Gavan Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 I think Leicester will win the second leg as well but well dont Somerset on their win. If they can get Rohan and Josh competitive then they have a solid reserve in Allen piling up the points. Good to see Leicester doing well after last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomersetBlue Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 So Somersets riders falling off and breaking down is bad luck? In the real world its poor planning and falling off is a lack of skill. Yet Bjerre having to withdraw was bad luck as it was the fault of a Somerset rider. Somerset appear to have been the lucky team to be, there rider put a Leicester rider out of the meeting. What absolute tosh, any rider can fall off even the very best riders so lack of skill my a**e. Plus yes breaking down is bad luck, Rohan has been troubled since the start and just can't get it going and Paddy Hougaard scored three wins with his retirement so do you really think that it was "bad planning". Lastly how did Allen put Bjerre out of the meeting it's not as if he meant to do it, it happens any time. Not really bad luck just a racing accident. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somerset appear to have been the lucky team to be, there rider put a Leicester rider out of the meeting Lasse and Jake were mixing it in close proximity to each other, it was on the edge of the seat stuff, it happened right in front of me. They were giving no quarter, it was inevitable that it was going to end in tears for one of them and I reiterate, one of the them !!! It could have gone either way, it just so happened it was Lasse got to bite the shale, it could have, quite easily been the other way and Lasse would have been out. That, my friend is speedway. It was a racing incident !!! Edited April 8, 2017 by Aroundtheboards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a racing incident !!! Spot on, they both wanted the same piece of track at the exact same moment. For the Rebels Wrighty and Jake were awesome with Paddy, Josh and Starkey solid. Rohan will sort it out soon i'm sure and Jan will get better the more race fit he gets. For Leicester Nilsson was good when he gated but very average when he didn't, Gomolski worked hard but always lost out to a Rebel, Bjerre was ok until his collision with Jake, King was very good and quick, Bates was generally out of control and poor and Ayres failed to turn up collecting a lengthy row of coconuts. Not bad racing for the opening meeting of the season and track was good despite looking a bit wet to start with. In reality not much different to last years racing to be honest just the different name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Where you at the meeting or is your opinion from your keyboard looking at the scorecharts? My opinion is my point of view from witnessing the meeting and the luck probably evened itself out. I wasn't there but falling off, crashing and breaking down isn't bad luck. It's like claiming its back luck that you didn't gate, didn't have the speed and didn't pass the other riders in the race.What absolute tosh, any rider can fall off even the very best riders so lack of skill my a**e. Plus yes breaking down is bad luck, Rohan has been troubled since the start and just can't get it going and Paddy Hougaard scored three wins with his retirement so do you really think that it was "bad planning". Lastly how did Allen put Bjerre out of the meeting it's not as if he meant to do it, it happens any time. Not really bad luck just a racing accident.if this is your level of logic I'll give up and say you're right. Somerset were unlucky not to score 75, unlucky that Leicester had riders who could do 4 laps faster than the Somerset riders some times.

SomersetBlue Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Exactly. It your messed up logic. Being crap is unlucky apparently. So the likes of Hancock, Pedersen, Holder, Doyle, Woffinden etc, the BEST riders in the world, all have bike problems and falls that is down to them being c**P and bad planning is it? Because that is your logic if you fall it's lack of skill and if you have bike problems it's bad planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that is your logic if you fall it's lack of skill and if you have bike problems it's bad planning.The whole point of speedway is to cross the finish line first. The first hing you have to do to be able to do that is finish the race. If you can't do that you're failing. How often do those rider you mentioned call off or break down? They don't, almost never.

womble53 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Klindt guesting for Starke in the 2nd leg. Thought Starke was an asset so should get priority over Peterborough? Rearranged fixture for the Rebels as far as I know, so priority is for existing fixture i.e. Peterborough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
