Jaizer Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 Just in from family party didn't see that result coming, Edwards only getting 1 is a real shock. Hoping with bomber in the side we might get 35 at Poole this season lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was standing on the 2nd bend, Worrall was ahead going into the corner, Edwards tried to drop it on him, but he was half a bike behind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Ben, and especially Zach, are young riders learning their way. Vissing isn’t as good as he was (though still a very decent rider) It will be interesting to see who is the better rider in a couple of years time between the Cooks and Basso. I expected Ben Basso to have a Stellar rise last year but it failed to materialise. Perhaps it was a year of consolidation. Will Basso have a career path of Nikolai Klindt or Nicki Pedersen? I don’t expect either of the Cooks to have such a career but both could make solid heat leaders in both the Championship and Premier league. Basso upper his average from a 5.00 assessed to an 8.5 ave & got over 6 in the Prem. Were you expecting more from him?

Does anyone know what was his true, not official, average at the beginning of 2022? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted May 21, 2023 Report Share Posted May 21, 2023 So if I heard it right, BSN commentary said the final legs would be in June?! Will Glasgow want to ride on a Wednesday at Poole during the Danish season?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 5.7, so quickly, he certainly hit the ground running. Huge potential but will 2023 be his last year in UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is only a week before Danish break, so maybe they might not have a meeting the week before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates already agreed to Glasgow at home in the League on Weds 5th July to accommodate the Danish break.

SPEEDY69 Posted May 21, 2023 Report Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) Edwards didn't deserve the exclusion, if he'd carried on wider he'd have crashed because Worrall only just made it sound the turn. Exact same as the Doyle gp crash for me. Ref sticks with the bigger name. Ben Cook though is one for the future - hugely impressive at Foxhall recently for Peterborough, not that many points but the way he rode. Poole much superior from the starts and King made several schoolboy errors. Edited May 21, 2023 by SPEEDY69 Spellng Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole have a blank on June 28 and Glasgow have nothing on June 30 so they seem obvious dates, although Glasgow are due at Wimborne on July 5 in the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given we seem to be oddly setting precedence with the Redcar KO cup Although checking Glasgow fixtures on spare Friday is 30th June unless move some around like the Edinburgh away match. Not like they won't have some spare fixtures this season Edited May 21, 2023 by Jaizer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the refs in both incidents got it right, Rider on the inside ahead going into the corner, don't deviate from their lines, rider on the outside behind, and tries to drop it on the inside rider. Worrall went wide because Edwards clipped his bike. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worrall went wide because Edwards clipped his bike. I think a rider would always see that differently. Having been in that situation the only one with the ability to avoid an accident is the rider on the inside - by turning his bike he collides with the guy on the outside. The outside rider cannot turn right. Edited May 22, 2023 by SPEEDY69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
