Cook is not stylish,but he does ok .Think you might be right about Moto cross background ,but has been around a while to change if he wanted.He is a top British rider but that’s it for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aarnio and Berge scored 1 point between them at the Abbey and were woeful Auty is better than both of those riders whatever happens Belle Vue need to make a change.

It was made out of rubbish and it's exactly what it produces.Out of 22 heats there were about 6 where it was a fair circuit, possible to race and succeed using inside, outside, and middle. For the rest, it had only one viable line and actually in the end just became a stunt-riding exhibition. Speedway isn't for you then clearly. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be because Tai voiced his opinion over 'Harris's' selection for the SON ??? Rosco is a dinosaur imo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average at best only one clueless person here, you Top of Peterborough's averages, 2nd top of Redcars averages only due to Riss riding less matches. Has a team in Poland and ridden in a G.P. Qualifier where he was the only rider all day to make overtakes and took Vaclav Milik from the back. and now BRITISH CHAMPION! As I said...YOU have no clue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Congratulations Charles Wright 2019 BRITISH CHAMPION, from all your Somerset fans............. I think most of us could see where you perfected those moves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyTanker Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) You think that's good, that says all I need to know. That's not to you above. And I was saying how poor the depth of current British talent is, not the Charles didn't deserve to win it.

Cook has very rigid upright style which looks a bit ungainly to me. Agree that he is one of the top British riders but I can't see him ever being a regular on the GP circuit. Has got where he has through hard work and application but doesn't possess the natural talent of the best riders I feel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Just caught up with the meeting (I was at Kent last night), a few random observations. All in all a great meeting after a slow start. Charles Wright a well deserved and entertaining winner, kept his focus after that controversial exclusion. Danny Ayres, a legend at Kent and Mildenhall, comes to play with the big boys - and gives it his all. Fantastic entertainer as ever. Wright spent his first four seasons at Buxton - how they are missed Somerset's team building looks even more questionable now. Not a Woffy fan, but I am warming to him. I thought his on air coaching of Danny Ayres showed that he has more to offer speedway than his riding abilities. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Cook is a poor mans Carl Stonehewer . Top second tier rider but nothing more , Stoney mixed it in the GPs for a few years but apart from that their a similar type. Nothing wrong with that of course but he is never going to be better than he is . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrow Boy 2 Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Charles Wright was my pick to win. He should not have disqualified. He won it riding at number 1 which doesn't happen very often. It was ridiculous to label him the underdog.Well done Charles. Hope you continue to progress towards the top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Huge congratulations to Charles Wright not often a rider i want to win it actually does. Glad to see Starkey walk away and lovely to see the unity of riders with bikes, helmets and even boots being leant between each other. The final word has to go to the man the legend Danny Ayres. A great showman and ambassador for the sport, agonisingly close to the heat win he so craved although he may still be on track celebrating now if he had. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Think the rule regarding ‘ if the race is stopped after 1st bend someone has to be excluded “ needs revised.That was definitely a case of All 4 back. IMO.Racing incident, you could have excluded Worrell, Wright or Stark depending how you viewed it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 A decent night at NSS. Weather played it's part big time. We were lucky to get a meeting on after the rain we had over weekend. It made gate 1 very lucrative which is a shame as usually the gates are quite even. It also made the track a little to grippy early on and then produced a line right by the fence if you had the balls to go there. Luckily half the riders did. A massive crowd in the stadium on a Monday night was good to see. I'd say about 2500+. Danny Ayres, auty, Kennet and Harris all produce bravery at the highest level. Felt sorry for danny. Never seen a crowd will a rider on like they did danny Ayres. Everyone was gutted when Harris pipped him. Last but not least Charles wright, bravo sir. A very deserving winner. And a local lad. How hes never rode for us I never know. Wright as improved season upon season. Entertains every meeting. He goes under the radar a lot for some reason. No more now though. Proved his worth. Go and enjoy cardiff mate 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do but we need to do better than the 3 riders mentioned here, two go ok at the NSS whilst do nothing away, the other one does nothing home and away.

The rule is actually 'if the race is stopped the referee shall exclude the culprit' - there's no 'first bend doesn' t count' caveat. So if referees are allowed to regularly ignore that rule by ordering 'all four back' re-runs after a bingle on the first turn, they can theoretically do so at any stage, on any lap. Which would lead to all sorts of stuff, l fear. Last night, the rider 'who was the cause of the stoppage' was maybe 25% Stevie Worrall, 75% Paul Starke. Never Charles Wright. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is there are many occasions where a ref has to exclude somebody as the "cause" of the stoppage when actually it was purely a racing indecent. I agree its ok to bring all 4 back from the first corner but if four riders stay four abreast into turns 3&4 and all come down somebody has to be excluded. If after 1 lap a dog runs onto the track the ref will have to put the red lights on but who gets excluded? by the letter of the law somebody has to.
