CrystalCastles 292 Posted August 26, 2011 Tim's bike looked slow, and he looked a bit rusty to begin with, but got better towards the end. Hopefully he has a better engine for Saturday, but it all costs money! Cheers Vog. Yep unfortunately, I hope he can get something sorted as he is on the cusp of making it as a PL reserve. Tim worked really hard the close season to improve his equipment & to have written it of must be hard to come back from that again after his falls in 2010.

Yes certainly in heat one when he went from first to last - deffo something wrong with the bike in that one but he was on the pace by the end of the meeting.. First time I'd seen Tom 'Stretch' Armstrong...: he bloody WOULD be an Aussie wouldn't he!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just hoping that his granny had a pint of Guinness at some point and we can sign him on a 3 next year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChubbyChesgire 9 Posted August 26, 2011 On FB Tim has said he is a bit sore after last night, and was disappointed with his score. He said the first bike packed up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Main Man 222 Posted August 26, 2011 Phil knows how to pick them! does he ??? I'm sure he's pleased he had the recommendation to use him!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brummie Kev 519 Posted August 26, 2011 I'm pretty sure Tom Armstrong is an Aussie? The programme last night said his average was 3, so does he have British parent/s or something like that. If he gets a NL place then that average would at least double, given what I saw last night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, good to see Jack Hargreaves and Jamie Pickard amongst the points last night, hopefully bodes well for Sunday at West Row. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
