iris123 20,929 Posted January 4, 2019 The tweet was in very poor taste and I think from what I hear the guy is hurting a little.Someone told me he has deleted his twitter account.Not sure that is true,but I bet he has had an ear bashing from his wife and his business might well suffer.His place in the local community,given the photo with him collecting an award from the tourist board,may well have taken a knock.Still a few possibilities to put the screw on a bit more though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I ‘know’ he was a bit of a twinkle when he was on here.The only funny thing about that was he was a bit of a thorn in Phil Risings side.And as I stated before,I had the opportunity of seeing him throw a wobbler at the GP ticket office once.The Funny thing was his short stature meant he could hardly see over the counter!!Bet the woman could only see some hair and a pair of eyes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I had a maths teacher at school who was short and ok we were kids,but we used to laugh that he had to have a cushion on his car seat when he drove his VW camper.But he did seem to be that cliche of a small guy with a chip on his shoulder.The Meridian guy reminds me of that old teacher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STEVEHOLS54 380 Posted January 5, 2019 Anyway back to Poole riders..... Looks like neither Kurtz or Holder jr will win the Aussie Champ and that's only after 2 of the 5 rounds. Holder Jr has been steady and Brady has blown hot & cold (same old inconsistencies) and once again blew it when making a A Final. Finished last of the 4 riders. The one guy who is doing well is the still class act Chris Holder who won todays meeting' with 17 from 6 rides incl winning the A Final. Shares the lead after 2 meetings with Fricke and Tungate. Can't see Holder Jr or Kurtz making up the shortfall in the last 3 meetings. Need to also get their skates on if they want to qualify for the SGP qualifiers. Not sure how many in the final rankings over the 5 meetings qualify through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure how many in the final rankings over the 5 meetings qualify through. Kurtz has the habit of blowing his chances in these big meetings, either through falling or trying to hard. Its something i though he might iron out as he gets older Jack Holder will be the better of the two riders but as of yet isnt the class of his older brother or Fricke Tungate is doing well but always tends to down under and then doesnt seem to carry his form forward. If he could he would be a potent third heat leader Good to see Chris Holder doing well. On paper he is the favourite for the title before a wheel is turned but he is coping fine with that pressure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
