YAMYAMBANDIT 560 Posted August 10, 2013 Interesting practice. Very trick slack but apparently theres some dirt going down for tonight. Mikkel Bech looks very fast! Damn well hope not. last thing we need for good racing is a load of shale on the track. Thats been the problem at Berwick, nothing on the inside knee deep on the outside.. Last two or three meetings they have started to get there with less shale and more water, keep up the improved track prep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emilali 500 Posted August 10, 2013 Bech, Bjerre and particularly Bellego are hoping for some dirt to go down. Berwick is even more boring than normal when its slick. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny the spud 2,281 Posted August 10, 2013 Can someone explain the point in making the track completely different between practice and racing ? Why bother with practice in the first place if you're gonna bloody change it !! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emilali 500 Posted August 10, 2013 Can someone explain the point in making the track completely different between practice and racing ? Why bother with practice in the first place if you're gonna bloody change it !! Seems to be the standard thing with these big meetings. Hopefully the track will be grippy without having an over amount of shale on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrs 3,290 Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Can someone explain the point in making the track completely different between practice and racing ? Why bother with practice in the first place if you're gonna bloody change it !! That certainly seems ridiculous to me, however you often hear the GP guys saying that the track has been prepped differently for the GP compared to practice. Are the FIM having any say in the preparation ? Good luck to all the riders tonight, there is a lot of quality talent at the meeting, and it would certainly be a boost for Berwick if Bellego does something special tonight, and good luck to young Adam, it would be good to see him collect a few scalps, its a big test for him but also great experience and another part of the learning curve and hopefully he and Kyle and Joe can pick up some points. In reality though I think Pawlicki and Dudek are likely to be front runners. Edited August 10, 2013 by jrs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

racers and royals 8,736 Posted August 10, 2013 Car park is full at 5pm, 2 hours before the start time. I've heard that David Bellago was not allowed to practice today There can only have been 2 reasons for him not to practice 1 he arrived after scruitineering had finished 2 his equipment failed scruitineering.

Dempo 124 Posted August 10, 2013 The impression I got in the pits earlier was that David chose not to practice 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted August 10, 2013 Just looked in on the scores - a big pat on the back to Kyle for his great score and putting in a real challenge. I hope Adam enjoyed the experience and has put a valuable lesson in the memory bank. His time will come of that I have no doubt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spittalbandit 95 Posted August 10, 2013 got to say well done to everyone involved from the riders to the track staff. best meeting have been to in years. just goes to show speedway can be entertaining if all the ingredients are right. gladly pay twenty quid every week if it was like this . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
