old bob at herne bay 828 Posted June 12, 2021 Sensitive souls the lot of you ….. if you took a look at the line up for Gustrow it beggars belief that the League of Nations of riders in the meeting , including one from Argentina will be able to travel to Germany.Do you not agree.? Incidentally I would applaud any young rider who puts club before personal ambition .Would be a refreshing change , although in this instance apparently not the case. There are far too many of these under “something or other” meetings in ridiculously difficult locations. Could have been worse I suppose if they were drawn in the Daugavpils round. Enjoy your meeting against the Monarchs, wherever your R/R rides sure you will register a good home win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wish I was that confident but I rate their 3 heat leaders the best in the CL at Arlington although it is Sam Masters first visit he is probably the best rider in the CL at present. Everything may depend on which Eddie Kennett turns up. Barring accidents it should be knife edge stuff so I will go for a draw 45-45 with a particularly good 'racing' meeting.

Technik 487 Posted June 12, 2021 I think Eddies only problem is the long lay off, he's stiff & his reactions are not yet at their prime, but I'm sure it's all going to come back soon. I expected the Eagles to be dominate at reserve this season. The injury to Kerr is a blow but it can be covered by R/R at home but I think a guest away would be the best option. Masters has a wealth of experience & rides the tight Monmore track each week so I don't think there's much to scare him at Arlington. It will be tight but I'll take a 4 point home win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the Eagles will be ok yes Masters might run riot, Worrall is going decent enough at the moment and pickering is always a threat but I fear the challenge ends there. Thomsen needs a couple of rides to get dialled in each time, Greaves has been average and Lawlor just back from mystery injury. Even with Kemp out and Ablitt probably stepping in i reckon the Eagles have enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Bob was the same on the Lakeside forum, came across with a strange dislike of the club, its riders and management. He comes across as bitter to the sport in general but I'm sure the old boy has a heart of gold if anybody ever meets him at a tract in the south east.. Eastbourne win BTW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was mentioned earlier that Alfie Bowtell guests instead of Drew - Expecting a really good show from Richard Lawson and just hope Eddie is in his grass track form - Got to be really positive from Heat one - 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
