Cross Roads Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 Just watched back the coverage from last night as was there. Being a lions fan chuffed to bits we progress to the final. Agree there was some poor ref decisions and I congratulate the witches on a tough season considering the injury’s. Must say the Eurosport team need to rem x2 teams in the meeting maybe just me but little engagement with the lions all lpswich interviews and comments for majority of the time…. one final point please please please Leicester management get some lights on the starting gate above the advertising banner directly onto the gates unless on start line cannot see the riders. 8 lights 2 each gate… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, please ask them to sort out the drainage - it's a purpose built track, so should be able to cope with downpours, rather than lose the inside line.

Because that's speedway. Hawkins acknowledged that they threw points away. Turnbull's awful refereeing made a huge difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Jacobs Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 7 hours ago, Hamish McRaker said: Fricke lost control because he received a big lateral shove from the rider in gate one as they were about to enter bend one. This probably occurred because all four riders by this stage were aiming for more or less the same piece of track. Therefore what happened subsequently could not have been prevented by him and the decision to re-start the heat with all riders was correct. Incorrect. It's clear form the Discovery+ coverage that Kvech didn't move, and Fricke was lifting before they go to the first turn. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Jacobs Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 21 hours ago, 40-38 said: I'm amazed how many people have been insinuating it's somehow Leicester's fault the ref is crap. We gave Ipswich more than enough chances over 2 legs to put us away, we're probably the most generous side in the play offs! I think it's clear that Ipswich generously gave away points to Leicester, affording the Lions several chances to win at a canter ... yet the Witches still managed to crawl to a last heat decider despite the referee.

Shame on a promoter using such wording and showing a complete lack of professionalism. The ref most definitely did steel the show,with her complete lack of professionalism. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted Friday at 11:34 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 11:34 PM 7 hours ago, SUPERACE said: Reading the wording on Rising Stars you could be right as its around the 2024 season and doesn't cover past seasons. Common sense would mean a rider who has progressed out of the RS isn't allowed to drop back in it. My personal opinion is all riders 21 and under should be able to be a rising star no matter their average, and up to and including 23 on an average below 4 (moving our of the scheme for good once this average is achieved). Happy enough with your U21 suggestion, question - if Lambert & Bewley were "rising stars" at 20 years old, would you have them riding at reserve or on the heat leader positions their averages dictated? Re, riders not being allowed to return to the RS scheme once they've "graduated" if a rider gets 3 3.90 ave one season, 3.80 the next, 3.70 after that, do they really deserve to be a "rising star" over someone who averaged 3.98 then 4.02, then 3.98 again?

Falls show the story somewhat as well Ipswich 11 and Leicester 1, and importantly Ipswich twice when on 5-1’s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear form the Discovery+ coverage that Kvech didn't move, and Fricke was lifting before they go to the first turn. No problem with Kvech there, that's racing. When 4 riders are going for a narrow funnel, any contact is going to at least double the risk of consequences beyond the control of the riders. Sensible decision in that case to do it again with all 4, just as it should have been with heat 3 where Rew was unjustly excluded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
