Will be interesting when they are on tv with Nigel trying to pick out the riders, he even gets them wrong when the colours are totally different and sometimes not even in the race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces High Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Team photo suggests Tungate at 3 and Drozdz at 4. Bewley stays at 6 with Etheridge at 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces High Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Snowy yesterday but melting gradually. Slightly about freezing but set to be warmer tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season the reserves can switch between 6 and 7 - Team Manager's choice - unlike in 2017 when the lowest averaged rider had to be at 7. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 I think Belle Vue should be too strong for Swindon tonight but as it's the opening meeting of the season I'll go for a 10-12pt Belle Vue win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was good when Swindon had "second" colours of purple race suits a few seasons back. It was linked to Excalibur sponsorship though, and soon disappeared. I like team colours, but Swindon and Belle Vue, for example, should have one side wearing different colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastbourne also have done it in the past too when they had red race shirts going back quite a few years in the days of David Norris and co.

BobC Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Good luck to everyone for tonights meeting. With this weather, I have to say 'rather you than me!' I hope its a safe and steady start for both teams, although I would prefer a thumping great win for Belle Vue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89buttons Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Drozdz at 3 would suggest he’s settled to his home track very quickly in practise - can see Belle Vue a comfortable winner tonight....looking at the head to head in the lineups can only realistically see batchelor outscoring his opposite number in Drozdz at 3 around Belle Vue, maybe Wajtknecht against Etheridge ...but anything less than 15 point lead and I think Swindon will have a very good chance to turn the tie around! Makes for interesting viewing from afar and a great meeting to get the season started with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Last year Batchelor was superb at the NSS but unless Drozdz is very poor I can see an Aces win by about 10. It's been a long wait for the season to start so hoping for some good close but safe racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Bloke Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hope all riders end up safe,and the fans that brave the weather see some good racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 The result doesn’t matter - it’s the first meeting of the season to blow the cobwebs away and for the riders to get match fit for the league campaign 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces High Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Pretty much. I'll be interested to see how Drozdz gets on, sounds like they are confident him and if he really is good enough to be a heat leader he could be a steal at that average.

IronScorpion Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 2 riders (Fricke & Wajtknecht) excluded for dismounting at the starting gates to "garden". Tungate excluded for missing 2 minutes although if he had problems with his bike in heat 3, by the time he gets off his bike in the pits, he will only have had about 2-3 minutes to sort the problem before being out again in heat 5. As the time limit between races has been reduced from 5 to 4 minutes, if there is no track grading, jump on another bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
