IronScorpion Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Also, last years no 1 for the last 2/3rds of the season. Let's see which versions turn up on Friday. Jake having a mare, scorewise, at Belle Vue this dinner time. Seems he is missing a bit of speed, grunt, so needs a bit of tinkering to find the issue. He is not breaking down, like Harris early form so maybe engine issue(valves, springs, service not the same as usual, electrics, plug, fuel filters) so much to check to find a fault. The bikes look so similar but just 1 bit not working right causes issues. I think I have read somewhere that Josh Auty has blown 3 engines so far & was seeking out a new one only last week.

kevin bass Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Jake was very poor for Ipswich last season and looks like he's carried the same form into this season at the mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah doesn’t look the same rider that we saw a few years ago at Scunny just seems to be really struggling for speed which is a real shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Having seen Jake at Sheffield last thursday. He looked like he was on a sit on lawnmower rather then a bike. I'm sure his fortune will turn around though. Full expect a convincing Scorpions win despite the 4 ex Scunny riders in the Brummies side.

Don't see why he would want to leave a track he earns good money on to join a track where he wouldn't make half as much money due to him not being half as good on those tracks.

Jake Allen in the right frame of mind will earn good money on any track in the UK imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't commented on the scorpions in ages,i have mentioned one of their riders who if he does start showing his true form will make scunny very strong especially at home. Read the posts a few times IS and SD before you comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluenose Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Looking back to Scunnys win against Leicester the other week, Leicester had D Thompson at 3 .Brum have Auty, i fully believe Brum will come together fully and to win 46-44.

Can’t see that happening unless Ellis suddenly takes a liking to the EWR as he was poor last year and Auty rides like he used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric i Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 I am not sure what to make of the Leicester win now Plymouth beat them 30 points. Birmingham have got 4 former Scunny riders, this could be a lot closer than some think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
