is that a real competition these days, as some decent riders don't even bother with it ?

Certainly your no 1 doesn't, thankfully we had enough in the tank to do the job without ours

Remind us all which track the whole Fours tournament was raced on

Best race track in the Championship by a country mile

Excellent 3 points from the Monarchs, with the Glasgow riders missing I thought we were up for a comfortable victory but fair play to Sarjeant and Morris who scored much better than the guys they replaced would have. That made a really close and tight excellent meeting. In fact after heat 10 I couldn't see where we would get the heat advantages from then step forward Max Clegg. To be fair he had looked strong a all night just a little unlucky in heat 7 but to beat Lawson and Summers comfortably in 12 and 14 swung the match our way. Sam Masters also pulled out a ride in heat 13 that we really needed. Everyone was thinking he's not fit possibly shouldn't be riding after 3 pretty average races. But it turns out it's mechanical he jumped on Marks bike and produced the sort of heat 13 we expect from him. Brilliant race with Richie and Erik also fighting hard in probably race of the season.

 

All the Monarchs contributed with Mitch forcing a mistake from summers in heat 4 and Josh picking up a couple of vital 3rds. But almost every rider was inconsistent as well to win a 2 leg match we can't afford that.

 

But a great nights entertainment good win for the monarchs and a deserved point for the Tigers. Barring some bizarre results we should be there now so Bring on the play offs.

 

I think Sam has came back too early from his collarbone operation and fitness maybe a problem for him

Sarjeant last night shows what a difference it can make to the team to have a free scoring reserve, particularly when someone in the 1-5 isnt performing. Thats something we havent been used to this season having spent too many of our points on three 8.5 riders at the top end. Food for thought for 2018.

Aaron Summers is a joke right now, and has been one of the biggest dissapointments this season.

 

Away Average From Last 4 meetings (EX BP) = 6.00 (INC BP) = 6.22

 

Richard Lawson has also been a let down too

 

Away Average From Last 4 meetings (EX BP) = 6.88 (INC BP) = 7.11

 

Our only heat leader who has lived up to the role is Richie Worrall

 

Away Average From Last 4 meetings (EX BP) = 8.70 (INC BP) = 8.94

 

 

Hope this helps us realise who shouldn't be back next season.

 

 

 

Are you trying to hi Jack this Edinburgh thread. Love your logic, select a team based on 4 away fixtures :rofl: . Over a season who is the no1 in the Green Sheets from 18th September - Richard Lawson 8.59, followed by Richie 8.51 and Aaron 8.28. Away and grow up, you'd think you were still at school with your comments - in fact away and play with Jeremy Corbyn Fan
