Agree………and another of his problems seems to be the line and speed he’s using at bends 1 and 2….resulting on him tightening up and not getting his wheels in line quickly enough on exiting bend 2 and therefore scrubbing off speed. Also……re. his bike’s speed ……it would be interesting to see Harris have a go on it……

Got to agree…..after seeing Borke at Ashfield last season riding the boards I had him pencilled in as a Tiger for this year’s team. I’ve yet to see Starke riding a wide line so he tends to become vulnerable when the dirt moves out.

It did seem harsh…..but I’ve got to say that he didn’t exactly make an effort to get to the tapes quickly.

I’m sure they all communicate…..but one rider’s set up won’t necessarily suit others though…….it’s an individual thing to suit style, technique and engine etc.

Yeah, he’s deemed a hot prospect………..but then again, so was Bickley. I suppose we’ll just have to wait and see but early showings are not brilliant.

Hope so…..has the ability to be a consistent class act on a bike and is a joy to watch when on song.

Yup, he was some man……..but your point is ???

Chris has said on his page that it wasn’t a set up…….

Good post Weeyin…….totally agree about the football type attitude of some newby fans……not good for our family sport.

No real worries about him if and when he gates…….but he ain’t no Basso, Harris or even Vissing when he doesn’t. Have seen him go missing in the big heats on a few occasions too. Like you though, not writing him off at this early stage.

Me too……I guess if it was licence, engine/equipment, fuel etc.it would have been announced.

Was it not a case of misunderstanding that he wasn’t resigned? Thought he had initially intimated he wasn’t doing the Championship this year and by the time he decided, Glasgow had made moves. Think he could come back and bite us on the bum when Poole visit.

Wish we could……….lol A few Pirates’ fans maybe changing their minds about not initially wanting Tom in the side?

Despite the points scored, there’s absolutely no excuse for giving up at the back when not in a scoring position. We don’t pay good money to see this kind of thing in speedway and he, more than most, has a history of this sort of couldn’t care less attitude.

Can’t see them being susceptible to home defeats this season…..

Was Batchelor’s retirement in his last race his usual “can’t be arsed” if he’s not placed or was there a bonafide reason?

Can I ask what your solution would be if you were in charge?…..not being funny……interested.

Do you know this…..or are you just making it up?….lol. Claus always gives his best in my opinion and any contract details are between him and the management. I’m sure they know what they’re doing.

Mainly, in my opinion, because people didn’t have the vast amount of recreational choices that are available today

That’s a blow…….good luck to him for a full recovery.

Everything you write is too hard for me to grasp……

You stated on another post….. “the team is sorted” which inferred you knew for sure.

But it did prove that 1 fan still does……..lol

Wow!…so they have. Was it you?….lol

Well……hopefully not cocaine……lol
