Batchelor riding an absolute bag of spanners. Wasn't it an E/F. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A few rusty performances and it was easy to spot the lads who have had some racing this year. Regardless of Ellis previous performances at Belle vue I would expect him to have got more than r/r with having ridden in Poland. If Bachelor gets his finger out I think we can have a good season. I find it a bit worrying when jack holder says him and Ellis may miss the occasional meeting. I suppose we are in the hands of the covid pandemic so hardly surprising If Holder/Ellis were available for this meeting during the pandemic,you would like to think they should be available for all the other meetings especially as the rules are easing a bit.If it's a clash with other meetings that would be Sheffield's problem.

"the yacht was drifting broadside to the wind" They also showed the score at one point as something like 62-32, this was about half way through the meeting directly after a heat, or were they giving heat times? I only noticed it once. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looked from the brief clip on the telly that he made the wrong choice to hug the kerb presumably expecting King to divebomb him and realised as King went round the boards, hence hitting himself round the head Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArthurRudge 347 Posted May 18, 2021 Good meeting, enjoyed the Eurosport presentation the female host Abi made me laugh sounds like she has a peg over her nose lol. Batchelor was awful and that was no engine failure he just didn't fancy it hope he comes good though Sheffield deffo look good though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

one of clubs 116 Posted May 18, 2021 Good meeting last night. MOTM was Tom Brennan, who's super defeat of Batch was vital in securing the win. Seems he was on a guarantee, much like he was at Poole a few seasons ago when guesting for BV. All in all a good nights entertainment for the cameras.

Phil The Ace 2,853 Posted May 18, 2021 Great to have speedway back, enjoyed that, was an ok meeting and i wont take anything from anyones form form after 18 months away, need to give them a few meetings at least. Expect Batch to score poorly for a few weeks till his average is low enough for championship, by that time he will be replaced by holder at 1 and bang in some points for sheffield.
