MD Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 Another one bites the dust! Our ht13 &15 conversion rate is rather poor this year. I think someone will be doing the numbers at Ashfield this weekend, we are distinctly average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midget Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 Ā Craig cook is still a class act at this level, his gating was on another level,Ā easily the best rider on show today. Looks on the heavy side, if he can sort that he could be back to his best?Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used all his experience to get his winsĀ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heās still in the gym boxing and looks trim without a race suit on Not surprised he scored 16 at Sheffield with the level of his gating this season, has been electricĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topaz325 Posted May 11 Author Report Share Posted May 11 Good meeting and a decent crowd including many Tigers fans . Batch looking very classy today , and some tough races when Bomber was involved with some very close finishes on the line. Cookie missed out on another big score with belt failure when well ahead also Comets on a 5-1 when the race was stopped due to a collision the the restart resulted in a 3-3 but thatās Speedway.Ā 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 Result-aside, that was a great meeting. Massive credit to Steve Lawson and Workington for creating a great track. Iām always reluctant to share these opinions because they risk their safety for our entertainment, so Iāll say this; if Glasgow Tigersā management hold any ambitions of defending their title, Starke and Flint wonāt be employees of the club for much longer. I might be looking into it too much, but Starke leaving the pits to grab a can from the burger van during the meeting, Harrisā rather petulant display of handing his bike over to his mechanic after heat eleven and the fact that Cami Brown and Alan Dick jumped in their car and exited the stadium before most fans suggests, if I was a conspiracy theorist, that all is not well with the reigning champions. Credit to Pearson and Pijper, though. I thought they gave a decent account of themselves, all things considered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did nothing. Coward. On a serious note, I donāt know. Is it normal behaviour for a rider who hasnāt finished ahead of an adult maleĀ in any of his four races to venture in amongst the punters? Might be. Might not. Who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelinho Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 Fantastic meeting, Comets worthy of the win. Craig looked brilliant, as did Tate and Batch. Bomber was fast, but didn't gate well, and the home riders weren't getting caught. He seemed quite frustrated after his third ride. We've seen some fantastic racing over the last couple of days. We're not retaining the league title, but we're having fun losing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
