MD 1,320 Posted April 17, 2017 Bridger has a very lucrative sponsorship with Revolution Racing who provide all his racing kit, I`d be surprised if he would want to jeopardise that by swapping to GM engines as he would probably have to start funding his own racing. Makes you wonder how old is the kit he is using. However if he has the speed, it may be a clutch issue rather than engine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparks123 151 Posted April 21, 2017 Felt sorry for Berwick they did not deserve to lose that meeting. Few dodgy starts I didn't think heat 2 was the only uneven start either. Makes you wonder how old is the kit he is using. However if he has the speed, it may be a clutch issue rather than engine. I am sure he said at the talk-in that Jawa had done some development work in the winter. He also said that at the Kings Lynn practice he was one of the most consistent riders. Just needs to get out the starts with the other riders in the race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthegearbutnaeidea 1,743 Posted April 21, 2017 Bridger is incredibly frustrating as he looks like one of the quickest riders I've seen but can't gate for sh*t at the moment 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
balderdash&piffle 720 Posted April 22, 2017 Bridger is incredibly frustrating as he looks like one of the quickest riders I've seen but can't gate for sh*t at the moment Because of the way he is sponsored, I wonder how much he gets involved in his set up on a meeting by meeting basis, does he work on the bike himself, or does he just hope his pit crew get it right.

From an interview he gave at the start of the season it would seem more of the latter and less of the former though I`m sure he is giving his crew all the information they need to get a set up. IMO Bridger has the speed and track craft round Shielfield to be a heavy scorer but at the minute his gating is letting him down and you cant give opposition riders any kind of head start.

As far as I'm aware he does nothing and doesn't even have his bikes he just goes to meetings and his 'crew' turn up with bikes ready to go, just at the moment they arn't going very fast away from the starts...

They now have a psychological head start knowing Bridger cant make a gate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
