fubar Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Buxton had Sam Woolley as a guest for Pavitt who was missing for some reason, David Wallinger was a no show and rider replacement was used for Coles. Whitmore fell off in his first ride and that was his day finished. It's all a bit depressing really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWC Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 There’s a clear distinction in this league between the haves and have nots and Buxton don’t have a lot! Sad state of affairs and there really needs to be some form of rider control rather than using averages that clearly don’t work at this level.

Wallinger turned up and then went home apparently ill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you didn't give him a free programme. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fubar Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 At least when Buxton had the likes of Rutherford and Geary on the team sheet, you could be confident that they would turn up and give it 100%, sometimes without reaping the rewards that perhaps they should have. Obviously, surely not the case here but sometimes riders get a pumped up opinion of themselves and expect the team manager to slip them free tyres or some other incentive and all that does is cause bad feeling amongst the less favoured riders. I feel confident that Mr Wallinger will arise from his sick bed in time for next week's clash with the pride of Manchester. But then he seems to make more comebacks than Frank Sinatra so I perhaps won't rush down to Corbetts to place a bet on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Rutherford is back practising so maybe he can cover for Pavitt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps he could replace Wallinger if he has jumped ship. Edited May 29, 2018 by fubar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
