Bald Bloke Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Well done Mr Bewley. Top scoring for BV with 12 from 6. I think its Lambo's first 15 point max for Lynn. Ty did a great job as well..Lewis scored well. I know it's a patched up BV side. Edited April 18, 2018 by Bald Bloke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikec Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Sad about the Aces defeat tonight. However seeing that Lambert went through the card, combined with Dan shining again, I'm daring to dream that the future of Team GB is looking distinctly rosey. Any Lynn or Aces fans there tonight think the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Robert Lambert different gravy tonight. Kings Lynn battered us. We was shocking. They need to decide quick what way we are going to go. This guest malarkey is not working Special mention to bewley. Struggled here last few years. But today he broke his hoodoo. Take a bow kidda. Both kiddas take a bow. Lambert and bewley. The future is bright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Well as first impressions of the season go I thought tonight was pretty good. A meeting that flowed well (and but for the paramedic seeing to Lewis Rose one that would have been done in 90 minutes or so) with some good racing and a good result. The programme is a hundred times better than last year's, albeit more expensive and there was a pretty big crowding doubt helped by the weather. As Phil says Lambert was a different class, a quite brilliant performance. Proctor and Kerr both excellent too and although there is improvement required from the others it's very early days. Roll on next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Early days but I'd say tonight was a step in the right direction. Young Bewley looks the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMcCaffery Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Lambert looked good in Poland at the weekend. Hopefully he can make real progress this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 A good and deserved win for KL. I thought we would have done better but 4 riders scoring 4 or less tells its own story. Good to see Robert Lambert and Dan Bewley doing so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 These hot laps are unfair if both teams can’t compete. No suprise bv complained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinht Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Assured performance from the Stars. Best racing we've seen at the AFA for quite a while, don't recall as much overtaking all last season. Lambert certainly appears to have stepped it up a notch. Jury is out on Kasper, looks like he has potential, but is going to take time to get dialled in. Not sure how he'll cope with some of the smaller tracks though! Looking forward to a successful season! Bewley was definitely the pick of the Aces. Agree with others that hot laps need to be for both teams. Good idea though to keep pre meeting interesting. Do we really need an interval? Would flow better with just the programmed grading breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Don't think there was an interval as such, just an enforced break while the paramedic was setting to Lewis Rose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 This thing about the hot laps, I guess all teams at home can now do it? Stop moaning about it and just do the same when you're at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted April 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Sure did enjoy that first meeting, A big crowd, good weather, happy atmosphere, exciting racing and a brilliant result. All the things that will entice supporters to come and watch.. I was expecting a good performance, especially after all the fitness and team work that's gone on preseason , so was not surprised by their attitude. Belle Vue, it anything disappointed me. After a bright start they seems to drift away from the competition and excepted defeat too easily. I expected more from Friske and Cookie, and some of the others. I appreciate they were a couple of riders short but I expected more than they showed... Their brightest star was young Bewley. What a talent, he stood out like a shinning beacon. Smooth, fast competitive, this boy has it all. Last night BV's total would have looked poor had it not been for the points he scored. Being nominated for h15 was just reward for the performance he put in. In the past I have been one of the first when moaning about Lambert , so let me say how pleased I was to see such an epic performance from our new Captain. He was everything a top rider should be. I was amazed his gating has at last come good, allowing him to get out with the others. He was majestic, either from the gate or from the back he was in a class of his own. Hopefully this is going to be the year he arrives on the big stage and be excepted as a world class star.. Tonight, he was supreme..... Probably it was wrong to pick out Robert as our starman because the whole team performed well. both individually and as a unit. Proctor showed what a 3rd heatleader he is can be, Kerr will always be scoring good points, and TJ was what we have come to expect. NKI had a funny night , sometime scoring well and other times he struggled, but he will come good. Both Rose and Andersen had their moments, but all in all a encouraging first meeting. No doubt there will be harder meetings than this one... On the whole there were more positives than I expected. The track was pretty good, but that third bend needs looking at, Looking down from our high vantage point a lot of riders were nervous and easing off going into the bend. Experienced riders like Niels and Cookie were having issues, on some racing lines. I thought the Ref did a good job, excepting the Red light coming on in Ht6 too quick. There was no need to stop the race when the track was clear. It gave BV another chance to win the race that they had already lost. Thankfully Niels won the rerun... It had been a long wait, but it felt good to be back at Saddlebow Road. Back in January when the teams were announced, I thought we would struggle, but after watching last night I now believe we are good enough to compete, and that has to be good, not only for the Stars supporters but for the Sport as well....

OveFundinFan Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Seems a good idea to have pre meeting hot laps. Could help sort potential engine problems and also get the track into race mode (think it’s well known a used track can produce better racing). However it’s got to be for home AND away riders. What I hate to see is any team have runaway wins, I love to see close exciting racing. Giving only the home team the opportunity of hot laps can only lead to a massive home advantage, thus potentially a runaway win, potentially a boring meeting.
