In the Champ he has been doing well home and away. Covering well for Steve Worrall's lack of form atm. Basso is more of a concern as he has been doing very well for Glasgow, so it is strange he is struggling for Peterborough so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basso was off remember at the end of last season and then I imagined was promised the world to come back, now it’s turned out the way it has he will be feeling pretty fed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basso been screwed over by whichever Champ promoters decided not to do 2H and 2A. As he wasn't going to do Prem if that went ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it was beyond the realms of possibility he couldn’t have beaten Rew and certainly had the potential to win heat 2 I think in 5 maybe 6 matches he has won heat 2 once … the way the team is built he needs to be winning more of those he is a championship heat leader But he is doing an ok job in a side that is pretty pathetic to be fair Can anyone else hear the grinding of teeth!!? Ha ha. Fair play Gav. Due to visa issues this is the first year that Ben Cook could race in more than one league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not having a go at Ben Cook lol He has progressed pretty well especially for you guys and is doing great at that level In the top league he hasn’t done much to be fair but as I said the team he is riding for must be zapping his confidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking things a bit too far now Look at Ben's Champ scores H+A and tell me he hasn't been doing well esp at Oxford when you look at their HLs. That is just the truth, no bias. Prob just jinxed him for tonight now! At least he has Poole to fall back on so doesn't lose too much confidence. Being at Peterborough has prob showed him that he has it good at Poole.

foreverblue Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 If I remember correctly Ben started the season slowly but came good when it mattered , personally I have no issue with him as in general he has been terrific for Poole, he did struggle at places like Leicester last season but there is no reason why he should struggle at Peterborough. I would expect Zach to struggle more as he is not quite the same level as Ben. Both are good riders though and I would think they will both improve later in the season.

He was pressuring riders ahead, made a couple of good starts and passed as well. He was only passed by iversen in heat 9 because he was trying to overhaul Rew and made a mistake. Peterborough's weaknesses are elsewhere. from programmed rides Danyon 4+1 and Cook 3+1 - kind of what you expect a reserve to get really. Both will have better days - seems errors kept their scoring down a bit last night (for the record wasn't there either just going of updates and the heat details and comments on here) Fast forward a couple of seasons and you would hope both in the 1-5 positions Edited May 12, 2023 by GeneralMelchett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the Pedersen money going? Crowds have been up but that will soon change. There's championship riders better than what we have currently Who is they? I've no idea who is running the show. The only person with responsibility and authority appears to be happy just to go through the motions for another 14 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of use and interest? Just the sort of thing AEPG need to bulldoze the speedway infrastructure and claim that there isn't the interest to save it or provide an alternative elsewhere: excellent negotiating policy and position! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aries Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 Really enjoyable meeting I thought with some good racing. BSN doing a great job with the streams. Rew looks a very talented rider, if he continues to improve and provides this sort of scoring to back up Doyle Emil and King then Ipswich are going to take some stopping.
