topsoil Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Not a classic by any means, the heavy rain this afternoon put paid to that. The track actually looked like a throwback to the Peter Waite days for the first few heats. Attitude was the difference between the two teams tonight. The visiting number one obviously didn't fancy it and cost his team the chance of a point IMO. Ben Barker as always was value for money. Nico Covatti unlucky to have a recurrence of an old injury. Cracking win for Berwick though and good to see NBJ, Jye and Dany in the points again. Spud obviously still feeling the effects of last week, but Coty looking more confident. Two good wins in the past two weeks over two much more fancied sides than the Bandits. Just like to say as well how good it is as well to see the riders in the crowd afterwards and the number of kids wanting photos taken, giving riders high fives. Those kids go away with memories, tell their friends, it's all great PR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think he’s passing his stinking attitude onto the young riders when he does the training days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandits4eva Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 I’m not one for criticising if I can avoid it but seriously... Rory Schlein... so disappointing to see his attitude... clear as day before the meeting that he wasn’t interested and it certainly showed! What sort of captain displays that attitude... even Henry Atkins and Anders Rowe rode with 10x more heart then he did. Good display from Berwick but tougher teams to come to us still! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just purely unprofessional, but no doubt Gary May will defend him once again. Maybe Gary is going soft - he used to be pretty ruthless but Rory is taking the pee out of him and Somerset with his away performances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Barker seems to have off track problems most seasons ,but it does not effect his on track entertainment level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSC67 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 It may have been the wrong thing to for me to do but when Rory was at the front in HT 11 I was hoping for an engine failure or a puncture so he wouldn't get the win 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
