Sounds like he is non to happy with Jonas B Anderson. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert 304 Posted April 7, 2018 Gutted for both Scunny and Belle Vue... Devastated for Stevie... Wishing him all the best for a fast and successful recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
June 203 Posted April 7, 2018 With only our very own Josh Auty in the team from last year. Didn't we do well! Sadly we have already lost Stevie whilst he's out injured. Get well soon Stevie. Josh you were brilliant! Garrity looked so happy and in his interview he sounded so excited to be riding for the Scorps. said he loved the track . What would our score have been had Stevie took all his rides! So a huge well done to the whole team. Sadly Stevie will be missed though. Here's hoping he will have a speedy recovery!

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted April 7, 2018 Firstly, get well soon Stevie. Gutted for you, your family, Belle Vue & GB. Speedy recovery. Well done the Scorpions on their 1st outing. Rode well as individuals & as a team looking for each other. A score line I did not expect with track changes & limited practice for most of our riders during the 1st few months of the year. The crowd seemed very good & the win, performance & score should bring them all back plus get a few newbies & oldies back on board at the EWR. I was well surprised by our gating as Garrity & Auty are not renowned for this & I expressed my surprise at this to Josh in the clubhouse after the meeting. He said it was down to preparation, mentally & physically. Pleased for Stefan, too, as did not expect that performance after his shoulder injury last year, as we know it took a while for Howe & Jorgensen to get over similar injuries. Big shout to Jason, put his bike where it needed to be then his wins were never in doubt. We know Jake can do better & proved it in his last 2 rides. He seemed to be fiddling near his handlebars in his 1st race so not sure if his cut-out had come out. Our reserves gave a lot of effort but for less scores but they, both, will have better meetings. Not too sure the score line would have changed too much with Steve as we won heat 13 & got a 5-1 in 15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harsh according to most people's description of the incident. That is Stevie just shooting from the hip upset his season has been ruined. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eric i 610 Posted April 7, 2018 Anyone know why Jordan Stewart was excluded for moving at the tapes? Seemed really harsh, when other riders were doing the same and getting away with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,407 Posted April 7, 2018 Regarding the tapes incident, JS was moving but did not touch the tapes. Reading in to what else has happened this year, only if you touch the tapes are you excluded. If you are not stationary at the tapes then the ref, as has been posted elsewhere, seems to hold the tapes longer. If they let them go then a few times it has been described as an unsatisfactory start. Even Rob questioned Margaret Vardy, the ref, from the on field mic. My judgement of the Stevie incident from bend 4 plus a friend who was on bend 1 was the racing was tight and, at first, Stevie had a go on the inside of bend 3 early on. He then moved to the outside line, and was taken wide on bends 3 & 4, where Stevie pulled along side down the home straight for JBA to take the wide line in to bend 1 and drifted wider, clipping Stevie & sending him to the fence. JBA then slowed down the back straight, as if knowing he made a mistake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
