48 minutes ago, Tapeworm said:But, if he was gating successfully, that would suggest that there was little wrong with the power/torque being produced by that engine so a different engine might not be the solution. Perhaps ragdoll's theory about his exit technique, and speed, coming out of bends 2 and 4 reveals the real cause of a reduced speed down the straights? Again, if so, this is something with which he could be helped by a more-experienced teammate.
The bike setup was great for getting out the gate all night but when it hit the dirt it was sapping the power out the engine hence the loss of straight line speed coming off the the bend he made a changes but didn't work much better so was trying to keep it out the deeper stuff his engine was good but just not strong enough ,scoring double his ave in his 1st home meeting and some people still moaning lol

I have no concerns he will be fine albeit he was riding with Vissing who he was able to let clear off and only look after himself.
This will not be the case with Flint we’re he may need to protect Flint more until he gets dialled in.
His last ride he team rode with sam to not leave him vulnerable to Borke keeping the score 3-3 Borke who would have maybe could have passed sam and give them a 4.2

I don't pretend to be an expert but is that not a simple matter of selecting the correct gearing? Correct balance to be struck between fast acceleration (gating) and top speed down the straights? Surely his team captain or more-experienced riders can offer advice on the most beneficial settings for the new Ashfield track?
No It’s Not quite as simple as that he did say he is bringing another engine up for next week

A lot off If buts and maybe,s if lee hadn’t failed his drug test pretty sure Glasgow would have won at Berwick if the team manager gave Borke 7 rides you might have got bonus point

Think starky did ok tonight paid 8 from a 4 point rider is pretty decent he used his head in his last heat to team ride with Sam to keep Borke behind but was struggling for speed suppose lack of riding doesn’t help either

Harris’ delays were relayed to me, and others, several times by multiple different people associated with the club. I’m not sure if that was strategic.
The timing of his arrival was Hollywood-like. Nothing short of spectacular, if it played-out naturally.
Having said that, why would Edinburgh agree to play along with Glasgow’s orchestrated drama? They wouldn’t.
I’m 75% sure it was real, but 25% suspicious it was a set-up.
Either way, what a situation. Brilliant.
Was 100% true he was stuck on the m6 and was in constant contact with management wasn’t dew till 8pm according to his sat nav but his driver managed to make up a good bit of time Ace piper was ready to take his ride after he was excluded with the 2 minute rule but made it on perfect time thanks to the Edinburgh management and referee for allowing the extra time and steve Worrall for having his spare bike ready and waiting

Aspirin Naproxen Ibuprofen Diclofenic Acetaminophen are about the only ones without opioids some are prescribed meds some over the counter there mainly anti inflammatory and not many will kill the pain of a crash into a air fence
-
When you think what these riders put there body through while racing and crashing and falls most must be in pain half the season while riding and there's not many pain killers you can take without any opioids in them so what do they do? some riders I know take CBD capsules as there ok which are made from cannabis lol with all the bad stuff taken out

21 minutes ago, Biffa said:Question for those who might know, Is there a facility available for Lee as he hasn’t ridden for Glasgow this year? Sorry if it’s a repeated question, genuinely don’t know the answer. Thanks.
Yes Guest can only see Hagon getting the spot

34 minutes ago, szkocjasid said:While you make a fair point Edinburgh "arrive with much the same mediocre side as last year" Glasgow are far weaker than last year. So if anything Edinburgh should perform better this time.
Not many Edinburgh riders been on a bike yet this season so could be coming in cold

The second test done in the lab will determine what was picked up in the first test pretty sure they can tell the difference between medication drugs and cocaine now a days

would think Dillion Ruml would be a decent last signing must be one of the few that came over on a asset 5 and put something on his average gutsy rider well worth a shout still had all his equipment here
