Hackett 220 Posted May 5, 2016 Was the track that bad or was it just slicker than a stripper's bikini line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone knows the Poole track is a disgrace, but never mind.

magnificentseven 243 Posted May 5, 2016 Little Quote from Jacob Thorsell on Twitter "Shame we lost yesterday at Poole.We kept up with them really good but lost it in the end.Track was really bad and dangerous.." The track looked far better than some of the tracks I have seen at Poole. There was plenty of dirt and some good racing. Andersen's pass of Lindgren and Masters was excellent as was his ride in Heat 15. Thorsell himself managed a good ride to pass Wright in Heat 4 so not too sure what he had to complain about. I think the problem some riders have is that if there is a bit of dirt down they can't handle it as they are used to riding on super slick tracks with their engines tuned as highly as possible.

magnificentseven 243 Posted May 5, 2016 On tonights performance Auty isnt good enough for EL. You moan for me making a point out of a part of your post! I suppose you never do that! By the way we were also well short of your estimate of 11-13 points from Auty and Wright although in fairness certainly not Wrights fault. As for Auty being a PL number one he must be the worst number one in the league and i would back Ellis to beat him anywhere Scores don't tell the full story. Auty wasn't that far behind in each of his rides and battled well. Wolfie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rainman 81 Posted May 5, 2016 Lots of dirt on the track last night. A far far better meeting than the Lakeside V BV show. Shame Sky dont head to Wimborne Road more often. The racing was very good last night with Hans, Buck and Thorsell having some very good battles. https://www.periscope.tv/w/afm0KTFtTUVQZVdxTm1RR2J8MWpNS2dEd3BFcWpHTACr1TFK9WPg23kR0d9JPoUnvvEDqxoIh_nkmhkVPb83 Showing the new look 4th bend.

Starman2006 2,356 Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) matt has just announced starman will be made available in the pits to advise away teams on their set ups and track conditions Nothing to do with bike set ups mate, its the way the bikes are nowadays,. The make up will not take dirt. Thats why Antonio's track record will never be broken. Nothing to do with the actual track, its the bikes.

Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted May 5, 2016 There's no excuse for having "sink holes" or "moto-x" jumps anywhere on an Elite League track.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starman2006 2,356 Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) There's no excuse for having "sink holes" or "moto-x" jumps anywhere on an Elite League track.... Very true. Tracks need to be bladed first before every meeting, then you can do what you like with them, provided you have sufficient dirt on the track..

foreverblue 6,125 Posted May 5, 2016 You cant say who is better over one meeting.Decide at the end of the season when the averages are sorted and you all can debate then who is the better rider. No i agree with that but his EL aqverage suggests at the moment Ellis is riding better . It's as rough as hell when bikes have both wheels leaving the floor it needs sorting out Lakeside looked very bumpy on the telly and that track is usually not bumpy.
