Crazy robin Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Truly shocked by Ellis and Bellegos scores. Honestly expected them to be the other way around. Other than that, is anyone really surprised? Not me & the score line flatters Swindon big time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestGorton1884 Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I'm not. When bjerre moves to number 1 we can a more settled look about the riding order. Â Takes the pressure of max at number 3. I have to say though, as good as he is, I don't think this country is his priority 4 points though ?, thats poor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyderd Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Great start to the season for the Aces, I said it last season and I'll say it again. Â After all the bad years propping up the league, now is a great time being an Aces fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Good away win for The aces Shows how good this team could be this season when Fricke scores 4 and they still win away so nothing to do with the fact that Ellis failed to score and 10 points between 3 other Swindon riders. If BV were that good they should have won by more! Â Well done BV - an expected win and result never looked in doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Looking at the comments on Facebook and updates it looks as if there was very little passing. Good result for the Aces with another solid team performance, nice to see our inexperienced reserves picking up points and that Steve Worrall seems to be continuing his year on year improvement.

acef Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 4 points though ?, thats poor Yes and no. It's a tough gig at number 1. Signing bjerre was a masterstroke, because he will become the number 1 and be equally as good as Zagar, if not better. The quicker we get him there, the better. This team will start winning meetings more convincingly because tonight we blew that. Should have been 4 points. Â Max will score what bjerre did from 3, but the critical difference is Kenneth will still score those 10 points at number 1. Â I'm very happy with the start. The young reserves are chipping in already, if they can average 8-10 between them each meeting the top 5 will do the rest. What's really encouraging is they have both won a heat/been paid for a heat. The potential is there. Â I think this team is really going to fly in the 2nd half of the season. so nothing to do with the fact that Ellis failed to score and 10 points between 3 other Swindon riders. If BV were that good they should have won by more! Â Well done BV - an expected win and result never looked in doubt. I see your argument. I think we were guilty of packing up after heat 12. Poor attitude. Â Need to fix that moving forwards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If BV were that good they should have won by more! Â Well done BV - an expected win and result never looked in doubt. In all fairness though, I wouldn't expect Your reserves or BWD to score much between them. They scored close to their average. Ellis I would expect a bit more. That is down to how weak the team has been built. Â Fricke is much better than 4pts so would have expected him to score more as has the potential to.

That is down to how weak the team has been built. Fricke is much better than 4pts so would have expected him to score more as has the potential to. Just following that logic - You expected Fricke to score more than 4 (and has the potential to) and also Ellis to score more than 0. However it shows how good BV are that they just managed to beat a team that you admit is weak the way it has been built  Really not strong logic there. Another way to look at it is the fact that such a weakly built team who had a team member who was expected to score and actually failed to score nearly managed to beat such a strong BV team!

Speedy swindon pete Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Not an overly surprising result, was always going to be tight. You could say BV got the cigars out when the match was won in heat 12, but when there's an extra point up for grabs, that's no excuse. What actually happened was probably how Rosco would hope this season would go, blowing teams away in heat 13 and 15. The only hope we have this season is if we can somehow hang on in the first 12 heats, then finish it off in the last 3. A few points from Ellis would probably swung that, Fricke not scoring as he could have...probably all evens out. Â Racing was pants in the most part, couple of decent Ines towards the end. Match race between Bjerre and Doyle pick of the bunch. Refs useless as ever. Worrall touches the tapes, not chucked out. Grondal's clutch twice chucks him off the bike before the tapes have gone up, should be excluded for delaying the start, but wasn't in either. Rollers all night. Useless, where do they get these idiots from? Â Morris and Bellego looking very racey, should be good to watch this season. Â Not going to get wound up about not winning matches this season. It's not like this is a legitimate competition any more. Just entertain us. Edited April 6, 2017 by Speedy swindon pete 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyabb17 Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Shock you've jumped all over Swindon within one meeting. Ellis had a stinker. These things happen.

SPEEDY69 Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Shocked by Max Fricke score as well !! Â I'm not. He was poor away from Belle Vue last season and although the league is weaker, why should this one be any different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he's a quality rider. Â But I also think the UK is his bottom priority. In Poland and Sweden he flies.

Col Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Well Belle Vue do probably have the most consistent top 5, not a surprise Swindon dropped points at home if Morris & Doyle are not imperious which they need to be. What was wrong with Ellis? Nice to see a result not decided by the scores of the reserves. Edited April 6, 2017 by Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he trying to tell us something? Or does he not have one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 All are getting new suits as the logo on the ones to be used this season is no longer allowed due to copyright infringement problems encountered.... Â (Nothing to do with the previous promotion by the way).. Â The race jacket currently used covers up the old logo and the new logo will get incorporated into the new suits...
