Looks lightweight sorry to say. Game over. Championship berth in 2023? Rubbish, he's learning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I did a better job at Coventry ( and Peterborough x3, and Mildenhall) than you did in your promoting career….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GP series is ruthless & if he doesn't make the cut-off this season I don't think he'll get a free pass again. He's concerning me because he's constantly looking for the kerb to ride round, everyone passing on the outside. He's always been a battler but he seems extremely nervous in the SGP's for some reason.

The strange thing is that he frequently gets into a good position coming out of the second bend, only to sit and watch as everybody goes past him like he's standing still... He obviously lacks speed, though, particularly when he's at the back. Edited May 14, 2022 by chunky 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie, Doyle, Nicki P and Bartosz wouldn't bat an eye lid to do it if they felt under pressure for horsepower.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, a slower rider CAN win with superior trackcraft - which he hasn't developed yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lad used to ride cycle Speedway and was told "you don't need to be the fastest to win, you just need to be fast enough to win"... Track craft so important... "None shall pass"....

Hackett Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 Congratulations to Max Fricke. Brave decision to take gate 4 but he was confident of making it work. Fair Play. As for the event - racing was pretty mediocre for most of the event. It was like we had gone back 10 years on temporary tracks and excitement was all about reactions after hitting the rut. Two SGP's have been pretty disappointing for the most part. Hope that Michelsen is ok after his soil sample. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the opposite, wether he deserves a spot or not, I reckon Woffy would be 90% sure of a wild card if he finishes in the top 12!

Good job, because the way he is riding this year he is going to need one Its interesting that Fricke, back in the UK this year has won another GP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
