Dandelion Posted June 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 According to Twitter he's riding on Sunday.... https://twitter.com/diamondspeedway/status/877253204362350592 So maybe he hasn't broken anything? Or maybe Twitter is assuming, anyway, I'd prefer Steve to be fit and riding, I was just worried he'd be out for a month or so and we'd be stuck with R/R with Ludvig, Rose and Ashley taking rides.....

diamond_ren Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 It has in the SS this week that Lindgren's poor home form recently is because he is struggling to get the right set up at present for brough. So after riding Newcastle since 2013 he still doesn't know the right set up for the place? We hear the same excuses spouted out season after season. Yet the management put up with it all the time it's just not good enough. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That answers the home problems , what's his excuse for his away performances ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert, by any stretch of the imagination, but, if he's riding a different make of engine this year, will that not mean the set up has to be different? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamond_ren Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 That answers the home problems , what's his excuse for his away performances ? He's just not very good? I'm no expert, by any stretch of the imagination, but, if he's riding a different make of engine this year, will that not mean the set up has to be different? Quite possibly yes. But he's had poor spells at home in recent seasons so what's the excuse for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gating tart Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Lindgren has used the GRT all season apart from last week so he should have a set up by now ! its not excuse he used a GTR last year in the PLKOC so it isn't new to him he's had plenty of time on one ! I think it's time he stopped blaming his equipment and looked at himself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gating tart Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Riders always decide the set up of the bikes so can't blame the mechanic ! But hopefully he can get in the points this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Max Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Stevie, among other things, discusses his wrist injury here: http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=100736 So he clearly states he didn't want to ride at Newcastle as it may have meant he made injury worse and would have to miss British Final !! Clarifies what most thought about the whole episode!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
