waco Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 With big hitter Luke Bowen and a fairly strong strength in depth,Kent side ,,this is going to be hard for Lakeside despite their own big guns Ben and Zack being in great form... ..Personally i am hopeing they may give Jamie Couzins a run out he knows the track and can hardly do worse than the reserves so far....Weather looks OK ,and i hope all the riders have a good ,safe meeting,,.

waco Posted April 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 TMW..yes seen it ..I hope it is the right move Jamie is reasonable. Out of the starts,,sits on the white line and makes less mistakes than some at his level.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the starts,,sits on the white line and makes less mistakes than some at his level.. So why wasn't he chosen for the place from the off? I suspect because he couldn't ride this weekend and the powers that be thought Ryan wouldn't travel for a couple of 'guest' rides. Â If that is the case they don't know the McDonalds very well and could have saved everybody a lot of grief by just explaining to him he wasn't quite what they were looking for, maybe even use difference, and ask just ask him to do a couple of meetings for them. I'm sure Ryan and Gordon would have obliged. Now his confidence has taken an almighty walloping. As if it wasn't low enough already. Anyway Good Luck to Jamie Couzins. It's fair to say non of this is his fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lakeside ever do well away then it should be at Kent. Morley has probably won more races there than anybody, Zach should beat everybody bar Bowen, Mason will actually score as a heat leader and it's basically a home meeting for Couzins. If the Hammers struggle again then I think it shows how lacking they will be away from the raceway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fair to say non of this is his fault We tried but when you have to race 2 of the hardest tracks in British speedway it's always going to be hard to get it right first meeting but Ryan was looking forward to Kent where he has gone well the 2 times he had ridden there winning one reserve race first time there and coming second to Danny Ayres the second time as that's a track he likes and is used to riding that size of track up here as there is no small tracks up here good luck to Jamie Edited April 16, 2017 by mac101 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted April 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) I believe Ryan was told he was in for the two meetings.Then it was up to him to consolidate his position...After which. Kelvin would make a decision...which he has done.. Edited April 17, 2017 by waco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelvin would make a disition...which he has done..That is not what Ryan was told as we new we would struggle on lakeside and Eastbourne just because of the size of them but new we could have done a lot better at Kent but never got the chance but good luck to Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Glad Jamie has a team spot, gutted ur's not at central park. Almost certain he will end up on a 5 point plus average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waco Posted April 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Well that was a nice surprise shows that when the middle order and the reserves chip in with some points you can grind out a good result..Well done the whole Lakeside team.....

I left before the end. must admit, that was a hard watch, hopefully not too many first timers put off returning  don't think anyone raked bend 1 until after the 14th heat but I could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice Of Reason Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Â don't think anyone raked bend 1 until after the 14th heat but I could be wrong According to the texter on Speedway Updates, there wasn't any bleedin shale to actually rake!
