Arch Stanton Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Probably Batchelor’s favourite track? Or one of them certainly. Nearly always goes very well here as does Doyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly always goes very well here as does Doyle. Doyle goes well everywhere. As for Batchelor never had it in my head that he was a track specialist i.e. I never feared a visit from him. Perhaps the stats say otherwise ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Batchelor a Monmore specialist I think he was less disappointing at Monmore for Sheffield last year than some other tracks. I do remember seeing him employing the typical Monmore tactics for riders that don't really know how to ride it last year: Locking up on the white line on the apex of turns 1 & 2 to stop any riders nipping up the inside as they start the back straight. Somewhat effective but far from quick or pleasant on the eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a visiting rider who has never had Monmore as a home track, I’d say that was pretty impressive personally for a rider of his standing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Jorgensen on the other hand has a pretty poor Monmore record so that weakens Wolves. Witches got to be targeting at least a point here. Hume replaces Rowe for Witches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought Wolves is a track that Hume would very much struggle on,,, I'm sure he will be chucking his bike at the fence frequently,, where as Rowes style would suit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t really matter does it? You can be ill today and feel better tomorrow. No need to pull a fast one here as the club can replace Rowe with Hume at any time they wish without giving a reason.

BrizHeathen Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Hope Dougie isn't too battered, Nick Morris also took a heavy fall in Poland yesterday, although he did finish his particular meeting and won his last race. Could be an interesting night at Monmore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 The injury to Douglas should mean Ipswich's chances of getting something from the meeting have gone up quite a few notches now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
