racers and royals Posted August 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Zagar and NKI are creeping too near the top 8 for my liking Edited August 31, 2019 by racers and royals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Well done Magic. Nice to see Zmarzlik pull back the points on Madsen as my money's on him this year. Zagar and Iversen proving a lot of people (including myself) wrong tonight, although having no pressure on you would make a big difference I guess. Maybe Lambert should ride angry more often! Great ride to pass Freddie. Hopefully he will get the last wildcard along with Tai, Greg and Doyley who are nailed on I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 As well as ‘riding angry’ Robert has much, much more speed in that last heat of his. Shame it took him four rides to get the set up right but all good experience which is what this year should be about for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make the outside work on 1 and 2 but on 3 and 4 it was far harder.. Lindgren had covered the outside on 1 & 2 for 3 laps and then did the old speedway rider trick of lets change to the inside and let him ride round me. It's this kind of mistake that separates the very good riders from the great riders imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 First signs tonight for me that Zmarzlik has started thinking about the bigger picture & I'm not sure I like it. A few conservative defensive rides holding second rather than chasing the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though Zmarlik was bordering on dangerous in some of his races and IMO he will either cause or be involved in an accident riding in this way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big BZ fan but I don't think he's that bad. Certainly not in Pedersen league of dirtyness Also I have rarely seen him go down when a rider has made a tough move on him. He generally does everything he can to stay up right. With BZ it will come down to staying strong mentally. A lot of pressure on a young rider and I think you can 'get at him' on the first lap and upset his rhythm. If you don't he's generally in another postcode 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone get too upset with Lindgren last night bar Lambert. No and Lambert beat him and we enjoyed the race. Hard riding is great to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
