YAMYAMBANDIT 560 Posted March 23, 2015 I'm guessing everyone you've spoken to was aware Matic Voldrih was riding on Saturday with his shoulder strapped up and two ice-packs on it? This following an alarming spill at Armadale the previous evening. Not heard that from anyone, including anything from the club, nor was it reported on Berwick Advertiser web site. As already said I put nothing into how a rider can ride from press & practice, it's what it is. a rider trying out the track and the bike on his own, not under race conditions. So apart from meeting them and everyone getting together for the first time this season, it serves little else. I will reserve any comments until after the first meeting. By the way at least 20 fans didn't know about him being strapped up either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewy 2,341 Posted March 23, 2015 can any body tell me if ben barker is using steen jenson bikes please just interestedOne thing for sure bens equipment wont be up to the standard of thy last couple of seasons as he is no longer part of the Revolution speedway who provided ben with very best gear and also a top mechanic on Rob Painter,i think this will effect bens scoring alot over the season his ave will drop imo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,069 Posted March 23, 2015 Agree time to tell will be when 4 riders head for 1st bend after tapes go up.Not long now. IMO its unwise to base any opinions either way on one press and practice session, even in this weekends challenge meetings with Newcastle you can bet riders will be trying new bits and bobs in readiness for the first proper meeting a week later, that's when opinions can be formed. I'm guessing everyone you've spoken to was aware Matic Voldrih was riding on Saturday with his shoulder strapped up and two ice-packs on it? This following an alarming spill at Armadale the previous evening. I see Voldrih and Jorgensen are at Newcastle today, so any shoulder injury hasn't prevented him having a few laps today.

Too many fans want the report to be always praising the team even when they are less than good. I much prefer to read what it was really like through an un-biased view, in my opinion that it was you get from Keith Hamblin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose I am lucky I just want to read things as they are and not the cloud cukoo version. There are some very good journalists out there though.. I do enjoy picking up my Guardian Newspaper Try the Independant, it's slightly less right of right in it's views, however the Guardian crossword is enjoyable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
