torpointfanatic22 268 Posted April 4, 2015 He didn't seem quick enough though for a no.1. Even on his first bike, he seemed a bit sluggish against the top pairing. He had Worrall and Wright easily beaten and to be fair I don't think many will come to the OTA and beat messers Grajczonek and Kurtz. First meeting of the season so we'll see. I'm not convinced he is the Fish of old though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cliffeboy 577 Posted April 4, 2015 I'd hardly say he couldn't get going all night, he was a decent 2nd to Josh in heat 1 and was comfortably in front and looking quick in his second before his engine went bang. On his second bike I'd agree he wasn't anywhere near as quick. I thought Somerset showed yet again how strong they are at the top end. In the pre-season I wondered if they would be a top 4 team given the septet they were tracking but with Kurtz, Grajczonek, Worrall and Wright up top they will take some beating. However if Starke has an off night I still think you may be vulnerable. From a Devils point of view, well the scorecard probably does do it justice although I still find it unbelievable how many jump starts you lot don't get pulled back on at your own track. Lanham 13 points at Rye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the score card more than done Plymouth justice, who were pretty poor. Risager mixed it a couple of times and Simota looked half decent when he got out the gate, but Holder and Fisher both looked very uncomfortable and poor at best. Nielsen was poor as expected and Chapman as predicted before the season began is nowhere near premier league standard. A more than convincing win for the Rebels, with as you quite rightly say the top 4 firing on all cyclinders, and both Starke and Lanham chipping in with valuable points.

Cliffeboy 577 Posted April 4, 2015 Err think this post should be on the Plymouth Somerset thread which don't exist Looking at the updates site it would appear that Bradys mechanical problems cost us tonight. Still a good point won shame it wasnt 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought Holder looked like he had plenty of potential. Ok he had two poor rides (his first was because he penalised himself by moving at the start) but then in two of his other rides he showed he had fire in his belly by chasing Brady hard for the first lap before losing ground on the flying Aussie Rebel, but then also keeping Richie Worrall honest for all four laps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
