correy Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Can any one tell me if the pairs at Somerset is happening this year thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Nobody knows for sure yet as none of those type of meeting ( fours , pairs , riders championships ) appeared on the fixtures, but i'd be amazed if it isn't . Though which particular pairs i'm not so sure , whether it's a Premiership Pairs or a Championship Pairs the night before Cardiff . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 If it was the Premiership then Cov v Belle Vue wouldn't have been scheduled for that night. The absence of any CL fixtures on the Friday makes it clear that it is intended to carry on as per previous years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shale Searcher Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Why don't they give it a go as a "BEST PAIRS HANDICAP" meeting? Have pair from Premiership and Championship involved? Rather than have different starting points to differentiate between the riders abilities, add some weight to the Premiership riders bikes? Could be based on their average? Could this type of event work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedball Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Line-up for the SGB Premiership Pairs on March 31 coming together now. Just Belle Vue and Rye House to declare their pairings: Belle Vue: TBCKing's Lynn: Chris Holder & Robert LambertLeicester: Kim Nilsson & Kevin WolbertPoole: Brady Kurtz & Krzysztof KasprzakRye House: TBCSomerset: Rohan Tungate & Patrick HougaardSwindon: Jason Doyle & Nick MorrisWolverhampton: Freddie Lindgren & Jacob Thorssell Would make Swindon the favourites but hoping the Stars duo can give a decent account of themselves.

waiheke1 Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Stars favourites, from swindon/poole. Aces and wolves also capable of coming close. And Somerset well capable of making top 3. Leicester stone cold last imo. Assuming these are the final line ups, and Aces have 2 from cook/fricke/bjerre then I'll go.

The Cheese Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Surprised that Leicester have gone for Wolbert, would be surprised if he beat anyone on that list. If Doyle is fully fit after his injury then I'd make Swindon favourites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Swindon for me followed by Kings Lynn but a Kennett/Harris/Nicholls and a Fricke/Cook/Bjerre line up makes things a little interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) what I love about these pairs meetings is that it's all about avoiding a last place with the 4-3-2-0 scoring system and there are often so many battles going on in the same race. the PL Pairs is always one of my favourite of the season and with the top league pairings this really should be a cracker, Somerset is great for this. I want Kings Lynn to win, but as long as there's great racing I go home happy Edited March 15, 2017 by stevehone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaboy279 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Used to enjoy the 4,3,2,0 points but find it more and more likely that we get a gate infringement or a first bend fall and the spectacle is lost (obviously I mean for semis and final, it does not affect heats at all really.)
