TonyE Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 No thread for this meeting as far as I know. Lakeside website has no information - given the weather forecast, perhaps they do not expect it to go ahead. It would be helpful to know just what team they were hoping to track though (so everyone could check that it was legal). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackofdiamonds Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 Raining at the moment, but the met office forecast is looking better from about 5.00. Hope the damage hasn't already been done and we can go ahead with the racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Looks like Josh Pickering saved us from an even bigger defeat, he and Adam put Nick Morris to shame, surely a top flight heat leader should be scoring a lot more than 4 points in the second tier?

marko Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Look forward to hearing the thoughts of anyone who attended this match, was Lakeside unlucky or was there an air of resignation about the thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringbackHalifax Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Nick wasn’t up for it, pulled up after first bend, did not look to work on bike before next ride. Spoke to ref after his 2nd ride but was told to continue. Won his next one but then got caught up in first bend bunching a few times in his next and pulled out. Ellis and Pickering both rode well. Alfie tried to hard in wrong conditions to overtly. Ben and Zach both so so. TRack was very wet early on but those who attacked it were fine, those who were tentative struggled. kus when gating was great as was Robbo. Marty Wethers was very good and picked his way through traffic a couple of times. Tero, Carl and Ash not a good night with all 3 having bike problems. Ludvig was in a different class to all others.1.5 seconds quicker than all, smooth all the way and when headed by Josh, picked him off up the inside off bend 4. Would love to see Josh as a Diamond.

Not to mention pulling wheelies and basically not giving a s*** about scoring points for lakeside or trying to entertain any fans who may have been there from lakeside..... Right I feel better after getting that off my chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Enjoyed the meeting. Some good racing when Ellis and Pickering were on track. Times were 2 or 3 seconds off normal so hardly indicative of an unrideable track. Brough needs throttle control when dry and even more when wet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A don't think Nick Morris likes the Newcastle track at the best of times, but a least pulling wheelies when beaten entertains the kids Was good to see 'The Moth' back to his best with effortless style, maybe need more dark nights and tricky tracks are needed, but will be back to no.1 riding like that, if he's not careful.

liam Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Maybe Nick didn’t feel safe to race on the track and after spending time with Dan Bewley only 24 hours earlier didn’t want to take any risks. I saw Workington fans saying him and Ellis was out on the track with Dan while waiting for the ambulance so I think calling him a disgrace is a bit harsh personally.
