IainB Posted December 14 Report Share Posted December 14 (edited) Watched the speedway from Aus this morning, Sam Hagon was terrible from the starts, I can only hope he was still jet lagged as he seemed to be gating in a different time zone! His starts will need to be on point if he wants to score any points around Leicester next year. Edited December 14 by IainB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One factor (as well as adjusting to time/weather, etc.) is that he's probably on borrowed machinery, and struggling to get it set up.

Duane Posted December 14 Report Share Posted December 14 Sam did have a pretty big crash 2 weeks ago @ the South Australian title, maybe feeling the effects still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't really seem a setup thing, he was just slow dropping the clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have thought with the different time zone in Aussie he would actually be dropping the clutch earlier wouldn't you? 🤪 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BenMoran Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago See that Dougy has been injured in Aussie whilst training on moto-x bike. He’s going to miss the Aussie Championships starting beginning of January and says he needs at least a month out to recover, hopefully he’s back to 100% fitness for the start of the season as wouldn’t want to be starting season with R/R, Guests or sourcing a replacement with slim pickings left out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to remember at least one Holder getting injured training on a moto cross bike pre season, and although after he retired Lee Adams fateful ride the desert. I think in general top speedway riders put their fearlessness before moto cross ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
