Arch Stanton Posted May 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Quite enjoyable meeting I thought with some decent racing at times. Good job there’s a Mickey Mouse cup thingy to get warmed up before the proper stuff starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why you think they're throwing averages? Fricke has a poor record at Foxhall. If the Regs allowed some flexibility, team managers could actually set their teams up for the tracks they are visiting. Just because Fricke is #1 in the averages, doesn't mean he's the ideal #1 at every track. Edited May 6, 2022 by Roger Jacobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t mention that the switch made when Starke came in got us a 5-1. could easily have stuck with Rowe as he was doing OK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t mention that the switch made when Starke came in got us a 5-1. could easily have stuck with Rowe as he was doing OK. Expand It’s become popular to jump on the bandwagon and stick the boot in on Hawkins at every given opportunity these days unfortunately and it’s getting a bit tiresome. “It was an amazing effort by Doyley to do four rides given that he has a perforated eardrum and is really under the weather. To put four rides in and get three wins was an amazing effort, it was a leader’s performance” There simply HAD to be an explanation and I’d have thought it was pretty obvious that it wasn’t because the manager tactically thought he had two better options. I certainly don’t agree with every decision he makes and I still don’t like the riding order seeing Riss at 2. But hearing him give his reasons for the riding order before the meeting it was hard to argue. King and Barker go back a long way and have ridden together many times in their Birmingham days and enjoy riding together, so after speaking to the riders he paired them up. Fair enough. Just then leaves one decision, Riss and Batch at 2 or 5. Edited May 6, 2022 by Arch Stanton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand And no one has mentioned the inspired decision to put Batchelor at 5 who did very well not to wipe out Doyle in heat 11 when on a max. Several riders were picking up extra unwanted drive on bend 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yes so correct. What this site does show is the amount of people in life who just want to moan. It was obvious that Doyle must have had a problem but those keyboard warriors just wanted to jump on Richie Hawkins without knowing any facts. I was very impressed with the team effort last night and shows we not a bad team when we have our full 1-7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now your criticism has shifted from the manager to the rider? Firstly, I’d say his effort last night was very commendable no? Unless for some warped reason you’re saying he hasn’t got a perforated eardrum and someone is lying? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siggytastic Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 No doubt it was a much better team performance but we won't ride a team whose GP rider number 1 scores 3 points very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
