On a night when Poole are getting some positive feedback re the track, shame that some of the usual Poole followers seem to have only one mode of reply. Hope the overnight updates of the injuries are positive aswell. Idiot is a term of endearment so don't know what you're talking about. If I was going to dish out some personal abuse it would be a bit stronger than that. But I'll turn it down for you sensitive souls out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviator Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 It was great to see that the work carried out on the track over the last week or so seems to have had a positive effect. It was also encouraging to see proper track equipment (bowser and bar grader) in use and that the “blade” was left in the yard. Hopefully the latter will be consigned to the local scrap yard before it is allowed to drift back into use... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Eck Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 I know people talk about a racing incident but was last night’s crash caused by Covatti being impatient to get passed Berge? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And reported broken ribs for Covatti, so both out for quite a while, maybe the season I would think and I wish them both a speedy recovery , Had broken ribs a couple of times myself and it is very painful. They were both scoring pretty well too and will be a big loss to the team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurRudge Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Good to see the track is better, and best wishes to the injured riders I always find the result means nothing in the grand scheme of things as long as the lads are ok that is the main thing safety paramount and all that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidder1 Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) In my opinion Nico went for the inside line on turn 1 with just a little too much speed. He straightened up and caught Berge as the photo above shows.. Richie had nowhere to go except into and over Nico. It was agood race so you can't blame the riders for going for it - even if a 3-3 (rather than 2-4) would have been perfectly acceptable!!

If Nico has got through on the inside I felt confident Richie would have got around Berge on the final bend. They spent three laps tripping over themselves trying moves but blocking each other. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouch Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 If The Aces has been winning the curfew would have gone out of the window. Problem with HT8 was Dimitri gated. He couldn’t buy a point away from home up to that point but hitting the front is all that’s required at Poole sadly. I could probably get a result if I started well enough. The sheer frustration for Nico and Richie due to not being able to pass on the Poole track led to the unfortunate incident. Two points for Poole though and that’s all that matters down there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some curfews are often used to suit the promoters. I had two dubious ones last season. A 10pm at Eastbourne, one meeting this year has already hit the 10.40 mark. A 10.15 at Rye House, when the previous meeting went on an hour later. At least at Kent everyone knows it's 8.30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMX Events Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 It was the Referee’s decision to impose a 10.15pm deadline. It was discussed and agreed with both teams and the promotion before the paramedic had even begun his return journey. had the paramedic not returned within any reasonable time to allow for any more racing before that deadline it was agreed we would call a halt. The principle consideration by all concerned was for the fans .... (not withstanding the injured riders’ welfare) 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been going to Eastbourne since the 1970's and had never heard of a curfew at Arlington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
