There are a number of world champions, including the current one, who couldn’t pass Bewley. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 850 Posted June 1, 2021 Can't comment on the evenings meeting - wasn't there Panthers deserved a point in Manchester as the Ace's were just too inconsistent but Peterborough had every ounce of luck available. Kurtz & R Worrall had forced their way past Pedersen down the back straight in heat 1 but both lifted violently on turn 3 which sent them both very wide allowing Pedersen through. Worrall also had an engine failure in heat 8 - which was probably the best race of the day, Worrall v Ostergaard at the front Etheridge v Andersen at the back. As for Kurtz, I'm not a fan but he was the only rider on show that could match Bewley for pace. Was unlucky in his first ride, looked like a novice in his second. Gate 2 seemed atrocious to me, sure stats will back that up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully the gate money tonight can be used to sign us a decent number 1. 7 hours ago, KeirStarmerFan said: More than 1,000 people were there IMO. So which was it?

If Cookie couldn't ride for Buster at the AFA, then he can't ride for Buster at the Showground.... Surely Never say never but Buster has binned Cookie before he even raced for Peterborough a year or so ago and after 1 match for KL 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iainb 4,962 Posted June 1, 2021 Was just watching what was going on in the pits after last nights match while I was waiting for the traffic to clear (crowd was surely more than 1,000!!) and there were a lot of "known" faces have a long look at and discussion about one of the rear tyres. I wonder if it'll become a story? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Bomber certainly looked slim enough in his 'civvies'. All the 'senior' riders did to be fair - not sure I was as slim as them when I was in my late 30s /early 40s!!

Sings4Speedway 3,246 Posted June 1, 2021 Not seen any pics from this season but is Bomber using the wacky longtrack style rear guards and hugger or did they get outlawed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
