abbo 229 Posted April 12, 2014 I predict that Hans will not make it on Monday, he limped away out of the pits on his way to Poland, then expected to be back on Monday to take on Holder etc, on his own admission he failed to consult a Doctor over his knee problems in case they find something seriously wrong us not the way to take on Poole. Time he was seen by medical staff so Coventry can support their appearance on Sky for first time thus season, time for temporary replacement methinks before Monday's meeting. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to believe a professional like Hans would not see a specialist the very next day. He would be wise to give Poland a miss and sort out the injury...

philfromcov 326 Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) think the track is a bit of a smokescreen, only heat one did we look good enough and then the thought was iversen wont be that bad again. after heat two it was obvious we were going to struggle, unfortunately its the same old same old no home heat leaders equals defeat simples i think the new format will take some getting used to. mid meeting i thought i was watching coventry storm, its very apparent how weak the league has become Edited April 12, 2014 by philfromcov Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted April 12, 2014 Great win for The Stars. Rather mixed fortunes for Team Lewis. Still think there is massive improvement to come in this Stars Team. Lambert has his first scalps in Elite League Speedway, with I'm sure many more to come. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he might try and ride again reading into the Bees website...“Hans’s knee is playing up but he says he will be okay, he is racing on Sunday in Poland and he wants to ride at Poole on Monday.” Can't afford 4 points on Monday from Hans, he needs to be fit or be replaced with a guest. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tellboy 3,662 Posted April 12, 2014 I must be getting immune and able to completely ignore everything because I never heard him say that. He is getting on a bit now though so you have to make allowances. Bet you're glad you went in the end. Yes we will let him off,my daughter found it amusing every time he said it though. Haven't been to Brandon for probably 15 years at least,and after the first 2 heats I was thinking I won't be back for another 15 years.But the racing wasn't that bad really. Think I may have seen you before the meeting but didn't introduce myself as you were talking to people.It would have been rude just to push in on people and introduce myself.Maybe next time.

mdmc82 2,878 Posted April 12, 2014 Hope we get a guest for Hans on Monday as we need to be as strong as possible against Poole Hans needs to get his knee looked at before he makes it worse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yikes 28 Posted April 12, 2014 Glad to finally see an Elite meeting be run at Brandon. Roger Lambert had a cracking night Haha - Yorkie, hang up that microphone - please. Track not great but a massive improvement to what was dished up at the first Storm meeting. Outside line never attempted by Harris, he looked more like Smolinski plugging away on the inside to pass people. Maybe it will be better for next one, the banking should make for good racing at track improves. Great to hear David Hammond back again this year after being brought back mid way through last year but the rest of the presentation was rubbish, big silent pauses, what's changed this year. Not heard the National anthem played at a speedway meeting at Brandon for about 15 years, except for perhaps the World Cup or Grand Prix. Team - still early days but some good signs. Some not so - Hans clearly struggled with injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingbee 510 Posted April 12, 2014 He beat Bjerre (twice) and Schlein two of the three heatleaders and didnt lose to the 2nd strings, done his job.every body beat Bjerre Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,666 Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) He beat Bjerre (twice) and Schlein two of the three heatleaders and didnt lose to the 2nd strings, done his job.Harris only beat Schlein in heat 15 when the win was in the bag in their match ups. He beat a very off form Bjerre and a 16 year old twice. World Class joke is Bomber. Premier League for him next year, he might even make the draft list for 2015 Edited April 12, 2014 by screamer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted April 12, 2014 every body beat Bjerre Not the point, his job is to beat other heat leaders and not to be beaten by 2nd strings he did that. Bomber still has the 2 highest away scores riding at 5 ( 1 Bees and 1 guest appearance) so in fact he has started the season better than most other number 5s.

No it wouldn't, as long as you got the right person. I was with a Border Collie but there were a few others there as well that I saw on my travels - Taffy who belongs to Rory Schlien, Edward the Golden Retriever, a Staffie and a Brown Mastiff type. Shame we didn't get to meet but hopefully there will be another time. We'll no doubt be coming to Kings Lynn sometime too this season because they allow dogs. Glad you enjoyed your visit and I'm sure the result. ......Yikes.....

Not heard the National anthem played at a speedway meeting at Brandon for about 15 years, except for perhaps the World Cup or Grand Prix. What's changed is no Chris Simpson. Agree about the presentation though with all the silent pauses - not good. I don't know what the idea is with the National Anthem after all these years but I'm not standing up anyway.

Trees 2,814 Posted April 12, 2014 Poor old Bomber, you're laying into him something rotten, I hope he can get sorted and shut you all up ;-) Up the Stars!!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bee 26 426 Posted April 12, 2014 A better test will be next Friday as Leicester don't have such a top heavy three like Kings Lynn Hopefully the track will have more dirt and Harris can muster his first win 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
