LisaColette Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 2 hours ago, J-D said: The Poole track is abysmal. Embarrassing state of affairs. Scrape off any bit of dirt before the start and a dust bowl on the warm up laps. No real racing. The traffic light show behind bend three has been more interesting. Should be perfect conditions to prepare a decent race track but no, another nail in the coffin for British speedway. Tbh though they only scraped the dirt off after a long convo with Stevie and Danny so I'm guessing that was agreed. But yes it was bad until H8 and then seemed to settle down a bit.

Was that when he came third with 3 riders in the race. Didn't he fall off, get up, carry on and then when he crossed the line everyone cheered (almost standing ovation level) like he won the race!! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he fall off, get up, carry on and then when he crossed the line everyone cheered (almost standing ovation level) like he won the race!! Rather rude and patronising to a 16 year old. The lad showed true grit and determination to get that point. The conditions were awful. He could easily have simply ridden round for a point. He didnt, he tried hard and fell. He could have given up, like several others had previously. To pick his bike up and get going again is a credit to his training at Newcastle. I was well aware of that being his first ever point at this level. How many others realised this? Very pleased he got it. I applauded his effort. The first of many many more. Personally, I love to see new riders come in and follow their progress. Archie is one whos results I look for. Being thrown in at the deep end is very difficult for him. Getting hammered as well, it wouldnt have been a good feeling for him. He performed professionally. Well done Archie. You did alright.

LisaColette Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) Definitely wasn't being patronising! I was describing the level of applause the crowd gave him. Shame everyone took my post out of context! Phil The Ace has a problem with everything I say so hid isn't surprising. If I said it was sunny, he'd have a problem with that too. Edit - see that suggray and SS liked the original post so they get how I meant it! Edited August 26, 2021 by lisa-colette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
