Steve Shovlar Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Looking forward to coming up for this one next Monday. Weather now seems to be settling down and the current forecast for Monday is a dry day in Manchester. This has the makings of being a real thriller. Belle Vue have a decent looking lineup and will no doubt be a strong force around the NSS. Poole come to win, and there’s no reason to believe that we can’t come away with something. Cook will no doubt be back at number one and will BV will book a guest for Steve Worrall or go with r/r? Belle Vue Cook Starke guest or r/r Tungate Fricke Etheridge Bewley Poole Kurtz Woryna Grajczonek Sundstrom Kildemand Szczepaniak Shanes. Thoughts?

Aces51 Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) The only PL teams not riding on Monday are Kings Lynn and Swindon, which means the best riders available would be Ellis or Jorgensen. Neither would be an adequate replacement for Worrall at the NSS just as Lawson wasn't tonight. I would think that we shall therefore go with r/r but again it makes us weaker. Another slice of good fortune for Poole but that's the way it sometimes goes. A closer match than it might otherwise be but an Aces win by 4/6 points.

Phil The Ace Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 I would sign a temp replacement for worrall and fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Not sure how r/r would make Belle Vue weaker at NSS. Fricke. 3 points. Tungate. 3 points. Starke 1 point. Bewley. 2 points. Agree with Phil that on their travels a signing is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Worrall has been on fire at the NSS this year. 13 from 5 rides in the Peter Craven meeting and 13+1 from 5 rides against Swindon. That is why r/r makes us weaker and Tungate is not guaranteed 3 points on his current form. So far as a replacement the choices in the UK are limited with Garriitty or Lasse Bjerre being the best options but neither of those are as good as Worrall.

Aces51 Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 I don't see Eric Riss or Wozniak as being as good as and certainly no better than Garriitty or Lasse Bjerre. Madsen did well in Poland last year but no guarantee he could transfer that form to the UK as a temporary replacement. Maybe worth a punt if he was prepared to come and bring good machinery.

He had his operation on Tuesday so I would expect there is now more definite news on which to base an assessment. In this week's Speedway Star there are mentions of anything from 6-12 weeks but they could well have been made before the results of the operation were known. For anyone interested Paul Suggitt is trying to raise £5000 to help Steve get the best treatment to recover from his injuries. So far over £3300 has been raised. https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/stevieworrall Edited April 12, 2018 by Aces51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 4 of your rider's ain't seen the NSS track? I can see the Aces leading early, and once the 2 Poles, Linus and Killer get dialled in, i think Poole will come on strong in the 2nd half of the meeting. It's hard to judge from last nights meeting due to the poor/unexpected track conditions.No ones fault, just the freak rainfall we have had lately.Should be a good close meeting.

Steve Shovlar Posted April 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Woryna rode at the NSS in two meetings for Coventry in 2016. Suprisingly rode terribly in both meetings. Spanner and Linus havent ridden there. The others have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces51 Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 I thought he hasn't got a visa for the UK at the moment which is why he went to Poland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the mk2 Woryna will go well there this time around. More experience/confidence and maybe faster bikes now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
