Terrace Grumbler 337 Posted July 21, 2019 Decent meeting but the whole thing was hostage to the weather: when the track is a dustbowl there's no passing on the bends and to an extent it was a gating contest. I'd take Barker over Jorgensen any day of the week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because Bickley moved first and did not get warning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However having taken points at every away match so far must'nt grumble. Thanks to Masters for doing a good job replacing Cook. Toughest test so far coming this weekend with Leicester home and away followed by Scunny away. Before that its Eastbourne at home on Tuesday in the KOC with a big lead required. We are already KO'd from the KOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scored in reserves race, a gift for his other race, don't get carried away but glad for the lad that he will actually get paid enough to cover his travel costs for a change. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yip that’s what happened ,the Danes were not happy because it cost them 2nd place in the end.Its wrong IMO the rider that touches the tapes usually goes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it was a gift but he stayed on his bike the 2 opponents fell/crashed and were disqualified. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What you expecting????? When you put a, '' in your post, isn't it meant to suggest it's in jest ???,,, a bit like using an indicator whilst driving a vehicle to let folk know your intended direction of travel. A might not always put ''s in my posts, but I don't always use my indicators either,,, sometimes I think it funny to let other people guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
