OK thanks.Just wondered if it was averages that stopped them being used as replacements but looks not.Kind of makes you wonder why bother have a bullets team when you don't give the riders a chance.Maybe both were having a shower and didn't hear their phones ringing

That would be a surprise when Greg was in the pits all night on Friday! Does seem odd.

Exactly, when it's a 2 pointer a bullet should be used imo.

I'd assume when the Bullets have matches the selling point would be you're seeing future Bandits, but to not even give them guest bookings removes that theory!

Not saying it was Berwick's fault but 2 of their most promising riders last year Pijper & Harrison went elsewhere.

Obviously I'll still give credit to Berwick for entering a NL team.

What a difference a week makes wouldn't think it was the same team, well done to all the Bandits for a great weekend in both matches a special mention must go to young Luke never seen anyone try harder gave 100%in each of his races.

Anyone seen Josh's instagram? Not sure he was a fan of the Berwick track tonight! 

What makes you think that? He’s just jokingly saying he has a large todger? Anyways he didn’t even manage to turn his bike, him and TJ tangled going into the first bend, so he’s hardly going to be moaning about the track.

He only rode about 40 yards of it.

Done better than expected tbh. Losing Josh In heat 1 was a massive blow. Cook with major bike issues also after cruising to 3 easy wins. Paco and lasse got better as the night went on lasse was very impressive. Both Jacob and Kyle started okay then faded. Kye up and down like a rollercoaster. 
 

Thought young killen as much of a trier as he was, was completely out of control and is either going to hurt himself or someone else badly. Didn’t mange to make it back to the pits once without putting himself in the fence. Trying a bit too hard imo.

Oh yeah lol, looked at it properly now! Trouble with instragram stories as they move along quite quickly in my defence (def need to do the pause thing next time :D) and there was talk about Berwick being a bit bumpy earlier, so just assumed it was in reference to that. Haha. Lack of sleep is obviously getting to me, off to put that right! :)

Sorry but a rider with Craig's experience should not have them kind of issues... A mean an EX GP & international rider aswell should have his 2nd bike in condition to win races at championship level & that's not a dig at other riders but his stuff should be top quality

Cookies gained his first three wins after moving at the start.

Rory, TJ, Leon & Connor showed that there was passing opportunities available if you'd wanted them!! Bike problems or not... He's done more than enough laps of our track to know where you need to be! 

Much better this week though against an Edinburgh team who rode with more gusto at our place than their own! Losing Josh in Heat 1 was a big blow for them but they hung on through the meeting... Only falling away in the later heats! 

A much tougher test to come next week in Glasgow & Redcar but hopefully this weekend has rallied us to push on!

Think we can see why Tigers decided that they had enough of him.It wasn’t because of his riding abilities.IMO.

Young Luke sounds very much like his dad Frank trying to get round Wolverhampton and belle Vue many years ago !!

Welcome win for the home side in a meeting where any serious challenge from Edinburgh probably ended with the Pickering accident and subsequent injury. Track conditions where difficult with lots of dust but with the forecast it was understandable with the drizzle during the day. The forecast I posted the other day was pretty much spot on. Odd night for Craig Cook, sublime in the first three rides then completely hopeless in the other two.
