Shadders 4,137 Posted May 12, 2016 A few of those points have come when someone had failed to finish otherwise it would be lower. The PL is a tough league and I can't see how struggling this much in almost every race, including the reserve heats, is helping the lad. It was frightening how far off the pace he was.

JmeRay 53 Posted May 12, 2016 It was frightening how far off the pace he was. The way it's going for him he'll never get another team spot here & so the gamble not to race more back in Denmark may have backfired in a big way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to know who recommended him to Rye House. Were his scores looked at in detail, any footage of him "racing" seen before he was signed? Panic signing perhaps, but has backfired. Another meeting we should've won. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike.Butler 601 Posted May 13, 2016 Well I quite enjoyed this meeting. Bit of atmosphere on back straight. Some close racing and I thought track looked well prepared. Perhaps I need a new pair of glasses or my expectations are lowering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted May 13, 2016 A half decent five pointer in the other reserve spot and we would have won last night. Lanham and Kasper should have pressure on their spots also, Lanham's done enough laps around Ipswich to be doing better than three points. Relied on Kennett going unbeaten yet again. Robbo's scored his average so no issues with his performance for me. Morley with two heat wins away from home, very good for a number seven. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash 497 Posted May 13, 2016 That's typical Lanham at Ipswich which is why he hasn't ridden for the club a lot. Ipswich let that meeting get away so need a miracle to get through to next round, maybe Kennett's van breaking down on route. Why do they insist on having an interval, always happens with the Witches, going well, take an interval and let the other team back in. If they want an interval take it after heat 15 and then have some junior racing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pob 545 Posted May 13, 2016 Kennett was so smooth and so fast last night , class act from last night never ever looked like he was going to be beaten . A half decent five pointer in the other reserve spot and we would have won last night.Lanham and Kasper should have pressure on their spots also, Lanham's done enough laps around Ipswich to be doing better than three points.Relied on Kennett going unbeaten yet again. Robbo's scored his average so no issues with his performance for me. Morley with two heat wins away from home, very good for a number seven. Lanham yes was a little poor but i thought Kasper worked very hard for his 4 points . Was on the pace every race . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted May 13, 2016 I can't remember the last time Kennett was beaten at ipswich. I'm sure he rode a faultless maximum last season to. Which makes me wonder why he isn't in our number 1 race jacket. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash 497 Posted May 13, 2016 There were rumours at the end of last season that he was coming to Ipswich as he didn't want another year of carrying the Rockets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lanham yes was a little poor but i thought Kasper worked very hard for his 4 points . Was on the pace every race . Trouble is he's always going to have to fight for his points because he can't gate. Always battling/he's a nice guy, are arguments in the same vein for me. I don't particularly care, I want a bloke who can score the points. I can't remember the last time Kennett was beaten at ipswich. I'm sure he rode a faultless maximum last season to. Which makes me wonder why he isn't in our number 1 race jacket. Because he's just as good around Rye and in our number one race jacket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
