mdmc82 2,878 Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Bees name a full-strength line-up for the meeting but boss Gary Havelock has elected to make a positional switch with skipper Chris Harris assuming the No.1 position, and he changes places with Hans Andersen in an experimental move. Danny King has resumed the third heat-leader berth although his middle-order combination with Joonas Kylmakorpi, which sees them ride together in Heat 6 and 14 at home, has been retained. Havelock insists there will be no complacency from his side, who have not suffered a home defeat to any club other than Poole in the last 14 months. The change in riding order is something Ive been thinking about for a while, especially at home, and Ive spoken to the boys about it. Bomber said he'd oride anywhere we wanted him too, he doesnt mind going at No.1, and we know Hans has had a few issues with engines, so I felt just swapping them would be the least disruptive, as Danny and Joonas have been at 3 and 4 all year and theyve just switched around based on their averages and who is third heat-leader at any given time. I felt it was the right time to try it. Bomber is in good enough form to be riding at No.1 anyway, although even if it works I would probably expect to put Hans back at 1 for Lakeside away, on a gaters track where Hans does normally tend to do well. A full night of racing on Friday also features a Midland Development League second-half between the Coventry Vikings and the Wolf Cubs, along with 125cc demonstration races including new national champion Joe Thompson and his twin brother Dan. And the club will also be staging their annual collection for the Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund, which raises vital money for those who have suffered long-term or life-changing injuries whilst competing in the sport. BUILDBASE BEES : Chris Harris, Stuart Robson, Danny King, Joonas Kylmakorpi, Hans Andersen, Jason Garrity, James Sarjeant WOLVERHAMPTON : Freddie Lindgren, Jacob Thorssell, Ricky Wells, Tobiasz Musielak, Peter Karlsson, Josh Bates, Lewis Blackbird Edited July 9, 2015 by mdmc82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 Posted July 9, 2015 Cov to get 60. If you're being serious I think you're being unduly pessimistic. We're not that good and Wolves have quite a few riders who usually do well at Coventry, not forgetting Josh Bates who got a good score when guesting for us recently.

You obviously haven't watched us a lot recently. 40 points would almost be like an away win with this lot recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbird & Bates are one of the strongest reserve pairings on our track, both have had good meetings at Coventry. Wells is a track specialist and PK scored 20 on his last visit! Musielak is now a 2nd string which should make it easier for him whilst it will be more of a challenge for Wells as he's now a heat leader. Nobody knows which Lindgren or Andersen will turn up tonight. For the bees, it's Risky having Harris at number 1 although if he rides like he has it the last couple of home meetings then we are in for a treat. Sarjeant it still returning from injury. Robson is struggling. King has been in brilliant form but will have harder rides as back as a heat leader again. As we know, anything can happen on the night Predicted 49-41 Edited July 10, 2015 by mdmc82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted July 10, 2015 We should get over 50 points. We are stronger all over and I can't see Karlsson getting 20 points like last time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CB252 1,376 Posted July 10, 2015 I agree. Blackbird & Bates are one of the strongest reserve pairings on our track, both have had good meetings at Coventry. Shame it looks as if neither of them are riding then. Morris for Bates and potentially Williamson for Blackbird. Should be easy pickings for Garrity and Sarj.

NeilWatson 1,988 Posted July 10, 2015 .Friday July 10, 2015 WOLVERHAMPTON are sweating on the fitness of Lewis Blackbird ahead of tonight's trip to Coventry. Blackbird is suffering from a chest infection and is rated doubtful ahead of the trip to Brandon. Cradley's Matt Williamson has been placed on stand-by should Blackbird fail to make it. There's also a return to Parrys International Wolves colours for local lad Ashley Morris who comes in for the in-form Josh Bates who is riding for his parent club Sheffield at Edinburgh. Boss Peter Adams said: "We knew we were going to be without Josh, but the prospect of going there without Lewis is a major blow for the team. "I was on the phone until midnight ringing around last night, it's tough to replace riders like our reserves and we thank Ashley and Matt for agreeing to help out." COVENTRY: Chris Harris, Stuart Robson, Danny King, Joonas Kylmakorpi, Hans Andersen, Jason Garrity, James Sarjeant. WOLVERHAMPTON: Fredrik Lindgren, Jacob Thorssell, Ricky Wells, Tobiasz Musielak, Peter Karlsson, Ashley Morris, Lewis Blackbird or Matt Williamson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted July 10, 2015 This meeting was closer than it should have been last time, while I don't expect PK to score as well I don't expect Freddie to be so bad. It should be an easy enough home win though, even if a Bee or 3 is not firing. If Hans' and bike bikes decide to make an appearance and both King and Kylmo have a good meeting on the same day then it could be 60-30ish. I'll go 52-41 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
