Heaven knows I'm miserable now is a beast of a tune. As it goes I'm generally a positive person, unfortunately what I've said above is pretty accurate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoN was supposed to make it easier for "lesser ability " teams to take part in a significant way. Can't see that as more often than not (except in a few rare cases ) they are cannon fodder at worst or no-hopers at best. Bit pointless really these "qualifiers". And no, I am not a Smiths fan.

OveFundinFan Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 The SoN picked up when it got to the final stage last year, until then it was pretty boring, just like last week in Germany. Tonight may well follow in last weeks footsteps. Ans as for team riding, almost non existent. I know Doyly wont be riding tonight, but he thinks team riding is looking over your shoulder looking for your team mate as you cross the finishing line. Unless Togliatti sets the world on fire it will all be a damp squid, and the track doesnt seem like one thats going to produce classic quality racing.

We will have a chance, Craig goes well around the place. Tonight will be boring imo. While it’s a fair track there are huge gaps in terms of ability. Latvia may have a say but the top 3 are clear as day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted May 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 There was overnight rain and track was ripped up this morning making track very grippy to start practise. It slickened off towards end so should be better for tonight. Just hope Phil Morris doesn’t interfere too much as let’s Andy Meredith get in with it when to water etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been very grippy which has made it a bit 1 line. The weather hasn’t helped. The top lads tonight with strong motors will sail off into the sunset and passing will be at a premium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it's not a damp squib, we'll be OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dornier Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Just had a cloud burst at four o clock and its steady rain now up here in Yorkshire. Dont worry cloud bursts dont last all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry1603 Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Very sunny in Manchester now - might end up being dusty track conditions unless they've heavily watered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 They normally grade every 4 heats & water after 8 even though it rarely says so on the updates site. It normally keeps it in a raceable condition keeping dust non-existent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Central Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) They did not win last year. Really stupid to harp on about it. It will only lead to people remembering that Russia got the win by getting the tactics right in the final.

Tactical Joker Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Nice evening here. Hope some of the racing is competative but not expecting a classic. Programme scorecard isn't great, riders names are in white on a black background. Forgot to bring my white ink pen for the changes. Still if that's the only moan......
