cyclone Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) Teams as per Edinburgh web site:- STAGGS BAR MONARCHS: Ricky Wells, Joel Andersson, Mark Riss, Max Ruml, Erik Riss (capt.), Coty Garcia, Josh Pickering. ALLIED VEHICLES TIGERS: Chris Harris (capt.), Lewis Kerr, Claus Vissing, Paul Starke, Richie Worrall, Jack Thomas, James Sarjeant. Having previously lost at home to the Tigers by seven in the Shield, imo Glasgow will be favourites again. Although they had a blip at home to Worky, their riders seem to have had a good week riding for their other teams, with Sarjeant in particular having an 8 pt return for Leicester on Monday. Monarchs will hope that Mark Riss can replicate his form in the Scottish Open, but I do not hold out much hope that Andersson will shake off his mediocre form. If Starke is fully fit, would not be surprised if Tigers post 50 points tomorrow Edited May 24, 2018 by cyclone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazc Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Monarchs to win this tonight by around 8 as in general we have been less than impressive away from home. It then sets things up for a close finish on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It then sets things up for a close finish on Sunday. Have to agree with you and id settle for 8 as I think it will be more. Chris having blown one engine to bits has wrecked another bike riding for rye house . so goodness knows what he'll be riding maybe one of the bikes that kept failing early in the season? Paul back from injury and having to ride a tight technical track not the best type of track to make a comeback and Jack brilliant prospect but it takes years to learn Armadale and some never do. so relying on lewis, Richie and Claus and james whose last away match saw him score 0 at Redcar when riding at reserves - even Alfie bowtell got one for Lakeside at Redcar yesterday (no disrespect Alfie). So if 4 riders can't gat a win at Redcar, cant see how 3 can at Armadlae. Throw in the return of Coty Garcia and that makes the monarchs even stronger. Just hope i'm wrong though a big win for the monarchs could see more than 20 Edinburgh fans come through on Sunday which would be good.

Gazc Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Now you can say all you like about Bomber but saying he took a dive with first bend bunching is just a silly comment to make. However 2 point defeat is better than i expected, should be enough but you can never be overly confident with this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeyin Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Good meeting , a bit rough on Bomber, he felt that he was taken out, should have been all 4 back and Mark Riss was a bit naughty with Claus Vissing. Some cracking racing , Erik Riss is becoming a very accomplished rider and his brother Mark is stepping up to the heat leader role, just needs a bit of consistency. For the Tiggers , Richie was immense , especially when the pressure was on. Nice to see young Jack get a point after his first 2 rides as he looked as though he was really struggling with the technical track. Didn't think we would have got a 5-1 in heat 14 , so well done Paul and James for stopping the momentum for the monarchs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endeavour Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Josh being at reserve hasn’t turned out the bonus Edinburgh thought it would be. Gating ...... lack of still a big problem. Always gives it a go though. Good from Mark tonight but needs to be more consistent. Still to be convinced he is a third heat leader. Think Monarchs will be turned over in second leg unless 5 of the boys come to the party on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right and I wasn't at the Diddle to see it last night and couldn't but I have seen Harris jump off a couple of times at least in the past.

Mr Blobby Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) Some decent racing last night, will take the win even if it’s only by 2 as I wasn’t expecting it. Ricky, Erik and mark were looking fast, joel had a few good rides also, josh is possibly the worst gater I’ve ever seen someone really has to help him with that. Garcia had one decent ride and don’t know what’s going on with max just now made a couple of starts last night but seems to be riding all the wrong lines.

So much for Josh going to be one of the strongest reserves in the league, as was touted before the season started. You're right, his gating is woeful and if he can't improve it very soon, he will find fans beginning to turn against him, despite the fact that he is able to command a following for his from the back passes.
