SCB 15 Posted January 27, 2014 Loram couldnt gate but won a world crown so a lot depends on making clever moves in the first bend which both Loram and Darcy seem able to do. Jan O' wasnt a good starter but when he won his world crown he made 5 fantastic gates TBf Mark had the benefit of only ever needing to finish 2nd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,062 Posted January 28, 2014 TBf Mark had the benefit of only ever needing to finish 2nd. Well if you finish second in all your races i reckon you would be world champ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 1,497 Posted February 9, 2014 “Phil is working really hard on that side of things, which is what we brought him in for. I wanted him to look at trying to improve me. I’ve never really sat back and studied other riders’ starting. Maybe I should have done years ago.” Quote from Bomber on speedway gp website. Laugh or cry ?

PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted February 9, 2014 In a gp system yes. In the old world finals, no. Mauger reckons noone practiced gating as much as he and ole olsen -would seem the results of that were obvious. BOTH Ivan and Ole were very meticulous about adjusting their own clutches. Ivan was always bemused that Mark Loram never really did. Coincidence that one was a master starter, the other not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted February 12, 2014 Anybody got a taser gun Phil could borrow which he fires at Bomber when the tapes go up, that would make him want to get away quicker from the line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
