When every other rider has a guest covering him, it’s just up to his average irrespective of the team’s total average. So it should be the same for Rising Stars. Couldn't have put it any better myself! For example Newcastle wouldn't be allowed Craig Cook as a guest for an injured Ben Barker just because they're 4 odd points below the limit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really crump was trying to point it out to the referee but he somehow didn't see it,strange you saw multiple riders doing it but missed auty when crumpy was pointing it out Edited May 23, 2021 by lewy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebelDan Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 For anyone that was at the meeting today were the four Plymouth riders who failed to beat an opponent as bad as their scores suggest or were there any signs of optimism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook and Ruml looked awful. Goret struggled but he never gave up, He'll come good but may take a season to get going. Bowtell didn't look great but have seen him do well in the past I'm sure he'll be fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The riders that didn't beat an opponent were very poor out of the gate,scunny were on it and we were well beaten, but I'm optimistic we will improve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this i actually thought Goret looked fast on track but was terrible out the gate! Cook and Ruml and Bowtell were a mile off the pace Pedersen very good was a class above everyone Crump was a little disappointing but hes my favourite all time rider so might just of been my un-realistic expectations Scunny looked decent but will have far harder tests, was surprised by Pjiper though looked fast.. Track was pretty poor today and basically a Pedersen dream track of which he took full advantage and was very good but understandable considering weather etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry,have to disagree,was that not the first time any of them had ridden the track? I may be wrong,they were off the pace a little but not by much,they all look to have potential.hardly any falls amongst them either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Goret looked like he had some pace however the others were really quite bad Theo Pijper and Kyle Howarth were nearly a straight clear after one lap in one of the heats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moranboys Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Can only wonder why the referee put crump back 15 metres,for protesting at autys tyre warming? He spoilt what was potentially a damn good speedway race, Scunthorpe had the meeting won,but he should have used his discretion and not penalised him.again the paying public get short-changed because of one act of lunacy by the ref.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
