Clearly doesn’t understand a track can be fixed, bumps and holes can VE taken out to produce a very good race track. Agree with Mikebv that it was slicker last week, the first time this season. But no bumps or holes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobC Posted August 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 'People in glass houses shouldnt thrown stones' springs to mind about the state of tracks. Last night the track wasnt good at all. Riders being thrown around in all directions. Very inconsistent. Surprised there wasnt an accident, tbh. Several 1st turn crashes caused because riders were unable to turn properly. Masters in Ht1 lifting and almost put Crump into the refreshment hut. All riders looking uncomfortable and some like bucking broncos. Then we had the track work once Bjarne had been out. Its happened every single meeting this season that Ive been to. (Only missed the Leicester meeting). He always asks for lots of top surface to be removed. It took a fair few heats before the track settled down. Mark and his team must have done almost as many laps as the riders. He does work hard at it and its certainly not like that every week. Not had anything like that at Poole this season at all! Well done to Plymouth for what is probably the shock result of the season.(Other than Poole winning at Leicester of course!) Ht14 had to be seen. Bend one, a 4-2 to Edinburgh, bend 2 5-1 to Plymouth, bend 3 5-1 to Edinburgh, bend 4 5-1 to Plymouth..I genuinely thought that there was going to be a crash, they were all so close. Some seriously hard 1st turns from Masters ,leaving others just enough to stay upright. He had it done back to him in his last 2 rides and gave up in both! Impressed with Thomson, very stylish and got stuck in. Disappointed in Pickering though, expected a lot more. The main difference for Plymouth was having a second reserve scoring points.Edwards rode well and a little unlucky to only have 3 rides. Needs must I suppose. Pedersen, Keleher and Bowtell were excellent value. A deserved win for Plymouth. Once or if Crump gets going around there, someone is going get a right thumping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Team is set up to win races and keep it close then hit them in the last 3 with masters worrall and Pickering. 2 down going into heat 13 I was confident we would turn that around with them 3 in those races, however last night just didn’t happen. Don’t think we will lose the last 3 races 13-5 very often if at all again this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edmon Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) What was the referee's reason for pulling back heat 14.? Green light activated, tapes went up and Edinburgh riders started, but Plymouth riders sat still.

Mike0310 Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 No comment on the heat above then and zanes brilliant move oh no you wouldn’t comment on that would you but I suppose at wonderful Wimborne road you have 15 heats like that every week….. not.

Someone's got their pants in a twist! No, I wouldn't want to watch speedway every week at Plymouth but then I wouldn't want to watch it at Eastbourne either. I am not a fan of small tracks and even less interested in whatever Zane is doing. Although wasn't Zane at Poole last week watching? Bit weird to attend a meeting when you've been sacked, but okay!

Just an observation from watching the race that is all. If they kept it tight on the kerb that pass doesn’t happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
