mdmc82 2,878 Posted August 10, 2014 Yes looks like heavy showers around 4-7pm, can't afford for it to be re-arranged! lets hope its wrong. was meant to be 90% chance of heavy rain all day in coventry yet been sunny and dry since 3pm This will be another important meeting in the bees race for the play offs. we have more home meetings to come than the other teams in contention but away points would take the pressure off at home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brandon 134 Posted August 10, 2014 COVENTRY finally go back into Elite League action on Monday at the start of a hectic spell with their first visit of the season to Belle Vue (7.30pm). The Buildbase Bees are racing for the first time since they defeated the Aces 52-39 at Brandon on July 18, and the battle is now firmly on to finish in the top four and qualify for the play-offs. Bees are currently sixth in the table, four points behind fourth-placed Swindon, but they have matches in hand on all of their rivals and crucially there are still eight home matches remaining, several of them against fellow play-off challengers. And they will have the luxury of a full-strength team for the trip to Manchester, with Kyle Howarth back from injury and star reserve Jason Garrity available – the two young Brits having both completed plenty of laps of Kirkmanshulme Lane earlier in their speedway education. Opponents Belle Vue started the season strongly at home, but have lost back-to-back matches on their own shale against Swindon and King’s Lynn – and those results, coupled with a lack of success on the road, have led to the Aces slipping to the foot of the table. That low position is despite the on-paper strength of No.1 Matej Zagar and fellow heat-leaders Scott Nicholls and Craig Cook, along with Bees asset Stefan Nielsen at reserve, and it will certainly be no easy meeting if Coventry are to secure their fifth away win of the season. Manager Gary Havelock said: “We’re in a good place at the moment, and our away form has more than counter-acted for a few little hiccups at home when we haven’t taken all three points. “It’s all about making sure we’re in the top four come the cut-off date, and it’s really going to get exciting now. It’s going to be a mad race for the finishing line, and we can be there.” BELLE VUE (from): Craig Cook, Scott Nicholls, Stefan Nielsen, Lee Payne, Michael Palm Toft, Richie Worrall, Matej Zagar. BUILDBASE BEES (from): Hans Andersen, Jason Garrity, Kenneth Hansen, Chris Harris, Kyle Howarth, Michael Jepsen Jensen, James Sarjeant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted August 10, 2014 BV are still very strong around Kirky Lane; Big performance needed from MJJ and Hansen if the Bee's want the points. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

salty 2,202 Posted August 11, 2014 MJJ warmed up nicely in Poland today with an 18 point maximum!Not hard to see why.Apparently after the meeting he was quoted "Last week I was gutted about missing the World Cup, but this week the removal of the JJR moniker has been like a weight lifted off my shoulders. This season has been awfully tough with this handicap so it feels like a fresh start. It is hard to put your finger on how it affects you, but you just sense people are more reserved and distant around you, they don't make eye contact - its like you've got some sort of infectious disease. It has been tough, just look how it has affected Patrick this year." MJJ hopes that the East of England keyboard stalker will now leave him alone, "you don't like to wish ill on a fellow rider, but that Brady Kurtz is not only quick, but incredibly fresh faced" 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
