Bewley tonight again gets circa 30% of their points on his own.. Maybe Kurtz at a push could ride with him... A one man team... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruiser Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) Bewley and Kurtz excellent for Belle Vue apart from the dreaded gate 3 ride….You couldn’t really ask more from Charles Wright and Brennan tried hard but you cannot have 2 of the top 5 perform like Worrall and Etheridge when you haven’t got a race winning reserve and expect to win matches Edited August 30, 2021 by Bruiser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Pretty poor meeting sad to say in front of a decent crowd. Usual Monmore fodder with lesser quality riders dialled in and beating visiting riders of a higher calibre. Trick track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry1603 Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I thought that Charles Wright had a decent day (especially at home). Seems to have taken his time to recover his form but I think he's getting there. Bewley, Kurtz and Brennan tried hard, but the rest were woeful. What has happened to Steve Worrall?

Said there were some great races, all "out of the top drawer"... Pity they chose this as the TV meeting then.. On a track that generally doesnt deliver great racing.. The meeting this morning was good. Pearson didn't need any spin, they should have shown more of it. Monmore can produce good racing but you need riders who can ride it, such riders are dwindling fast as the bikes get quicker and emphasis is on Poland is the place to be. Except for the current Wolves septet all the others I'd put in that category currently ride for Peterborough. Kurtz was much better than I expected tonight, thought he'd ride it like Batchelor does(n't). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not had a bad meeting for Poole this season. Hopefully that will continue on Wednesday. Schlein has been the worry and has had a dip the last month. Priority on winning a title this season is my guess. Let’s be honest it’s a 2 horse race in the premier league.

He was fine yesterday! He said he was struggling for power at BV when they interviewed him at Wolves. Wolves is a hard track to ride, maybe he is feeling the pressure too much and isn't he captain as well? More pressure when you're struggling.

OGT Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I have to say, Brady Kurtz's fuel cap is a lovely shade of blue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More pressure when you're struggling. Maybe you're right and the captaincy is weighing a little heavy on his shoulders for BV. He's certainly struggling at the moment for the Aces, if not elsewhere.

Sadly the bikes now dont deliver the racing levels they used to on the tight circuits.. Too grippy and they bite too much and spit riders off.. Too slick and passing is practically impossible without rider mistakes.. Tonight was one of the better meetings I have watched at Wolves over the past few years... Not more than 6/10 though if honest.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when you had the likes of Ermolenko and Correy riding there it churned out boring racing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I always used to enjoy my visits to Monmore... but then I was following Coventry and we usually came away with the points, maybe that had something to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been to Wolves twice, once in playoff SF and Final (different years) as we won there both times! I found it stressful as you are just waiting for Wolves riders to sneak past! I think the key is not to ride mid track but I could be getting mixed up with Lakeside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Screen, Bobby Ott, Shawn Moran, Kelly Moran and Jason Lyones etc were great to watch around Monmore with the outside being the main overtaking line followed.. Sadly now it's pretty much square off the corner to make a long straight, and power up the inside coming out of the turns.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
