Last 6 scores of 8, 8, 3, 14, 3, 7. Only 2 are below his current average and his score of 14 proves he can ride it if he wants too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, but when you think about it, Magic couldnt grasp Wolves for love nor money, but once he got the hang of iit he was away. Chris has had more practice, Kyle Newman soon mastered it, im suprised that they didnt make a play for him. Wolves is not rocket science, Chris should have figured it by now.

You don't score 14 points if you haven't figured it out. Seems he isn't consistent enough on track at Monmore tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a weird one . I've seen him ride it really well. I guess he just isn't a fan of racing on it most times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Fricke has never rode Poole that well but looks pretty good elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect to Kyle Newman who picked it up very quickly, but Chris is in a different league. Im sure, or you would hope they watch DVD's of the meetings, and then just impliment what they see. From a riders perspective, Wolverhampton is not, or shouldnt be rocket science. But every tracks characteristics are different, but to be fair most top riders should get dialed in and master them quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Rather than ability may be its a matter of attitude and application? It's a track he clearly dislikes so perhaps he lacks the desire to put in the hard work to master it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the feeling it wouldn't matter how many laps he has at Wolves, he hates the place and can't get that out of his head. He has had some ok meetings there like he has had at Lakeside which is another track he hates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes good performance even though he was a second string that night and also benefitted from some breakdowns and his score included a double tac ride.

Most riders suss Monmore out pretty well, I guess it's in the head of those that struggle to be consistent there. 8 minutes ago, foreverblue said: Yes good performance even though he was a second string that night and also benefitted from some breakdowns and his score included a double tac ride.

He certainly has a mental block about Monmore but he is a good gater so no reason why he shouldn't score well there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agrotron Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Are we any nearer hearing about the captaincy role or have I missed it being announced, I'd like the role to go to JG personally feel he could do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Remember that it took Lindgren a while to suss it out and that was riding there every week. MarkLemon, speaking about Drozdz, said he should be fine at the NSS but might have problems at Wolverhampton, adding that many riders who have ridden in the UK for years still have problems riding it. It was the same with the dog track many riders couldn't get to grips with it and it gave us a big home advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt just wants Chris to ride his bike, regain his confidence and score points. He would be my choice for captain, but although we have not heard anything my guess is that it will go to josh.

Yep very true, Magic openly admited to me he detested the Wolves track, but once he got it sussed he was away. As Steve says, could be all in thre head. That was the case with Magic.

Very true M Zagar being one of them, but when he signed for the Aces he soon came to loving it and riding it very well. Maybe Holder should have a season on loan to Wolves.
