SCB 0 Posted April 21, 2016 And given the rules this year, could maybe all end up at reserve during the next six months!!!!! Just looking at Pooles team and I wouldn't be shocked if by the end of the season (possibly even the end of May) they have all had a spell as heat leader!

krompa 236 Posted April 21, 2016 Why was Steve Worrall still at reserve? With higher average than Ritchie? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted April 21, 2016 Why was Steve Worrall still at reserve? With higher average than Ritchie? Because he's a draft rider. And draft rider stay in reserve until they have raced 2 home and 2 away meeting and get a new average. For BV this looks like it could be some time in August!

Crazy robin 2,966 Posted April 21, 2016 Doyle is a cut above as a rider right now but he's got a lot to learn about PR Why, what's he said now? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Congratulations to Swindon on a deserved win. I predicted we would lose without Richie and Swindon having Grajczonek as a second string and Tungate at reserve. However, the deciding factor seemsto have been good night's for Sedgman and Morris and a poor night for Cook. I wonder if Rosco is still complaining about the number of races decided from the gate. It's all part and parcel of the sport. Edited April 21, 2016 by Aces51 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

milney 10 Posted April 21, 2016 Using the phrase "now maybe he'll shut his mouth" about his team manager is not a good idea I'd suggest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
van wolfswinkel 635 Posted April 21, 2016 Superb win for Doyley's Rockin Red Roobins, was all over by heat 4. Onwards and upwards for Swindon. Bloody freezing cold wind at The Abbey, but it was worth it. BV surprisingly poor, wont be a match for Poole at this rate, Swindon were on fire tonight. GO ROBINS!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,827 Posted April 21, 2016 So the Robins have finally come to the party! Or are Wolves just better than the Aces? Answers on a postcard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For BV this looks like it could be some time in August!Apparently any reserve without a proper average by May 1 can be given a 'new' average by the BSPA management ctte! Who knew!

mdmc82 2,878 Posted April 21, 2016 His away average 8.5 currently and at least one of his rides needs to be taken by Joe. Tonight showed again why the new RR rule for missing 2nd strings doesn't work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikec 412 Posted April 21, 2016 Cookie didn't start last season too great for the Aces either, got better as the season went on & was flying by the season's end. Expect similar this season as finds rhythm & confidence. Lack of meetings not helping him. Matej Zagar nowhere near his best at the moment, anyone who watches the Polish meetings will have seen that. Expect him to be much sharper once the GP Series gets going. No excuses, congrats to the Robins on deserved win. As for the Aces we'll be fine - having our track up & running would definitely help though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
