I'm of the belief that, this is one of the reason why the Stars have been reluctant to show their hand. Rest assured had Niels been riding this season it would have been shouted from the rooftops, loud and clear.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly my head believes you are spot on but my heart still dreams that Buster might be holding back the best until last ( early March ). Without Iversen the Stars team will not hold it's own and my enthusiasm for the upcoming season will dip further. Even more importantly I dream that the KL track would be much improved and offer up better racing ( but that is another hope from the heart ). And my hope that doubleheaders V the same team will not be seen again at Saddlebow Rd. is quite likely to be dashed ( "in the best interests of the sport" ). Not much to look forward to for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wish for 2019 is for the racing to be enjoyable for every fan and for the night to be over by 9.30 minimum.No restarts up with the tapes and if the rider guesses right good luck to him keeping the meeting rolling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't agree to this, however I would agree that all 4 have to go straight back to the starting gate and not via the pit gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year there was carnage with restarts, sometimes 3/7 restarts a meeting.As long as you dont touch the tapes anything goes then it is up to the referee to get the tapes up quickly.

There is a Regulation that states a minimum time period (1 I/2 seconds?) between the Green Light and Tapes up. There is also a Regulation that the riders must remain still at the start. So if Referee sees a rider moving/rolling he has every right to delay the start until all 4 are stationary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCOGNITO Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Poole won last year with a solid line up which proved invaluable but the back up to the top two is vital as is a good reserve and if you look at number fours, Nick Morris at Wolves has to be the strongest by some way . However it's also important to have a bargain in there and Kyle Howarth at Wolves, Ricky Wells at Belle Vue and again Morris and Thorssell at Wolves look to be on modest averages. New faces in Lidsey at Belle Vue and Becker at Wolves could be bargains and Lampart at Swindon could be a bargain in some opinions as could Bjerre at Aces. As as for stronger top three, will agree with Swindon but strongest top four and most potential look to be Wolves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Have always hated ultra top heavy sides, for me a solid team with at least one good reserve is the better way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
