Belle Vue v Peterborough Panthers - Grand Final


Recommended Posts

Fully deserved and congratulations to Peterborough Panthers , were the better "team" over the two legs. Really impressed with Dan Bewley , what a racer his heat win in 13 would of been worth the admission money alone. Really good meeting over two legs and fair play to the Panthers and the Aces.

Bewley can't team ride to save his life.

Imagine losing a grand final and then doing s wheelie. Does he have no shame?

 

Bewley is on the way up make the most of it he won’t be riding here next year if he is serious about making it bid time

Think writing was on the wall once Kurtz wasn't riding, not his biggest fan but he can be blisteringly quick at the EoESg. Could Ace's not use a guest? Not sure on rules any more.

Gutted for Belle Vue fans & Bewley, hope it's not his last league meeting in the UK but suspect that is likely unless the Polish authorities change their rules. Brennan did Ok, the Ace's engine room misfired.

Happy for Panthers fans.

Didn't think track was great, didn't produce much racing wise until late.

In my time we’ve  been jeered as the losing team by Bristol, Cradley, Coventry, Exeter, Hackney, Halifax, Hull, Lakeside, Newcastle, Newport,  Reading, Rye House, Swindon. White City, Wimbledon and now Peterborough. I wish those team could jeer us in years to come. :sad:
Winners?

He has 2 matches Friday and Saturday for Glasgow.

And to be fair to him, he was only a 'soldier of fortune' for one night only, so quite understandably could have felt 'job done', said his goodbyes and cleared off for a long old drive home..

And looks like some work to do on his bike too in time for those two matches so the faster he gets that sorted the better...

He needs to concentrate on poland and possibly Sweden if he s going to make it big  good luck to the lad 

You think Elitserin is better than what we have? From what I've watched, it's predictable with very uneven teams & the racing is generally poor.

It obviously pays worthwhile as most of the top GP riders returned towards the end of the year... that saidt he use of squads means riders don't always get called upon. Don't think Lejonen used Lambert for the last half of the season until the playoffs.

So did I mate, so did I,  the rot set in when Lemon put 2 reserves out at the point where we could've built on the start we'd made.  From there on in it was one way traffic.

Think tonight showed that the RS system has  been a success for some riders Palin was good for a 1* but the best RS for the season has to be Tom Brennan he will go far if he steers clear of injuries, rode so well tonight when under pressure in races and he was in the end Bewley best back up

Understand that col mate but  unfortunately the top riders choose to race there so in my eyes racing against the top lads makes you sharper

What we have over here and provided in the last month has been very good. We need more meetings of this calibre with crowds and TV exposure

Unfortunately that is the regular comment every year post play off time...

A fantastic sport, sadly undermined and undersold by the very ones who underpin it with cash...

Can never cross over into mainstream sports or wider media due to the way it's ran, but still a great spectacle and night out if you don't take the team element too seriously and just enjoy what can truly be (uniquely) a breathtaking sport....

As shown particularly on Monday and to a lesser, (but still entertaining enough), degree tonight...
