly back in their grasp in the last week. Looked a bit tight when Poole had heat advantages in 12 and 13 but luckily Tom Daley made up for his poor effort in Rio last week with a beautifully timed dive in 14 to seal the points. Â Doyle led from the front and superbly supported by Tunners. Well done to Tunners - I wanted you gone a month ago because you weren't doing the business but you are on fire. Keep it going my son!

Col Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 No offence to Swindon but whatever you say, having just watched last nights broadcast give me Woffinden missing the gate and putting the bike "into reverse" in the corners over much of what was on offer at Blunsden. Not the most entertaining of matches for a neutral. Tungate was superb for the Robins, but if they are to do anything in the playoffs which I suspect they'll make can they replace Neilsen & Sedgeman? If not they'll get blown away. Very disappointing performance from Buczkowski for Poole I expected more of him. Byawne is just there to get 6 points from the reserve races, he was his usual mobile chicane other than that. Doyle bottling heat 13 was almost as funny as Byawne going from first to last and Anderson throwing his bike on the shale in the hope of a heat 15 rerun. Â Great ride from Doyle to pass the Monster Energy Once Was in heat 15, made up for his heat 13 mistake. Â Anderson is half the rider he used to be. Still think he could have been World Champion in 2006 if he'd been given a Wildcard that year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 He's 20 years old... He's a 3 time Under 21 Champion in his own country, been second in his Natinonal Champiomship and is currently on course to be a World Under 21 Champion, there is nothing "slow burning" about that irrespective how highly some rate him or not. The only reason he didn't become a PL Number 1 is because he left the league early and raced in an exceptional strong side, he would have had to have an 11 point average to be a Number one in his PL side - while he was there he won the Pairs and was a key figure in that dominant side, the term you are looking for is "slipped under your radar" as he arrived with a massive reputation and was touted as a "future world champion" upon arrival to the country I knew about him long before he come over here and lets be honest it was not rocket science the whole speedway world knew about him.All i will say is i dont know you from Adam thank god, i have never heard YOU once say over the years that you rated him that he was going to be a star.Also not everybody rates him you know,some have the opinion that some of the Aussie riders of his era have a better longterm future than him.As for you are you another one who has changed his identity endless times on this Forum i think so.

Pinny Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Fricke was well known to be hot property before he debuted with Edinburgh, he was doing second halves i think the season before.
