Even that is bad for Somerset!! Should be on par with Wolves and just slightly behind BV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true. There was some excellent tussles at Poole including Harris blasting through, Klindt blasting through on Summers. Proper passing, not this hug the white line crap we had to suffer last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, did you notice Doyle riding the boards for the whole of at least one of his rides? .. equally fast as the inside line. And even Summers using the outside line early on to good effect.

Bagpuss Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 I’m sure I didn’t imagine Holder going round somebody in heat 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Jacobsen our worst rider and he struggled to get past took him all race, at Poole he would of passed with ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deltalima Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 These are professional riders so if they can’t work out the racing lines after a couple of rides then clearly they should not be putting their leg over a speedway bike. I don’t recall the riders of the seventies moaning about tracks, they got stuck in and rode it. We seem to be making so many excuses for our riders these days but its still a motorbike with no brakes on a dirt track. We lost plain and simple and the riders have to up their game for us to be in a shout of the playoffs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet last week you described the Poole meeting as "very mediocre" with "passing at a premium". Though to be fair you did later call it the best televised meeting of the season. I know what I saw, backed up by the comments on Speedway Updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds On Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Brady Kurtz, now I know he won one race riding the middle to outside line but jeez he isn't the brightest Aussie on the planet is he, his ride when his team needed him the most decides to run the air fence line for two and half laps, you really couldn't make it up could you? Over rated to say the least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would of passed with ease if he had to, he didn't have to as the race they were both in Holder gated better than Jacobsen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise that Holder had just been whacked by the tapes so had some discomfort. Think that had to do with him struggling to get past.

Yes but that isn't the reason he struggled to get past Jacobsen, anyone apart from Doyle would have struggled having missed the gate, it was purely due to track conditions. If the conditions were the same as the video of Somerset's previous home meeting against Belle Vue on the BSPA site then he wouldn't have struggled. The great race between Doyle and Cook wouldn't have happened on Monday's track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
