I would agree with you if his time was slow. Bomber won heat 15 in a slower time of 62.81. Cleggy, keep up the good performances .....but not against me Pirates! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robbee 19 Posted July 24, 2022 My view of Max Cleggs ride from the Grandstand ... it was and still is sensational ! Beat Kyle Howarth and Bomber fair and square , Kyle may have been in second place but he sure as hell wasn't just protecting Clegg - he couldn't get near him ! LOL Great ride for the young man .... hopefully more of the same please 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

False dawn 2,298 Posted July 25, 2022 Max Clegg's gate and 1st and 2nd bend in heat 11 was top drawer. His blast around the outside was straight out of the Bomber play book. It truly stunned the crowd and we all watched in real surprise as he put 4 faultless laps together in the 6th fastest time of the night. Kyle wasn't covering his back or holding up Bomber. In fact the three were quite spread out by the end of the race. I've had my own doubts about this signing. But credit, where credit is due. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyPresley 102 Posted July 25, 2022 Max can be very good on his day. I've seen him beat some top riders around Brough Park. Consistency and away form are his problems, not his ability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beaten by Cole in heat 2, then pulls a corker in heat 11. Sort of did the same at Scunny. I recall a story (I think it was true) of Martin Rogers holding a toy gun to a rider's head as a way of motivating him to up his game on one occasion. It might have been Greg Szczpanik who was usually scoring 000 but on that occasion Martin's methods worked. So I wonder which method Stewart Dickson is using to get Cleggy motivated later in matches?

In fact the three were quite spread out by the end of the race. I've had my own doubts about this signing. But credit, where credit is due. I was watching Max very closely on the BSN on Friday night because of all of the "discussion" around his inclusion in the team. What I did notice is that he made the gate in almost every race and was 1st or 2nd in the, what they call holeshot these days, but then soon got passed. If he had managed to maintain his "holeshot" position he would easily have scored double figures, so fair play to the lad. 5 minutes ago, Big Al said: So I wonder which method Stewart Dickson is using to get Cleggy motivated later in matches?

Totally agree Worrall won heat 9 in 63.13, Lawson won heat 10 in 62.81, Cleggy won heat 11 in 62.50. Whatever happened behind him?.........he was away & gone! Wonder if the machine examiner was kinda curious? Edited July 25, 2022 by Turnip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a PE teacher (a long, long time ago) who "encouraged" us to climb over, jump across, run faster, etc. by promising to give some "TLC" to anyone lacking in effort and ability. This was followed by the brandishing of a large plimsoll shoe (these were the predecessors of trainers) with "TLC" written on the sole. I think he later became quite a prominent basketball coach, so it didn't do his career any harm, unfortuntely. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
