I personally don’t think it was all about excess shale on the edge. Emil’s footrest snapped causing him problems on the end of straight and he could not rectify at that speed going into the bend 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 So to avoid being excluded what you need to do is just run straight in to the rider messing up in front rather than taking avoiding action...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chun Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 (edited) witches always likely to be up against even before Rew’s fall and mistakes gifted points to the lions. masters moving at the start in heat 7 should have been pulled back and with him on a warning he maybe wouldn’t have made quick starts in subsequent heats. think that fricke had to be excluded in heat 1 as he was the prime cause of the stoppage with ellis taking avoiding action. nicholls and king are past their prime and both were guilty of riding too wide forfeiting further points. no prizes were up for grabs last night but sides rarely recover from their top riders coming back from injury ready to perform at their best so unfortunately it looks as though the witches are destined for disappointment. on another note i can’t understand why leicester are able to bring in kemp for cook. on what grounds is cook unable to ride? a week or two off seems reasonable given his partner is due to give birth but this has been going on forever now. before we know it leicester will be picking horses for courses at reserve in the grand final. they should be forced to track an ndl rider in my opinion.

GeneralMelchett Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 (edited) Disaster for the Witches but a very good night for the Lions. I think we can safely say that the Witches chances are now probably over. I hope Adam is back for Monday but at the moment their three best riders at Foxhall are injured.

Being honest it cost them as Kemp was pretty ineffective if they reach the playoff final then there reserves may well cost them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 All credit to the management at foxhall, who unlike others would have pulled strokes to call this off in self interest. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - glad his shoulder and or wrist seem good then! He was down for a while and you feared the worst when he withdrew. Hopefully he will be back and fully able to race in 09 days then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if you want to look at facts or just slag off riders you dislike and blame the track/club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
