Only able to replace with a 2* rising star and he’s been riding better than that. Missing 3 of your starting 7 is not ideal. There is a bunch of rising stars riding better than 2* though so it's not the worst thing, although Jenkins will be missed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringitsneck Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 As a neutral ( but a season ticket holder too ) it’s a shame to see the Bears having such bad luck. On paper the team looked fantastic but they hadnt really clicked all at once and now injuries are ripping the team apart. Due to having such a good race track ( and benefitting from our hasty decision to part with a great track curator ) with no real home advantage you had a team of ‘ racers ‘ but , as Eastbourne proved, you need to have some gaters as well. Losing Stewart weakened the team ( R/R not really getting the expected points ) but losing two good young prospects at reserve will be almost impossible to cover with a Friday night race night. Not sure on the rules for covering their absence but Blair would be a consideration ( is he a “rising star “ ? ). Thought Serjeant was unlucky on Friday, in point scoring positions in his races just lacked top end speed and I think he’s worth his place as teams are too quick to dump riders and I dont see Redcar being like that . I hope the Bears do pick up and make the play offs. I bought my season ticket based on the quality of the racing at the STMP over the passed few years once Terry the Track was brought in and I haven’t regretted a penny of it. Wish I could say the same about my own team but hopefully things will pick up there too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was really trying on Friday, (and the week before), but he looked like his motor was a little too fast and he was spinning up a little and struggling for traction. We should not give up on him too soon, its not the way Redcar works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the gradings of the 1* & 2* were spot on. 1* based on NDL experience only(some of them only 1 year riding) & 2* based on limited riding experience & low average. It is the 3* & 4* that are more questionable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably experienced enough, but not certain that he knows how to correct it. He is in the Enzville camp, so they should know.

Justgotmecpc Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Should be a good meeting Friday at Redcar with the under 21's & hopefully young Archie gets a ride if Anders is still out & scores a few points..pity I'll be at work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rode well in the semi final and was unlucky to miss out. Shame that both Bears will be missing, they would have had a good chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i feel its hard to look past Brennan but if Flint is fit and Kemp is up for it then they could put up a good fight. Plenty of spoilers in the field too so any slip ups and title has gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
