Broc and wood seem great acquisitions hahaha zero between them . This double switch could go down as the worst ever ..

Yeah. Because the 3 points scored from last time we were at Newcastle were a huge loss today.

3rd bend again at Newcastle 

how many riders have been injured on that bend over the years 

 

Well in the last couple of weeks, 2 Kamikazi rides by 2 riders in about third place, deciding to do a full blast in a straight line have tried it and got hurt. Nowt to do with the track which you might be implying, just stupid tactics at the wrong time. There are 4 laps to each race, but some want it over during the first lap and in the last two weeks 2 riders have learned to think a bit more next time. I could ask how many riders have been badly hurt on the second bend at Owlerton. 

Incidentally I talked to one of the Sheffield riders tonight after the meeting, and he absolutely loved it.(note to oneself of his name for next year I think)

I know how much Newcastle speedway meens to you 

but the track is not good is it

very poor shape 

not always prepaired bad but its certainly not always good 

and not the best for entertainment  is a understatement 

 

Kyle Howarth and Erik Riss both crashed attempting overly aggressive overtakes that were never going to end happily...

Sheffield don't ride Newcastle well but I hope Kyle has a speedy recovery, that is our main concern at the moment.

Hope so too, Sheffield might not ride Newcastle too well, but Kyle Howarth has been one of my favourite visitors at a Brough in the last few years and, his early absence marred the evening.

I hope kyle is Ok as hes always a good entertainer and tryer

But as usual we have the usual harping on about the track …..

sorry to disappoint but it was 100% Kyles own fault (as was Riss the week before) …. went into the bend far too quick and lost control trying to avoid luddo

as for the meeting .. took wait too long … I know there were plenty of stoppages but the ref was too slow with the 2 minutes

otherwise predictable fare ……  wright and shane good entertainment.... bjerre better than normal …. kurtz utter rubbish and nicol and wood were always going to find it tough ……… any hopes Sheffield had of getting a point disappeared in heat 1 (apart from Ipswich - every away seems to want us to win at home!!!!  - strange old season)

kus im afraid really needs to take a good look at himself ……… this trailing around last not trying it not acceptable ………… and please don't cite engine problems...…. there were quite a few comments made in the crowd about him …. not many repeatable !!!!!!!!!

Ivan Mauger did not complain about the shape.Like people are saying you have to adjust your riding style to the track and conditions on the night.

Carb problems, actually.  He was changing the carb off the second bike to put onto his first bike, before being told that he was being replaced in heat 12.

Fair comment ,but like I said you have to ride to the conditions,you don't like the shape but Howarth rides for Wolves which is similar IMO ,so he has no issues with shape.

5 or 6 years ago I think Kyle looked a bit, emm, err,,, erratic at times at Brough, but more recently has seemed to master it. A think he was doing more to avoid taking Lindgren out, which led to his spill.
