Peterborough v Redcar C Sunday 15th April


Recommended Posts

Bit of a nothing meeting really..the highlight was the real Scott Nicholls finally turning up in his 3rd heat (hopefully his turning point)..really fast and aggressive so this was great to see and would love to know what change he made. Barker was value for money as usual and Margaret jobsworth Vardy hang your head in shame for making a farce of heat 15..was there any need for that??..

I am not a great lover of Margaret Vardy's refereeing skills at any time , but she was not at. fault for the antics of heat 15 , she followed the rules laid down , the problem was down to the Redcar team manager who should be the one to make sure the riders were in correct helmet colours . So well  done to Margaret Vardy for spotting this.

There should be enough people in the Redcar side of the pits to stop this happening, very poor IMO. As for Barker, nothing surprises me with Ben, you just have to laugh at him.

Personally I would rather see racing..im guessing the start Marshall's  are not allowed to help so could she really not have raised the tapes to let the lads go to the pits and get them swapped and avoid all of that?

Even so I thought it was poor..Barker just wants to race his bike and all that didn't need to happen.

Agreed , but still not the ref's fault, put it down to inapt team management or an oversight  . , Yes Ben Barker only wants to race, and there's nothing better than seeing him in full flow but his actions cannot be excused and he was rightly penalised for it.

Whatever made Jitendra think that Kus could be a heatleader 

Well give the guy a break, 2 AWAY meetings and the jury has made its mind up.

Yes its a slow start but give him 3 or 4 HOME matches to get dialled in then judge for peats sake.

Starke definitely madeus stronger in my opinion and it's a shame he's no longer with us.

I would've liked to see us keep most of last seasons team together with the odd tweak. 

Credit to Grondal again for another good home meeting. 

Big gap until our next meeting which can't help anyone

Ellis was flying on a Godden on Friday, maybe, they are only good for slick tracks.

To be fair Nicholls just wasn’t getting out of the starts, he told me his Godden is fast enough around any of the tracks so the problem was just the start.

After a couple of rides he had sorted the set up and looked much sharper, problem sorted.

He was offered terms as was Harris, but the draw of more Wonga from the garage owners just swayed it, it will be interesting to see who fancies the long drive next year, Harris already seems annoyed with it according to his twitter and it’s only just started.
