Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted July 19, 2018 Terrible tactical error by Somerset in heat 11. 3-3 would have kept the gap at 4 points but Doyle winning it allows Morris in on a t/r in heat 12, chopping out a zero scoring reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted July 19, 2018 Luckily they got away with it but would have been 6 up instead of four. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyabb17 1,077 Posted July 19, 2018 As much I hoped we would nick it (expected better from Perks) a 4 man team is never going to beat 7, dust this one off & go again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy robin 2,963 Posted July 19, 2018 Congratulations to Somerset as you can only beat what's in front of you. Well done to the Robins 4 as they nearly pulled it off. Injuries have played a bad hand to so many teams the last few years & with so few riders wanting to ride in Britain it will only get worse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

White flag raised over Blunsdon stadium before the final heat. Doubt Bellego riding would have made much of a difference. Swindon just don’t have it this year.

kopite92 25 Posted July 19, 2018 Well done boys! I know we were against a weakened Robins side but they rode well and got the job done. A special shout out to Tero Aarnio who did a bloody good job for us, especially in heat 12 up against Morris and Ellis. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theblueboy 960 Posted July 19, 2018 A poor meeting in front of a good crowd. Congratulations to the Rebels they did what they had to. Aarnio particularly good value for his score. Robins top 4 battled hard but with no back up at reserve there was little chance of winning. Not sure why Nick didn’t come out in 15. No disrespect to Adam but Somerset are rivals for the play off. There have been meetings where it’s been done and dusted and we have won easily and yet he comes out but tonight with potentially something on it, he wasn’t called upon? Also, what is in the middle of bend 3 and 4? There have been issues in the previous meetings where Adam came off on a couple of occasions. Tonight, Alpen nearly binned it and Nick did. It needs to be sorted, whatever the problem is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
