mikec Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Deserved win for the Rebels today, might have known Tungate would find his form at our place! He was brilliant, his races with Cook in heats 11 & 15 were great to watch. Was looking forward to seeing Jake Allen for the first time, didn't disappoint,impressed. For the Aces, Fricke looked quick & Sedgeman looked good too. Worrall was sharp from the tapes but seemed down on speed a bit. Just an off track note. My mate's kids were VIP guests of the junior supporters club, Junior Vue. They met all the Aces team in the pits, pics, coin toss with the captains on the centre green, signed tyres off Cookie & Max, & after match presented with signed photographs of them taken pre-match with both riders. They can't wait til next time. Tyres & photos are going to school with them tomorrow, they were buzzing! We'll done all involved. Great afternoon, hope the Rebels fans enjoyed the NSS & are back for the B fixture - different result next time though! 😉 ♣ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEPHEN 333 Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Looks like Kenneth Bjerre will be missing the the match against Swindon then on the 19th of May, depending on where the SEC Final is been held.

topaz325 Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Some great racing in a fantastic stadium, a pleasure to watch Speedway in such a modern stadium , if only all tracks were like this!!Tun gate was superb , his races with Cook were worth the admission alone.Well done Somerset.[/quoteHope you got parked up alright.I'm hoping that means Hougaard didn't qualify? So if that's the case, I would say that means Somerset had the upper hand.Hougaard finished 10th in his qualifier, don't think he will progress to the next round, whilst Bjerre finished third with 12pts, behind winner Timo Lahti (14pts), and Martin Smolinski on 13pts, so yes I think I know what you mean Bjerre will be missing another three Saturday nights, whilst Hougaard won't. Yes thanks , got there early had a pie and a drink too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 He won`t be missing - practice isn`t until 2pm in Gorican on raceday - he can easily get there by then !!! At least Hougaard won't be missing anymore due to SEC though 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Science Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Heat 11 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8mJHQOnMfE4 Note to self : hold the inside line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Note to self : hold the inside line Most passes were mainly from outside. Heat 11 and 15 were both top races between rohan and cook because they raced each other Instead of there own race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Note to self : hold the inside line Cook did exactly that in heat 15 and Tungate went round outside of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Surprising result, but bank holiday matches usually throw up the odd results. The top 2 teams losing to the bottom 2 teams at home. No one would have predicted those results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy jimmy Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 We are always going to be fragile at reserve, two 17 year old lads in their second season, they are going to have ups and downs. It might just be a little too much for Smith at the moment, and so he might make way for someone else soon if averages allow, so he can get his confidence in NL and Championship. I thought Payne would do better, looked like he was trying a little too hard, but again riding at number 2 ifor your first match is a hell of an ask. Tungate showed how good he can be round NSS, one of the best I have seen at our track. Starke always does well too, he is an under rated rider.

Tungate very good round your place...makes you wonder why Lemo didn't call him up into Australia side for last year race off instead of JG after his massive performance for Swindon there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.V 72 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Just researched what could be some depressing news for the next visit of the rebels to belle vue on sat the 5th of aug.the 3rd round of the sec finals are on the same date so with Hougaard already out of the comp if Bjerre goes on to qualify for the finals the rebs will be at full strength and belle vue will have to use a nat league rider again which will totally ruin what should have been a much anticipated return match with both teams at full strength.Hope they have the sense to rearrange the meeting if Bjerre gets through.
