2ndbendbeerhut Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 As for Batch... Give me 7 characters in one team rather than 7 robots anyday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway is far to friendly these days . Riders in each team shaking hands and hanging around with each other in the pits etc . The sport needs the nicki pedersens of this world more than ever No the sport doesn't need Pedersens, just riders who show passion for their teams and share that passion with their supporters and opposite with away supporters haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was Morris's poor riding rather than any Batch brilliance, if he had not been looking for his partner he wouldn't have run in to Doyle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Fisher esque. You mean a few more dirty riders!!! Noooooo way!!! I'd rather the riders would nod or put their thumb up to the opposition fans when they've beaten home riders or something like that, I don't want to see dirty riding, oh god no Doesn't take much to get the fans going haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 Did Holder fall in this meeting? For a wildcarded 'GP star' his score was low and I was wondering if he'll be at Foxhall on Thursday. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised there hasn't been a book started giving odds on the various excuses , mind if Tobias isn't fit, he may be forced to ride 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i think most people would think King is better than Batchelor and he rides the Wolves track very well so it is debatable if Batchelor scored more than King would have although I appreciate I am biased!!

Not Witches fans though on current showings. Batch did very well against Belle Vue last week, and has a better record in Ht15's than King. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle is a given, you then go with the rider in form to partner him which at the moment is Batch. It was an obvious and sensible choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Norris wasn't averse to throwing the odd gesture to us when he won a heat at Monmore (though he always seemed to do it out of the view of the referee!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSL84 Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 Got to say a big well done to the track staff at wolves last not much dust and some passing on the honest day ever. Was told at 3pm the temperature was 45 on track. Again well done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 Between 98 and 2009 I regularly used to come home saying best meeting ever. Then the following week was even better. The standard of second strings and reserves was much higher then not forgetting more genuine number ones. Just showed last night the track can produce good racing with better riders 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
