Apart from the result it was ok,surprised at the size of the crowd looked pretty sparse,but at least we have speedway back and we are up and running Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bowtell didn't look great but have seen him do well in the past I'm sure he'll be fine. Exactly this i actually thought Goret looked fast on track but was terrible out the gate! Cook and Ruml and Bowtell were a mile off the pace Pedersen very good was a class above everyone Crump was a little disappointing but hes my favourite all time rider so might just of been my un-realistic expectations Scunny looked decent but will have far harder tests, was surprised by Pjiper though looked fast.. Track was pretty poor today and basically a Pedersen dream track of which he took full advantage and was very good but understandable considering weather etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may be wrong,they were off the pace a little but not by much,they all look to have potential.hardly any falls amongst them either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me Goret looked like he had some pace however the others were really quite bad Theo Pijper and Kyle Howarth were nearly a straight clear after one lap in one of the heats 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moranboys 411 Posted May 23, 2021 Can only wonder why the referee put crump back 15 metres,for protesting at autys tyre warming? He spoilt what was potentially a damn good speedway race, Scunthorpe had the meeting won,but he should have used his discretion and not penalised him.again the paying public get short-changed because of one act of lunacy by the ref.. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tosh1218 592 Posted May 23, 2021 Have the rules changed on guest riders 7 days before as I’m sure Kyle Howarth will be back with Leicester this week ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shrimmy 143 Posted May 23, 2021 I’ve said for a few seasons now that the track is nothing like it used to be...yes it’s very smooth and easy to ride but as for going into the dirt line for overtaking and getting past opponents it never hardly happens as shown today because the amount of effort that the riders put in to overtake there’s no grip whatsoever and it’s so frustrating for us spectators never mind the riders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,780 Posted May 23, 2021 Big risk going with three untried foreign riders in the top five, you can see Plymouth getting more hidings away from home. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought that, how many times have you seen someone going from last to first or second by blasting round the boards. Always gets the crowd going as well.

ScunnyDan 335 Posted May 23, 2021 Good all round team performance tonight.. was awesome to have an atmosphere there too! Pick for rider of the night - Jordie Palin, if he can carry on riding like that, he'll be a star for the Scorpions, also very impressed with Josh MacDonald!

Shrimmy 143 Posted May 23, 2021 Yes I agree first few heats was similar nature but after that it seemed like hard graft to overtake anyone very disappointing..but still it was an ok meeting with some close racing but to many strung out heats which is not normal viewing at the EWR 10 minutes ago, brylcream boy said: I thought that, how many times have you seen someone going from last to first or second by blasting round the boards.
