Flappy 1,593 Posted April 15, 2019 Good win that. Good racing, another track record and a return to form for Andersen who top scored. All being 3 points under the limit. As per one of the comments above, we're not far off being a very good side Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ArthurRudge 347 Posted April 16, 2019 Oh no that is two meetings lost now changes must be imminent lmfao! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,631 Posted April 16, 2019 Seems very similar to how Poole started last year and we all know how that finished. Good to see Jack back to some form and Brady taking the new track record. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,049 Posted April 16, 2019 Good win for Peterborough Must be some concern over Worrall and Covatti Would have thought Pooles reserves would have done much better Brady breaks the track record and then disappears when the going gets tough later on in the meeting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One thing to consider is Covatti had just won the Italian championship on Sunday and had just got back. Agree riders do this all the time. However, I must bring these facts to light in view of what you say of these Poole riders. Remember Poole have raced 3 meetings one at home and two away. Over these 3 meetings Worrall is a little down on his average at 4.72 against a start of 5.46, Covatti even with such a low score yesterday is at 4.72 against a start of 4.70, Kurtz is at 8.00 against a start of 7.05. I am not saying there is no room for improvement but why show concern at this stage. A few more meetings balanced home and away before any true judgement can be made. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After the start and first turn it's basically follow the leader because you will not go round anyone and unless they move off the line then where you were are is where you stay. That's what happened to Kurtz. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what happened to Kurtz. Your point is? All im saying is that Brady has a history of doing well at the start of a meeting and then not so as the meeting progresses. He may have got roughed up as you say but the top top riders carry on scoring through the meeting and keep scoring 6 points form his first two and then only 2 from his next two. Whatever happened its a similar trend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree Just that for me those 2 riders are Pooles weak links at the moment Coupled with the fact that Brady and Jack are not getting 20 points a meeting between them will not help Poole as the season progresses But saying that very impressed with the start that Klindt has made Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted April 16, 2019 Bloody roadworks and closed motorways meant I didn’t get back till the early hours. A decent crowd, though little atmosphere. Seems Peterborough fans on the whole just sit there and clap politely after every heat, regardless of the score. Need someone there to whip up the crowd. Racing wise, the track was grippy and fast. Brady broke the track record in heat 4. Passing was at a premium and although the riders were close together, it came down to a gating competition. 1 and 3 a big advantage all night with only Klindt managing a win off gate 4. Heat 14 was always going to be an issue. Gate 1 was good but we had Worrall on it and as predicted he didn’t get off the start, which in the end cost us. Well done to Panthers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
