Neither were going to challenge Hodder and Celine had a good second ride to beat Borke. Would like to think there is life in Cookie yet, just seemed to lack that extra bit of speed today . I'm also hoping Batch can up his average. I believe Claus is a year older than both riders and Bomber 5 years older. It's whether they still love to win.

Not certain but your assumption looks credible. Never like to see this personally because the crowd want to see their riders race to the end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Workington will improve as the season progresses but Berwick are a level above them as it stands. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Cookie form is temporary but class is permanent he will hold his own , maybe not as the force he once was but still a capable heat leader. Anytime I have seen Batchelor he is average at best and his antics at last season’s pairs were poor at best.

szkocjasid Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 I don't think Workington have any worries over their top 5, sure Batchelor & Cook will have their off days, but so did the leagues top averaged rider Sam Masters at Poole. It's at reserve where I see the Comets struggling. Hopefully they'll be able to win the majority of their home matches, but don't see many bonus points coming their way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to Worky today . Some fine racing. i thought Batch looked as if he chucked it. In 2 previous races I thought he could have done a bit of team riding with Celena and Sam. Berwick look a solid team and in my opinion could be in the mix for a play off spot. If all their riders get dialled in at home they will nigh on unbeatable there. A well balanced team. Worky have got 2 great prospects in Tate and Anti. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neila Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 Some positives from today, Tate and antti both look like they are going to be good riders at this level, antti especially, cook and batch were cook and batch !! Claus was good both at Berwick and at home today, just leaves the 2 reserves, early days but looks weak, at least celina was on the pace today and had a couple of good races, hopefully they will improve in the next few weeks, A big positive was the racing at the GT tyres Northside arena was very good and the improvements are fantastic, well done to Andrew Bain and all his merry band of helpers.
