Andrew 125 Posted December 23, 2014 Yes it was Neath.I seem to remember he gave up on the 3rd/4th turn on the last lap and waved at the ref in disgust at the slow moving Compton obstacle! Also Steady did stay with Josh in one of his races this season,think it was against Glasgow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,890 Posted December 24, 2014 It can be done though, and by "kids" too! There's a brilliant video of Tommy Allen and Tai Woffinden on YouTube somewhere too. Jason Doyle became the master of team riding at Somerset and more lately we've had Brady Kurtz who is brilliant at it too. Ben Barker is probably one of the best in recent years in the PL too.

EnglishRoundabout 1,752 Posted December 24, 2014 Todd Kurtz was pretty good too. Always looking for his team mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted December 24, 2014 There's a brilliant video of Tommy Allen and Tai Woffinden on YouTube somewhere too. TBF, If I had outgated Tom P Madsen I could roll around the kerb at 2mph and he's not going to pass me or my team mate too On the Woffy note though, some of young Pawlickis team riding with Tai last season was pretty good.

Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted December 24, 2014 There's a brilliant video of Tommy Allen and Tai Woffinden on YouTube somewhere too. Jason Doyle became the master of team riding at Somerset and more lately we've had Brady Kurtz who is brilliant at it too. Ben Barker is probably one of the best in recent years in the PL too. Seen Barker do some stunning team rides at SBA, to the extent of pointing to where he wanted his partner to ride. Sadly, he seemed to forget all about that last season. The best I ever saw was at Scunthorpe a few years ago, and it was Richie Dennis (aged 17) protecting Grant Hayes (aged 16). The speed that Dennis went into the corners had to be seen to be believed, to the extent that it drew an angry reaction from an opposition rider at the end of the race.

CardinalSin 346 Posted December 24, 2014 The Americans were the best at team riding back in the 80's IMO. I can remember Sigalos virtually stopping on a corner waiting for his team mate at Foxhall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,890 Posted December 24, 2014 Todd Kurtz was pretty good too. Always looking for his team mate. A few of us actually commented at times that he spent more time looking behind him, than looking forward! Seen Barker do some stunning team rides at SBA, to the extent of pointing to where he wanted his partner to ride. Sadly, he seemed to forget all about that last season. . There's a picture of Doyley doing that somewhere before. I remember him once being interviewed after team riding Stephan Katt round for a 5-1 saying just how difficult it was to go that slow!

Charlieboy 412 Posted December 24, 2014 The Morans were the best weve had at Sheffield for team riding,pure quality.I would like to see our new team trying a bit of team riding next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon Hammer 576 Posted December 24, 2014 Best team riding I saw last year: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc0pT5cd9y8 Fast forward 2:36.00 Mega T2 by Darcy - spent half race looking back & quarter race with one hand on his bike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted December 27, 2014 Best team riding I saw last year: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc0pT5cd9y8 Fast forward 2:36.00 Mega T2 by Darcy - spent half race looking back & quarter race with one hand on his bike That wasn't even Darcys best team riding last year. Riding inside/outside is the most basic of team riding. Dropping the bike on an opponent to get a team mate around or moving a rider wide to get a team mate up the inside is far better and more impressive- and as much as I dislike the obnoxious little oik he's good at doing just that and hen covering a team mate.

Mr Blobby 2,661 Posted December 28, 2014 Arthur Sissis has sailed through qualifiers to compete in this evening's (In Adelaide) South Australian Championship. Main meeting about to get going now. I would like to think so if he didn't qualify against the caliber of riders he was up against there would of been something not right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't say I am a knocker of his but his lack of experience on a 500cc is a concern. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
