Bagpuss 10,750 Posted March 20, 2018 You can be prepared as you like and just have absolutely no luck on any given night, it happens although fortunately not very often. Panning the poor chap is pretty harsh but not unexpected on this platform.....Belle Vue fans know what Tungate can do and won't be too concerned. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,076 Posted March 20, 2018 Sounds like a typical first meeting some riders better than expected others no so good, mechanical gremlins that need ironing out overall a good night's entertainment. It isn't what happens on the first meeting that define your season. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,853 Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Its as we expected. Would have been a very comfortable night if it wasn't for th gates ignition problems. Bewley bike sounded like a bag of spanners and struggled but still managed 2 wins and fastest time of season. He has the style to pay the bills for sure. Just watching him gives you enjoyment whether 1st or last. Drozdz did his job. 5 points not a bad return from no3. He was getting better and faster each race. Cook looked slow but again he will iron out them problems soon enough. Jye did his job. Fricke sublime and fast. And that was the best I've seen Worrall. Fast us to g and fast upfront. He's with team revolution this year but is on his own engines and not jawas which should help him to push on and have a great season. Track held up well with all the snow. Swindon rode well also. So well done them getting within 6 points Edited March 20, 2018 by Phil The Ace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) I'd swap Drozdz with Worrall.Drozdz did score 5 ,but in 2 races Tungate had e/f's. He did beat Wajtknecht twice and finished in front of Bewley once. I know he's new ,but I think it would take a bit of pressure off of him. Edited March 20, 2018 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,631 Posted March 20, 2018 Tungate's early season performance is a mirror image of last season isn't it?! He'll undoubtedly come good - but will it be at BV? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mattfordfan 286 Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Everyone needs to stop overreacting to Tungate's performance imo. Obviously something big went wrong in his first heat. Couldn't fix the problem by his next Heat and got excluded under 2 mins. Then he was virtually playing catch up whilst having problems with his bike/bikes all night long. Just a bad night at the office and tbh its a nothing meeting anyway. All about getting rid of the rust and getting some laps in before the real stuff starts.

It was the very first meeting of the season , and bad luck like Tungate suffered last night CAN happen to the best of riders, no matter how well prepared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
