Redcar v Berwick KO Cup 31/3/23


Recommended Posts

Solid team display with the second strings chipping in with points and Edwards riding like a man possessed until he (understandably) tired towards the end.

Scary looking crash for Mulford in Heat 2, ploughing into the fence at high speed and fortunate it wasn’t more serious.

Bandits looked short on practice and it didn’t bode well when Flint took a tumble on his practice lap. Schlein was excellent and Jorgensen had flashes but not much else. 
 

Not a lot of good races on a slick track but given the recent weather just glad to have some speedway to watch.

Missed the parade did Flint fall in that.Thought it was maybe at the Berwick Press and Practice.Rory looked sharp(his kindof track,slick and dry )TJ and Jonas put in a good show.

He fell off on the practice lap they do a few minutes before the parade. Didn’t see him come off but he was limping and being attended to by the paramedics for a few minutes.

Not sure if it is a league ride thing, but so far this season both teams have had a couple of minutes of practice laps before the parade at Redcar. Did not see it myself either but that's when Flint came off, looked pretty painful. 

Fairly run of the mill meeting in the end, slick track (understandably) meant gating at a premium. Schlein impressed with soms good gating and hard first bends. 

Edwards was excellent with Hume and Bailey also looking decent

Did Riss touch the tapes with his wheel,looked like it was just his helmet peak,though you didn’t get excluded for that offence.Watch Polish match last night and think Woryna done the same and wasn’t excluded.

Could the ref not just exclude the rider for "delaying the start" in that instance?

Enjoyed the day down at Redcar. Edwards rode very well . Score was about what a lot of Berwick fans thought. Positives in TJ and Rory looking decent, Jye getting a full meeting in and Cole’s a bit unlucky with mechanicals. Jonas looked decent too. Overall a decent day and must say thanks to all at Redcar as it seems a very well run unit. Ps the food was cracking .

Yes each team had a minutes practice before the start. Flint lost control and fell hitting the fence near the starting gate.

Is this a new or were Redcar just being generous.

It seems to be a new thing they are trying, it then means the riders ride out in order to be introduced to the crowd, without helmets, so no stopping to do practice starts etc. one lap and straight back into pits.

Personally I like it - with a normal parade the riders all sit with helmets on then it is a mad rush to get pushed off  and absolute total chaos - just feels more professional way to start the proceedings

Gary Flint saying lack of competitive track time costing Berwick a few points,then why would you want to start the season with the KO cup,especially as there are few spare dates for most Clubs this season.

 

Bad excuse for me, should've started with a challenge match (against Newcastle) if they were concerned about being rusty!
