EnglishRoundabout Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Another cracking and entertaining match last night. So pleased to see the OTA looking smooth again with numerous racing lines. Have to admit, when Morris and Thorsell led the 2017 world champion and BWD to an easy 5-1 in heat one, I thought it was going to be one of those nights. However, as what seems to happen quite often at Somerset, once the first track grade is completed, the Rebels almost always up their game. This was an excellent all round performance from the Rebels and as I predicted earlier this season, they will take some stopping on their own ‘turf’. Even with Doyle struggling to get out of the start, the engine room provided sold backing. The switch in positions between Holder and Lawson appeared to work and Jake Allen’s drop to reserve can only benefit him and the team. Jonas Jeppesen looks a fine signing by Garry May. He rarely makes the start, but is tenacious in his pursuit of a pass. It won’t be long before he posts double figures at the OTA I’m sure. Interesting to see Charles Wright, who apart from his first ride looked really quick, grumbling to track staff about track conditions. Reckon Charles is only happy when he’s having a moan! fortunately, the track looked fine but the gremlins crept back with constant issues with the tapes. The naked eye seemed to indicate they were sagging in the middle and lifting slower on the outside. This was possibly borne out with the remarkable statistics of 12 wins out of 15 from gate one. Unusual in itself for Somerset as the outside gate normally proves more popular. Wolves battled really hard all night and I thought they deserved a point Thorsell, Schlein Masters and Howarth all fought hard in every race Howarth on occasions did look pretty wild though Good to see ex rider Bruce Cribb on the centre green Delighting the many Exeter fans who regularly turn up at Somerset for their speedway fix Cribb was roundly applauded by the Rebels fans on his way out to the centre green and on his way back to the pits 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify also, there is no spectators in that section anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
