mdmc82 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 What's going on with Tungate? Was so quick when I watched him last season at the NSS, this year so far from results I've seen he seems to be really struggling. Last season he was riding at reserve for a lot of it or as a 2nd string. He's not a Premiership number 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomersetBlue Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 No !!! Yes he is in Poland, scored 12 in two meetings and an 8 so far (that I know of) unsure of Sweden or Denmark. Anyway it comes we are in the semis so happy with that. Would say unlucky Leicester but according to SCB having bike trouble isn't bad luck 😂. In real terms though Leicester were very unlucky but in the same respect we had our fair share of retirements in the first meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 So how does SCB define a puncture? Does that come under the 'bad luck' list being as falling off or an engine failure doesn't? Punctures would generally come under bad luck. But there was a meeting at Newport in 2001 where the Swindon riders kept going into the 3rd bend through a rut and getting punctures, that was stupidity. No excuse anyway, I once saw Robbo have a puncture out of the start at Newport and still win the race! He did a lap with the tyre completely off the wheel, God only knows how.

I remember Cory Gathercole doing something similar for us away at Plymouth before. Rode about 3 laps in the lead with a puncture before being overtaken on the final bend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should of been disqualified and fined for dangerous riding then. Edited April 16, 2017 by robert72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I've chucked my programme away and I've been to another meeting since then so I can't remember any specific details. Have a read through http://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/16524/leicester-somerset-premiership-koc-2017?page=1&scrollTo=321316 or alternatively hopefully someone with a better memory can tell you. Lions did have bad luck in heat 15 though when Kim had a puncture on the back straight of the last lap while leading so it made the difference between going through to the next round or not. Unfortunately it meant not. Edited April 17, 2017 by Gemini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobblytriers Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Thanks for that Gem, all good sounds good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
