tellboy 3,658 Posted July 1, 2019 1 hour ago, racers and royals said: Seems a strange decision putting Cook in heat 15- 3 points from 4 rides -whereas Jorgensen has had 3 wins in a 9 point total I would have gone Cook myself.Had some bad luck tonight when team riding Kerr and then when winning ht13.Wouldn't have felt as confident of getting the result we needed if Jorgensen was in it.Riss was asked but declined,probably battered and bruised after Doyle collected him.And also on the Swindon front i think they picked the right riders for ht15.That R.Jensen was good value for his points. Think the strange decision was not putting Kerr in ht8 instead of Lambert. That Riss pass on Jensen was sqeaky bum time. Hope S.Nielsen is just battered and bruised and will be back soon.That guy deserves a bit of luck doesn't he. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted July 1, 2019 Much needed points. Decent from Riss, TJ and MPT. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KLFAN 11 Posted July 1, 2019 Just wondering if we might go for Ricky Wells as a replacement for Simon Lambert? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gresham78 215 Posted July 1, 2019 Given that the Robins were 15 pts adrift after 8 heats and had lost a rider this ended a lot closer than it could have done and had Razza not made a mistake whilst out in front in heat 12 we might even have nicked a point. Well done to Razza, Frenchie and Batch plus a special mention for Ellis Perks who rode his nuts off to no avail. Not sure what's wrong with Doyley - another indifferent performance - looks right off his game at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stefan is sore and has a burn on his leg so I understand, but nothing is broken. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrss 691 Posted July 2, 2019 Good result for the Stars. Another poor spectacle with not much good racing. Only incidents to remember are Stefans awful smash ,Doyle wiping Riss out, and Riss barging past Jensen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,763 Posted July 2, 2019 It wasn’t a great spectacle but heats 13 and 14 were pretty good too. Far too much FTG though as per. Nice to catch up with several people I hadn’t seen for a while! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With Riss and Jorgensen team riding Doyle out and the re-run with Riss passing Batchelor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thecoombdog 2,367 Posted July 2, 2019 Nothing is going our way this season but we have also been a little bit sh1te as well. Can't see us making the play offs which is ridicoulous with our top 5. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,763 Posted July 2, 2019 You’d have to say that Ipswich and Poole look home and hosed so it could be an absolute dogfight between the other five for two play off spots. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
