If only we could make a gate, the odds would be 99% on winning the heat. There only seems to be one racing line on bends 3 and 4. Hopefully that will change soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickinho Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 I spoke too soon! There's been some amazing overtaking on bends 3 and 4 in the past two heats. Cookie riding that kerb was sublime. Felt sorry for Paco after his overtake though when the race was stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickinho Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 Those passes by Paco in 14 were breathtaking. I've got to admit the Monarchs simply wanted this more tonight. The Tigers were stale and didn't approach this track very well at all. I don't recall seeing a single Tiger make a pass tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Paco turn up before Ht 14 is the question for me,and who will win the battle of the reserves.? think you's will edge it in the reserve department i have no faith in smith and piper will try hard but i dont think its his type of tracke is getting there but should not be put under the pressure he is with smith who is ment to be the experienced reserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how you can watch that and refer to anything as breathtaking. Maybe I am just conditioned to Glasgow now but the ‘racing’ was non existent. That track reduces most riders to look like wobblers just struggling round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 Edinburgh's mechanical issues saved us from a doing. 50 -39 has the face of respectability but its far from that. Broon summed it up in his comments after ht14 but FFS how did this team come to be put together by choice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Paco turn up from the start and Hey Presto it makes the difference.By all accounts Glasgow were poor. Flint like Worrell can only win if he gates and gets down the back straight in front.Maintaining his average but not winning important heats when the pressure is on. It’s Definately the least exciting Tigers Team for while. Well done to Monarchs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vissing is very much missed right now although he wouldn't have affected the result tonight. It's the manager. He couldn't fail last year after Tarasenko came in (although he came very close to fumbling the ball against Oxford).

Genuine question. Does he have a financial stake for example? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
