Surely IRR in heat 5, then T/S in heat 6 to replace Greg Blair would have been the best option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still use a reserve in 5 and put Jorgensen in 6 for an extra ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanAndersen Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Lots of stoppages tonight? I’ve been back home in Edinburgh for about 20 mins having seen 15 heats at Armadale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been back home in Edinburgh for about 20 mins having seen 15 heats at Armadale! 2 withdrawals. Knudsen hit the metal fence in heat 2 and Piper had a horrible head-on impact with the air fence in heat 8. We've also had Greg Blair exchanging signals with the ref at one point (although the ref was in the right). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 I have seen some fantastic races over the years at Ashfield but Heat 13 tonight has got to be one of the best I have witnessed. Basso again showing what a talent he is but an all round strong performance and well done to Tom on his full maximum. Couple of nasty crashes hope both Jonas and Ace aren’t badly hurt but both were down to rider error thought the track was excellent tonight with multiple lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Heat 13 best heat I have seen for a very long time. Both sides at one point on 5-1s and could throw blanket over 3 riders at the finish. Track was grippy which made it one lineish but made up for it in heat 13. Both crashes unfortunately pilot error hope both riders aren't out for too long. TJ was very good and Blair got stuck in but rest of bandits were a bit disappointing.

That would be the sensible thing to do anyway... It's not "winner takes all" in the superheat, 2 points for a winning-draw and 1 point for a losing-draw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of points awarded, you are right, but tonight was about topping the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon often gets the extra rides. Happened in the reverse fixture too, I think. Surely not nepotism? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
