g13webb Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Its always nice to welcome the World Champion to our track and watch him weave his magic, but I believe his efforts will not be enough to overcome the revitalised Stars . With Niels missing , Sam Masters is guesting for him. Sam goes well here, and should be an able replacement for our No 1. Robert will be relishing his rides against the WC and no doubt hoping to add another scalp to his long list of riders he's beaten this year. TP, TJ, MPT are all riding well, this will be Lewis Kerr's last meeting as reserve for some while as the new figures soon come into play, so no-doubt will want to impress before moving into the team proper. Andersen is improving every week and this could be the time for them point to flow. I feel Somerset have performed well this year, but believe this could be a long trip and not getting any reward........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 I expect the Rebels to do well, if Jason Doyle is "on it" then the Rebels should come away with a win! What sort of track is Buster presenting the riders with this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly, what do the fans think about the quality of racing this year? My impression, from some of the comments, is that it has improved but does it compare favourably to the days when King's Lynn was regarded as one of the best tracks in the UK? I hope it does or that it is getting close to that standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinht Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Best racing I've seen at Saddlebow for several seasons. With today's ultra powerful bikes I reckon it's about as good as will get. Better than most tracks again, with obvious exception of new belle Vue which seems awesome. Hoping to get up there one day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll second that. This year I have not complaints of the track and each week meeting we have seen decent racing. I always thought the Saddlebow track COULD be better than any in the UK ( NSS exception) and this year it has proved this point. Riders relishing coming here to race has provided some exceptional racing..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Indeed, thunderstorms forecast for most of the day but they said the same of Friday and nothing happened. Would expect the forecast to change a couple of times before Wednesday evening anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinht Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Impossible to call the weather yet, looks like rain will be earlier on Wednesday. Buster produced an excellent track against Leicester once the rain had stopped mid afternoon. Let's not talk this off just yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 I could be wrong but I believe some new, different shale was first used on ' that night' v Poole and ever since that meeting the racing has been better on the new stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
