stu219 92 Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Not at all. King did not win heat 12, Starke did so Danny only had 8 points. Fair call by our team manager in my view 23 minutes ago, Bash said: Another baffling decision by Hawkins to put Riss in over King in last heat, but good win anyway Edited May 9, 2022 by stu219 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash 496 Posted May 9, 2022 Updates site had King winning, and now it's been changed to Starke so fair enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 5,993 Posted May 9, 2022 Races that they showed on Eurosport, the track looked really dusty. Any reason why they didn't water the track? Was there rain threatening? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,232 Posted May 9, 2022 Starke packing up whilst leading heat 2 was a shame. Would have given him a double figure score. He’s riding really well and makes a big difference at reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Witches got to be targeting at least a point here. Hume replaces Rowe for Witches. Spot on, as proved TJ turned in a typical Monmore performance. Different story with Ryan in the team. 11 hours ago, Beowulf said: The injury to Douglas should mean Ipswich's chances of getting something from the meeting have gone up quite a few notches now. As proved to be. Good win for the Witches. Missing Dougie made all the difference. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beowulf 1,512 Posted May 9, 2022 On the night Ipswich deserved the win. Doyle was imperious, heat 15 didn't matter. May have been a different result with Douglas but who can say for sure. Generally Wolves were poor, and as the match progressed could not see Wolves how Wolves could win it. The engine room of Becker and Jorgensen was very disappointing. Don't really attach any blame to Joregensen, expecting a guest rider to ride as well as a home rider is unrealistic dispite his score of last week. Becker is currently far below his performances of last year let alone improving. The way the Wolves team is set up the top 5 have to perform, and that didn't happen tonight. The reserves will remain reserves all year and unfortunately at the moment it doesn't appear that they will be able to soften the load on the top 5. A job well done by Ipswich. Wolves are always going to be trouble when Barker scores Round Monmore ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TTT 1,187 Posted May 10, 2022 Wolves were always going to lose last night no matter what the management decided. Couldn't run R/R considering the form issues with Becker and reserves who haven't mastered Monmore yet. Limited guests available and none of them would've got close to Dougie's points as he's just too good around Monmore these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
