Great to see Danny Gappmaier taken his form from reserve into the main team, unfortunately not the same for John Lindman going the other way, hopefully he gets that put right in tonight's meeting. lindman was much better than id expected going by coments made about him on other threads gappmaier was quick early on a few Workington riders seamed to have problems and all off them were gating bad all night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( 80s/90s) ? so nothing has changed , its still follow my leader most of the times . more dirt , less dirt . the outcome will always be the same . fancy tuners, fancy clutches, fancy electronics , FANCY THAT ! it is what it is . a 10 pund sport and always will be .

There did not seem to be any grip anywhere resulting in a gate and go track to satisfy no-one apart from the gating tarts. It got to the stage where I didn't care who won, I just wanted to see someone overtake someone else - I am still waiting! I am not sure how anyone could think it was a decent match, and if all speedway meetings were like this there really would eventually be no spectators at all. It was a long while ago but I can just about recall our only other meeting this season against Edinburgh when the track provided some really good racing. Why the difference tonight? If you thought that was awful hope you didn't make it to Berwick on Sat.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Bewley, rides like a GP star at Belle Vue then returns to his Championship club and rides like a novice.

Superb talent but has to be careful of developing into a one trick pony. Away from BV he doesnt create many headlines, in either league. His BV form should be easily transferable to Polish tracks of similar size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen all three meetings over the weekend at Workington, Berwick & Belle Vue he was disappointing at the first two. I should point out, though, that he is an inconsistent gater and there were more passes in one heat today at NSS then in 30 heats at Derwent Park & Shielfield. Such a rider will always have problems if the surface simply doesn't permit overtaking. Give him a track that he can pass on and maybe things might change. His overhauling of Sam Masters was simply brilliant (its on youtube). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even taking into account a poor performance at Swindon, he's still averaging over 6 away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John7 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Give the boy time! Couple more meetings at derwent and he will be dialed in! Class act. I do think they need to create a surface at workington with two racing lines as fans want to see riders passing each other that creates entertainment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlislecomet2 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 And that is the crux of it all - prepare tracks that allow overtaking to take place. At DP on Saturday Dan (along with others from both teams) were positioning themselves for an overtake and there was just nothing there for them. It must be even more frustrating for the racers amongst them than for us watching. If tracks are going to be set up for gating tarts I will go to watch drag racing instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the return at Berwick he was untouchable from the gate, but when missed was nowhere. More to do with the track than the rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
