He had Lee well beat until a mistake in bend 2 lap 4 and unlike previous visits where he was about 3/4 of a lap off the pace he was there or there abouts in every heat he was in and was unlucky to not get a rerun at the heat where he was pushed to the fence. He is another one that rides in Poland U24's. Think it has helped a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've got it spot on. Look at James Pearson and Connor Bailey who seem to be benefitting from it too. And Kemp, who's previous trips to ashfield havent come to much.

IronScorpion Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 2 on the trot (Ablitt) in heat 9 was a reserve swap for the unfit Mountain or should we have gone with 3 riders only race? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've been as well given the outcome. I'm not having a go it's what a good TM does that doesn't have faith in his riders to keep the score tight in the conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get it. Heats 12 was Tom and Ace against Simon and Nathan, both of whom had been beaten by the aforementioned riders. Heat 13 and 15 would've been another potential heat advantage with Bomber and Basso Leaving heat 14 with RR (think Simon had a ride to spare) and Nathan Ablitt again for Connor. So leaving with a ten point deficit to overturn would be somewhat easier than a 14/16 point to get that extra aggregate point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said wasn't having a go. Same situation what we did against Poole last season. Didn't have the faith in the riders so tried to get it off for another day.... That worked out well lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just IIRC the delayed heat was before Heat 10, so at the time I was thinking why on earth do they want this off now, before heat 10, before a result, they surely don't want to come back. But okay I get it now, what you're saying is that they did want it to go to heat 10 but not much further. Cool, got it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
