The only young rider who compares to the young Darcy Ward is.... Robert Lambert.. and, we need him at Poole... Hope that doesn't happen, an awful thought!!

Cliffeboy Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Oh , very good return to form by the Rebels, who never really gave the Pirates a look in. Doyley on a different level, backed up mainly by Jack. Sharp at the starts without having to jump, and some forceful good passing. Great entertaining by Nico and Bradders, and some good chasing by Summers . Only Jake had a bit of a quiet one, but he was in the mix. Still not sure about Lawson, still waiting for a double figure score from him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Darcy arrived at Poole he was good but not brilliant. He was also a “cheeky” rider who could read the track one lap ahead of his competition but, he did make mistakes and, he didn’t win every race. He became brilliant in the following years and was the brains behind the “Turbo Twins” duo.. In my opinion, for what it’s worth, Robert Lambert, year for year, could be on par to DW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a great team rider who could deliver on any track. Ronnie Moore was a naturally gifted motorcyclist, so was Michael Lee And Darcy Ward. Three great riders that made it look so easy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted August 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 2 hours ago, Stoke Potter said: One of the best tracks in the country? Slick, bumpy, and not a lot of passing... Very true. Yet again another trip to Somerset and yet again a not very good meeting. But before anyone thinks it’s sour grapes, well done to Somerset on a relatively easy win over a lacklustre pirates. Only one good race with Harris battling with Holder, the rest was very average fodder with hardly any outside passing. The home team took advantage of knowing the only passing line was right around the inside and the Poole guys just didn’t twig this until it was too late. Get up the inside and you are made. No matter how hard you try to blast around the outside, you will just go backwards. Doyle was untouchable tonight and a class above, backed up by Holder. Pirates just don’t have that kind of firepower and Kurtz had another mare. In fact none of the Pirates heat leaders covered themselves in glory. Very poor. Best Poole riders were Klindt who battled all night, and Woryna, another who gave his all. Special mention to Freddie Jakobsen on his first ever visit and battled well. A poor Pirates performance and a 12 point defeat. Not good enough in a playoff meeting. Looks like it’s going to be Somersets to lose and in all honesty would take a major choke for them not to end up as champions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The track didn’t allow much in the way of racing and Harris’s blasts around the outside sent him backwards.

speedybee Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Covatti's gutsy from-the-back passing of Kurtz and Woryna was my pick of tonight's racing. First meeting this year at Oak Tree where the racing was quite pedestrian. Usually it's been spectacular, especially for outside line passing.

Steve Shovlar Posted August 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Then clearly the Somerset promotion set the track up to stop the Pirates racers from having any chance tonight. No outside passing at all. Always hear how good it is but the numerous meetings have never been spectacular.

Aroundtheboards Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Didn't take too many meetings for the Wimbourne Road Faithful to get back to there old carping ways and whinging at just about everything. Why can't you lot be gracious in defeat for once !!! You were stuffed !!! End of !!!

stevebrum Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 A good meeting to watch on the box. Close racing made the meeting one of the best this season. Somerset way to easy tho, expected more from Poole tho. At least they contributed to a great night of racing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with your comments on the above riders, but if we are talking natural ability then Gollob was just another level! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
