If not what's the point of it and indeed why not use footage of the better race? No idea. Perhaps the video company don’t want to give away the best heats. As I said, 13 and 15 were much better heats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dust inthe lasr 4-5 heats. No watering whatsoever last night. Stuart Dickson was overseeing the track all night. Suprised the track wastn’t watered.

I have to agree, the track was poor last night. Underwatered and very patchy, with too much dry loose material on the outside, which caught out a few of the riders. As a neutral it was my first visit of the season to poole, so I have no axe to grind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWC Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 NKI with 5 points very poor for some reason. His performance in Poland for Torun was much better than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the rider's think is irrelevant as they're being paid. The sport needs to attract fans, not rider's opinions. To watch that every week I'd rather go to Alton Towers and enjoy the rollercoasters myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holder had well documented personal problems, which are still ongoing, but the KL fans gave him no slack at all. And he was doing a far better job than Iversen has done for them this season. With Iversen doing well in Poland on Sunday, why was he so rubbish last night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year though, Iversen's probably happy to just pick up a bit of extra pocket money from British Speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Mr Bigtime attitude didn't go down well with many, the way he was influenced other rider's in the team with night's out on the p!$$ didn't go unnoticed either on the terraces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His well documented problems didn't stop him from scoring 13 at Poole, i think it was the night before? If he had, no doubt he would of finished the season out ? NKI's slack will soon start to run out.. But Nki has been loyal to Lynn, where as Holder didn't give a toss imho Edited June 14, 2018 by Bald Bloke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I'm sure if NKI ever refused to ride in a home meeting he'd be heavily criticised too. This week is the first time Neils' UK form hasn't mirrored what he has been doing abroad....apart from a good score in Sweden he was pretty average everywhere before his op. Despite one or two unfounded claims on this thread he always gives it 100% in my eyes.....in contrast Holder never looked interested last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iversen has had a lot of good years at Kings Lynn, Holder was a Poole rider andfor one season rode for Kings Lynn and add in the night he refused to ride he was never going to be liked in the same way as Iversen. They give him slack because of the past and he is coming back from injury. Edited June 14, 2018 by foreverblue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
