Glasgow v Berwick BSN Cup 19/4/24@7-30


Recommended Posts

Think Starke was just riding too defensively, maybe not confident his bike had the speed, leaving himself a bit open when the rider behind noticed. Think he rode very well, bit closer to his 2019 form than what we've seen the last few years from him.

On the gearing front, it’s correct that gearing affects the speed vs acceleration, but it’s still all relative to the performance of the engine itself.

Starke did much better last night (and nothing broke!), but he’ll be found wanting against some other opposition unless he finds more speed. But it was an improvement, which is a good start.

Claus really showed us what we’re missing - unfortunately, his average will be too high next time Leon is unavailable.

Borke has a lot of potential, but I will say, he has a lot of average races, and whilst he looks great at Ashfield (and did well on his visit to Berwick last year), he needs to show improvement at other tracks. It’ll be interesting to see his progression this year, but if he does, he’ll be a great asset for the Bandits. I do think his performances haven’t quite justified the hype just yet though.

Next time looks like being June 14 in Sweden and we don't have a fixture then.

Vissing out to prove a point against his former club scores 13 just missing out on a maximum 

One day later Vissing riding for his 2024 team on his home track which suits his style of racing scores 4 from 4.

As previously commented Vissing does produce some great performances but let's not forget the levels of inconsistency seen last season before Injury. 

Great guest for us but let's at least give every rider in the current Glasgow team a chance to show what they can do.

He signed on an average of 5, and matched or beat that average in 80% of meetings.

I don't know how many riders beat their average that regularly, but I'm going to guess it wasn't loads.

I don't know how many riders beat their average quid the second regularly, but I'm going to guess it wasn't loads.

Is that 80% of home meetings or 80% of both home and away combined ?

Don’t see how Tigers fans can complain about Starke last night,his two 5/1s with Claus probably won them the match.

They`re always moaning about something.:D

77% of home meetings, 83% of away meetings, 80% of all meetings.

Think it was better than that in all competitions - 12 home, 12 away. 

In 83.33% of home meetings and 83.33% of away meetings Claus scored more than the 5 point average he was signed on.

2 bad meetings at home and 2 away

Officially, yes, but included the abandoned home meeting against Berwick, where he scored 6 from 2 rides.
