Somerset v King's Lynn 25/06/18


Recommended Posts

A good two points, a little disappointing to be four up after heat 13 and not win but Somerset are pretty formidable at home so it's probably a bit picky to criticise too much. Great to see Niels back to his best.

Well that was a good result for Lynn.Although 4pts up with 2 to go slightly disappointed.Maybe if Toft didn't have a retirement in ht 14 we may have got more.All we need now is a constant 1-7 and a 3 pt scoring number 7:D.

Nice to see Niels back to his best,hopefully.

I may be wrong (and it’s a long time ago!), but I’m pretty certain after scoring about 7 in his first meeting at Somerset including a fall, Iversen went the rest of 2003 unbeaten at the OTA for Newport (has he ridden there since?).

Once he figured the track out, he was majestic around Somerset back then, and I’m glad he’s got a confidence boosting max at the same place 15 years later. 

I was going to say the same thing - I think he must be the first and only rider to have scored 2 full maximums against Somerset.

He had two full houses there in 03 i remember, is this his first since?

I wouldn't say so, equalled out by having Covatti at reserve 

We could of had Covatti in for Jepperson and kept Wright in the team. Vissing has been woeful and after the Poole meeting needs replacing with someone half decent at this level.

Basically Vissing has to go. I don't want to say it as Iike Claus but he clearly is not the standard of a Premier rider and not a heat leader. In two meetings he has beat Max Clegg. It puts more pressure on Lawson and Holder especially when we face two big guns like NKI and Lambert we need our middle order to be firing.

Couldn't agree more. Charles would easily have scored more than Claus's current tally of 1 lone point in 2 meetings. This would have affected the outcome tonight...

Covatti exceeding all expectations. Vissing the reverse.

Good performance by Kings Lynn though. NKI majestic.

Charles Wright badly missed 

Totally agree. Gary Mays made a howler in signing Vissing he’s woeful and has to go otherwise the play offs are gone. Bring back Wrighty !!!

Two other things :

1. Doyle - what was he doing in heat 13 riding into the pits with a lap to go. It didn’t look like he had a bike problem more he just threw his dummy out his pram as it wasn’t going for him.

2. The track - its been crap all season. The racing is woeful and most meetings have one line - it’s follow leader and awful entertainment despite the announcers churning out the same old tribe each week about what fantastic racing we have. Sorry this won’t wash anymore and needs sorting out. The club have had 3 months now to sort this - no more excuses get the track issues resolved and restore the OTA back to where it should be , as one of the best race tracks in the country.

How did he do that

The point is Vissing has replaced a heat leader who was regularly winning races particularly at home. The added benefit of having Covatti at reserve is lost by having Vissing - he wouldn’t even make a good reserve at this level - let alone heat leader.
