THE DEAN MACHINE 4,738 Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) I’ve been both a rider and a mechanic and it’s time to ban the mechanics from the track after an unsatisfactory start, it’s annoying and unnecessary , straight back to the start Edited July 25, 2022 by THE DEAN MACHINE 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

secsy1 211 Posted July 25, 2022 Just watched heat 6 and time to turn off. Jorgensen had a nibble at tapes, but why do riders have to refuel and faff with bikes (Tatum) If they have the tools timing change (Stead) Why do we have to put up with second rate guests as commentators lining their pockets at every conceivable event and causing chaos doing so. This is why speedway is in a downward spiral due to these parasites who actually believe they are doing a great job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No pit gate open. Straight back round.. Edited July 25, 2022 by mikebv 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tellboy 3,660 Posted July 25, 2022 13 minutes ago, mikebv said: To be fair... You cannot compare Poland's version of Speedway to the UK example.. It's like comparing Premier League football to the Evostick Northern Premier League football.. In Poland it means so much, with promotion, relegation, big crowds, professional infrastructure, and huge financial rewards, sponsorship, and media coverage... None of those things apply over here, therefore it is what it is.. Which is pretty much a vehicle for lads to earn as much as they can to justify a large outlay on kit.. As the race with Pickering showed, the spectacle is still worth watching, even if the operating model clearly, and obviously, doesnt do it any favours... Beats Emmerdale, Corrie and Eastenders on a Monday... Having you finger nails pulled out with a rusty pair of pliers beats watching that rubbish. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TTT 1,226 Posted July 25, 2022 Lawson's really struggled around Monmore this year which is a big surprise considering the experience he's got around the technical tracks from his Lakeside & Eastbourne days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TTT 1,226 Posted July 25, 2022 Superb piece of riding from Lewis Kerr. Runs as wide as he could possibly go to gift Sam Masters an easy pass via the Karlsson corridor 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not many riders at Wolves lock up on bends one and two and pass up the inside exiting turn two.. NB: Even Simon Stead has hardly mentioned it...

therefused 819 Posted July 25, 2022 Riders should just not be penalised for moving in my opinion, as long as you don’t touch the tapes let the race go, would cut down on a lot of re runs and late nights 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,271 Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) Dont Speedway riders ever watch racing from Monmore? I presume not... Nor I presume must their team managers... Edit: And again... Edited July 25, 2022 by mikebv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bloom89 494 Posted July 25, 2022 It's so annoying when riders just give up when there at the back, the amount of riders who have done it tonight is ridiculous. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
