Shaleshifter Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 Well done to the Gladiators tonight. Thoroughly deserved on the night. Chris Harris was a good choice of guest and his track craft was sublime. Not the best of nights for the Pirates but that's Speedway. The Gladiators will be a tough nut to crack at home. Well done, just remember you Gladiator fans the Pirates will be hungry for revenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) Just got in and wish I had stayed at home and watched the stream instead. Pirates were on a 5-1 in heat 1 when Zac lost a chain and from then on it was a hard night at the office. Plymouth ran off several 4-2’s, only for Pirates to reply with three of their own to level at 21-21. But then the tractors came out and removed all the dirt from the track and piled it up on the center green on the back straight. It made the meeting into first out of the second bend and although Pirates occasionally gated, very poor decisions coming out of the second bend allowed the Plymouth riders through and the races were over by the third bend. Unless you were Chris Harris who put in his usual shift against Poole and was outstanding, blasting inside and outside and unstoppable. Only he could do this. Poor decision making and not being hard enough made the meeting a bore (unless Harris was in a heat) as it was follow the leader. But take nothing away from the Plymouth team who knew where to put their bikes coming off the second bend to win tonight easily. I doubt any team will win at Plymouth for the remainder of this season. You know it’s a track with plenty of home advantage when you see riders like Bowtell beat top championship riders like Steve Worrall with ease. (No disrespect aimed at Bowtell) A fair result, no qualms about it. In the scheme of things it means little as neither Leicester or Glasgow will get anything there either. Well done to Plymouth. Nice to have a chat with Lewi before the meeting. Edited May 3, 2022 by Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
