I wouldn't go as far as that, certainly he's not improved much since a promising early career. Besides who would you replace him with? Joe T, Nathan Ablitt, Ace Pijper? Flint is a better option than any of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World under 21 finalist (something Brennan never managed to qualify for) and riding decently in Polish under 24 this season. No drop off in Prem or Champ averages. I'd say that's a fairly respectable season with some encouraging signs of development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't see fully from where I was stood to be honest, but seemed similar to the first start, I don't think there is a rule on the number of all four backs you can have. Trying to keep all 4 in a race especially on the first bend should always be the target. There was definitely not enough in it to exclude anyone.

Col Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 I had a reasonable view of the first bend on the temporary stand at the end of the start/finish straight. I didn't think there was any contact from Lindgren, unlike the first time, but there certainly wasn't much room for Kurtz and as the shale had been thoroughly drenched I couldn't see how he had a chance of staying up.

I thought the first time Lindgren caught him which was a domjno effect but second one nobody touched him. I agree always better to have 4 in a race.

I disagree with him being sacked he needs an experienced person with him to guide him to make the right decisions on the bike/ track and his set up. I’m unsure if he has that - it would be great if someone like Peter Adams could get in and guide him like he did with woffy years ago. There is a rider their but once his had a bad heat he almost needs it beaten out of him to move past it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 Lindgren has been a complete and utter disaster. Birmingham should have paid Artem Laguta the money. Artem is a World Champion. Freddie is a Bridesmaid. @stevebrum - Why is Freddie so poor? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brennan is moving in the right direction compared with Leon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I have seen them win away more recently but I could have in 2021. I did see Belle Vue win at EoESg in July 2021 but it's been three years, 10+ meetings at 4 different tracks. 8 hours ago, foreverblue said: Lindgren was poor early on and seemed to pick the wrong lines. All the Brummies riders were riding what turned out to be the slowest line in the first few heats. It was as if the track was prepared completely the opposite to how they expected it to be.

Yes I think Belle Vue got away with one, should have been a Birmingham victory but lost it in the early races and gave themselves too much to do added to Sam and his inept tactics.
