Rowe just not improving

It's a puzzle, he looks fast enough and has a good style but just can't get out of the gate and looks tentative behind other riders. Was as fast as Worrall in heat 14 but kept hesitating into the bends which gave him no chance to pass.

Josh Pickering was sensational again, his race with and pass of Doyle in heat 9 was top drawer.

Rowe looked very good for his age at Somerset, but  not pushing on

I would have said he doesn't have a great style,,, right elbow way too high,,, you don't see any top riders do that,, and I'm guessing there is a pretty simple reason why.

Agree, the only rider i have seen with elbow that high is Hans Andersen

Josh Pickering to me is everything you want see from a rider.Balls of steel,a never say die attitude,and a great showman who loves to get the crowd involve.Like i said last week thanks Sheffield.

What i now don't understand though is,the Lynn track has had plenty of criticism over the years about the lack of racing.But how come one rider can make it look a great track.So is it the lack of riders now that are willing to give it a go rather than the track being poor.

The track looks fine  when Josh takes to it. It's  not as grippy this year .It might help some and hinder others, but it seams to work for this team.

Sign Josh for next season now i say:t:

Hans has both high,,, Rowe only has one high,, and that's so he has the throttle in a certain position in the corners,,, something he obviously found easier to control when learning,, but now it's a hinderence to moving body position and quick change of lines during bends.  He Is sort of locked into one position because of it

Thanks for the pint Speedball. Nice to meet a match going fan:t:

Pleasure mate, always pay my dues. It just reminds me why I should never bet.

Tonight’s result should have been a good one for you ;)
