Col 850 Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Felt a bit sorry for Belle Vue tonight but in truth even though every rider for the Stars (MPT aside) had a bad ride they all chipped in. Except for Fricke & Etheridge the riders in Red, White & Black were largely disappointing. With Cook & Bewley fully fit, it may have been a different story. We will never know, 8 points is a big turn around though. Still think the Stars middle order of Jorgensen, Proctor & Riss are capable of losing them a meeting (& Championship).

SUPERACE 440 Posted September 24, 2018 Firstly congratulations to Kings Lynn well deserved win. I hope for your fans you win the title but also I would love too see your manager and owner win nowt don't like either of them. As for the Aces yes we were weakened with injuries and we have had no luck this season but to lose by 8 from 10 up is shocking. Our guest was poor but worrall, Tungate and Berge were very poor we should expect much better. Only max and Jye performed tonight. This team needs a refresh, we have a good formula of building teams to get to the playoffs but seem to fluff our lines each year once we get there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve0 5,517 Posted September 25, 2018 To go 10 points up against a strong KL team was a massive effort. However because of the missing riders, the latter heats were always going to be difficult and that’s how it proved to be. There are still 15 heats of speedway to come and while we all expect KL to prevail, it isn’t over yet. Well done both teams as I enjoyed watching the meeting - just love the racing from the NSS - that’s what speedway is all about not the dust bowl at Blunsdon or the bumpy motocross track at Poole. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strange you think that, I was of the impression that most 'middle order' riders are there because they blow Hot and Cold. Rest assured all of those riders have proved they are capable of winning races for fun. Yes, they can lose as well , struggle with set-up and miss the gate, but when the chips are down they usually come to the party. They may not be the quality of Lambert and Niels, but they are an integral part of the team.... When looking at other teams I believe our middle order are as good or better than the rest... The fact that MPT is still at reserve proves how well the engine room really is.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Granted it looks a formality to Lynn, but you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, and thats how your boys have to look at it. Although Foreverblue wont agree with me.. How can they possibly come back from 8 down at home to winning by more than 8 away, Lemon knows it, all BV fans know it. Has any team overturned such a deficit having lost so heavily at home. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone raves about the Somerset track but its bumpy too, a track doesn't have to be smooth to get good racing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He may have not ridden to his best lately but Jorgensen has had a terrific season and after watching heat 14 can do it when it matters and fights for the team. A real team effort tonight and Iversen finding some form at the right time. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We could suffer a couple of injuries on the night next Monday or a spate of engine problems, you just never know. Unlikely as it is that we will not now go through it’s not done til it’s done and everyone will stay calm and focussed until 91 points have been scored.
