Siggytastic Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 Says in the speedway Star that Erik returned to Germany for tests "on a debilitating condition which He described as brain fog and dizziness" so is going to have blood tests, MRI scan and checks on His heart. Hope its nothing too serious and He gets well soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest bummer is losing Thomas as I think he was one of the better rising stars - at this stage it seems a step too far for joe How bizarre! I made no comment about changes. Even though he defeated Bewley, Hume still only scored 6 from 7, which simply isn't good enough by the senior reserve at home ... and I doubt that he will improve significantly.

But you can't just pick a lower averaged reserve & expect him to score well just because he's stronger than the RS! Also Ipswich wouldn't have needed so much from Hume, if they gave him a stronger reserve partner! One strong reserve is a key ingredient of a successful team. They chose Hume, and he will be expected to do better - I'm sure Hume will want to do better too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Riss not available for a misdemeanour for Redcar ( nowt to do with Ippo) you do need your other team members to score their average . Rain affected track wouldnt have helped the less experienced riders. Misdemeanour? He was unwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly did - looked like Wright was gonna nut him. Rode into him like you would an opponent you were pissed with and stuck the lid in. Then when they dismounted at the pit gate went at him again screaming and finger pointing right in his face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot In the standard cut and thrust of lap 1 Brennan possibly blocked Wights run and effectively ended his challenge for the lead Have seem plenty worse - certainly no need for that reaction From memory on previous visits when with Somerset Wright seemed to have a similar lack of understanding when partnered with Starke.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hume scored 5+1 from his 4 programmed rides including a 5-1 with Emil over two riders who are significantly higher ranked than him - he was never going to score in heat one unless he got third! he had 6 rides not 7 (the updates site is wrong) one was RR in heat one the other replacing his reserve partner late on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good lad Charlie... A bit of passion never went amiss.. You don't have to be friends to be winners in team sport.. Cole and Sheringham once won a treble not talking to each other...

Wright was in my view one of the reasons you won on Thursday! he generally goes well at Foxhall. I’ve argued with team mates in football a fair bit over the years always forgotten about afterwards!

Bagpuss Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 I like Charles Wright and I understand emotions run high in what's an adrenaline filled sport but an experienced rider chastising a young teammate on track isn't a good look IMO. Hopefully Mark Lemon has nipped it in the bud and warned CW about his future conduct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeW436 Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 Will always have a soft spot for Charles when he went for a move in the Grand Final in 21’ and totally changed the momentum of that first leg not the sharpest tool in the shed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
