65Sarge 148 Posted August 19, 2019 IMO, a fair result from a decent enough meeting. Track was raceable which is a huge improvement, but still very rough in places. Some passing, but a lot of gate and go also. Poole solid throughout especially at reserve but not unexpected. Swindon, top 2 superb, the reserves on a hiding to nothing, but at least on the pace, middle 3 all rather disappointed. it’s all ifs and buts - Klindt got maybe less than expected, Jensen & Muesli got less than usual, it all evens out to say these two should both be there or thereabouts at the end of the season, may the best team win!

Like I said - Klindt moved first and he would have been closest to you so don’t know how you missed it. Anyway - luck usually levels out in the end - unless you were BV tonight.

Track is better, but still not good. Few early ruts and not much dirt. An ok meeting to be fair. Made better by what was at stake.

I don't need to see the consequence of their choice. Gate 2 was the best gate on the night. Ellis won from it, Musielak won from it, Perks scored a point from it. If the Swindon team manager hasn't figured that out he is an idiot. He needed 3 points to get a losers bonus point, so take the best gate and put your best rider on it. Swindon got a 5-1. That gets them nothing more than a 3-3 would. They had the best two riders at the meeting. The only way they could have scored less than 3 barring a mechanical disaster was to hand Poole the best gate. Poole needed to put their only rider capable of out pacing Batchelor & Doyle on it, in Kurtz & hope Holder can sneak past either Robin as they queued behind Kurtz. Utter ineptitude all around.

Still prefer to have at least 1 decent reserve as that is usually what the league winners have. Over a two legged affair i would be reasonably confident though Crazy.
