Certainly, the best Bears team for some years. UTB !! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diamond@heart 399 Posted August 9, 2019 Another piss poor performance away from home by the Diamonds. 5+1 from Worrall, not the sort of score a number one should be posting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedway4ever 117 Posted August 9, 2019 Great racing tonight again from the Bears for another win. Shout out to Ben Rathbone flying during the second half. Well done to the Gems on another win. They should get signed up for the first team. ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boz 315 Posted August 9, 2019 Pretty routine win in the end - we got a bit lucky with the weather. Certainly interesting watching speedway with lightning going off pretty close by! Thankfully rain stayed away until last couple of races. Bears heatleaders and Stewart all looked excellent - all seem to be firing at the right time. Though Andersen rode better than his points suggested. Scary to think how good we could be if we had 7 riders! Jorgensen was good for the Diamonds, and though Worrall rode hard but was just not quick enough for the Bears top 3. Useful points again from Clegg. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boothers 223 Posted August 9, 2019 Good grief Erik Riss is a cracking signing! Bears coasted this to be honest. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think a lack of confidence is the main reason for poor gating at times with a lot of riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortythirtyeight 838 Posted August 10, 2019 As a neutral , I risked the trip and the forecast (yet again ) but was rewarded by sharp presentation and a decent meeting. 21 races completed in 1 and a half hours with lightening and rain all around. Congratulations to all concerned in getting the meeting completed. Not the best racing I've seen at Redcar but the Diamonds didnt put up much of a fight and when they did gate the Bears top end were simply too good for them. Jorgensen and Østergaard had there moments but Worrell was a pale shadow of his former self and race wins weren't coming easily. Wright, Riss, Palm-Toft and Stewart were class acts and Andersen , despite his lack of points, was in the thick of it.The Bears are a good side but Wooley looks out of his depth which could prove costly come the play off's. The junior match was rattled through, understandably, but credit where it's due for the club running it at all when other clubs would simply have cancelled it. Rathbone looks a prospect and the Kids races were excellent. Looked a good crowd and a great atmosphere around the place but parking was an issue as the main car park was full by 6:45 . Not many Diamonds fans in attendance which was surprising but perhaps the weather forecast put them off as not as many of the Workington fans there as I've seen before. As Arnie says..." I'll be back ". 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
