Bagpuss 10,780 Posted April 19, 2018 The season is a long one and I'm sure he'll come good. Showed his class in winning heat 15 tonight. I thought it looked like machine rather than man which held him back a bit last night but he'll get there, he's too good a rider not to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g13webb 4,254 Posted April 20, 2018 I cant believe these comments on here questioning the performance of NKI. He was sidelined last year with a bad injury. he's been out of action for nearly 9months and you expect him to jump back on a bike and immediately recapture his old self. What are you people like. Give him a month or so and then judge him. I witnessed enough from him on Wednesday to see he is someway off the form we know he can produce, but he still did more than enough to silence his doubters.... Last night, in Ht15, with our backs against the wall. he was one of those nominated to rescue something from the meeting and dutifully came up with the goods. No, I have no worries about NKI returning to his former self..... I thought we performed really well to come away from Swindon with a point. Hadn't it been for Roberts engine troubles, and Rose's accident, the result could have been even closer...... After waiting what seemed like an eternity, we have had a good couple of days to kickstart our season. Cant wait for the next instalment... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you include down the back straight and bends 3/4 of lap 1 you were probably up to double figures in passes. Iversen made 3 passes on bend 4 lap 1 on his own. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) I hope people are not throwing NKI into the same bracket as what we had to endure last season with Folder. Different attitudes, different people. NKI will bounce back from a disappointing start. Once he does in tandem with Lambert they will take some holding in heats 13 and 15 Edited April 20, 2018 by semion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He said he felt ok but wasn't fully fit yet. NKI was poor at the Belle Vue 90th Anniversary meeting but bike gremlins were part of that & he won his last ride (beating Doyle if I remember correctly), much improved the following day at Sheffield for the Simon Stead farewell meeting.

auntie doris 2,342 Posted April 20, 2018 Best moment Zach beating NKI, apart from that not much to get excited about. Decent weather, decent crowd, mediocre racing, and Robins top of league again !!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
