Steve Shovlar Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Been an absolute scorcher here today and very windy. Can’t expect anything other than testing conditions from heat 6-7. Nicholls has ridden well at Poole this year and I expect him to easily match Bjerre. Where is Bjerre though? What’s wrong with him? Starke will try as he always does but last time he gated in one and still ended up Stone last. Good luck to him anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would assume he has been released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This to me is where Speedway loses its credibility through having needless guests.. They should just run with six riders, Max Fricke allowed to take one ride and the riders below Bjerre being allowed to take as many of them as Mark Lemon wants up to a maximum of seven rides per rider.. eg Worrall could take all the other three but would need to miss HT 15.. Name a number eight to give cover if any other rider gets injured (eg Kyle Bickely as he is a Colt?), and I am sure the racing wouldn't have suffered, nor the contest be imbalanced. (And let's face it that can happen anyway at anytime)... I can only presume guest riding is now such an integral part of a riders overall package to make the sport pay, it gets used time and time again as the first and only thought..? Be better off giving the extra rides and earning potential to the team mates of the missing rider I would say..

I can't imagine he has been released, he has only done 7 meetings we would have as much or more points to play with if he rode his 8th meeting and he has a meeting for his championship team at the weekend.

Normski Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 On his fb page he has had to pull out of tonight's meeting, and both Berwick meetings at weekend due to illness. Hardly pulling a stroke ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the same Scott Nicholls that scored 7 from the 'easier ' number 3 position for Peterborough at Poole recently As good as Scott is he isnt as good as Bjerre Oh and Bjerre has a genuine injury Starke should get between 2-5 which is all NBJ has been getting Pirates to win by 20 Edited June 27, 2019 by Gavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
