Trackrat Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Very good meeting IMO, some decent racing in the rain. Think Birmingham will be found wanting in heats 13 & 15 without an out & out number one. Credit to James Shanes, gave it a real go in heat 15, just pipped on the line by Bomber.

He had been gating well in the conditions and simply just missed the gate in the final heat otherwise he would of been right in the middle of the action again, as he seems to be always. I actually think he deserved his final ride for the night. I accept your opinion...but, for me, Shanes is stronger than Pearson atm, so why wouldn't you put Shanes in ? Anyway, the fact that Pearson came last, proves my point. I read a comment from Hobbit yesterday commending Rogers for leaving Pearson in in Heat 14 at Oxford (Pearson came second...) ? Rogers just got lucky....it wasn't tactical to leave him in? Rogers just doesn't have a scooby do when it comes to tactics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your guest would always go out for you and try and get the win. Spineless management , youd offer Howarth extra to go out and try and get a result. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just shrunk his market value immensely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he didn't have the bottle last night.....when it mattered ? or he had a mechanical issue ? 2 sides an all that ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I read that he didn't ride in ht15 last night because he thought conditions were too bad. He's the one risking life and limb so I'd say fairplay to him.

Just depends on what was agreed when the booking was taken, often now guest bookings are on a guarantee, often they are agreed 4 rides only, no heat 15 or tacticals, just depends whether the rider or promotion are in the driving seat when it's arranged. Who needs who the most. The skill is in the negotiation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trackrat Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 “I know Kyle was the obvious choice to go out with Sedgy (Justin Sedgmen) in Heat 15 but he felt the track was deteriorating by that point with the way the rain was coming down.“At the end of the day, he’s come in as a guest for us, he’d already ridden well to score ten points, he’s got an important meeting for his parent club Sheffield on Thursday and with all of that in mind I had to respect his wishes.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is 1 guest who you would have no problem with regarding going out to race THE BOMBER HARRIS.Just unfortunate for Brummies that the Berwick fixture was postponed.

GiveusaB Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 And despite the best efforts of Shanes, it was legendary British duo Scott Nicholls and Chris Harris, who was a late guest for Oxford with initial booking Nick Morris stuck on the motorway at 5pm, who sealed victory for the Cheetahs Stuck on the motorway my ar#se ! So where did Bomber travel from when he got the call at 5pm ? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
