Rob B 1,257 Posted July 14, 2017 No surprise it's Troy Batchelor guesting tonight, best rider round the NSS this season, could be close. Belle Vue Aces Kenneth Bjerre, Steve Worrall, Max Fricke, Rohan Tungate, Craig Cook, Dan Bewley, Jack Smith Swindon Robins Troy Batchelor(G), Tobias Musielak, Bradley Wilson-Dean, David Bellego, Nick Morris, Adam Ellis, Zach Wajtknecht Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyabb17 1,077 Posted July 14, 2017 We will run Belle Vue close, a point at least. Batch is a great addition under the circumstances, Ellis to have a massive influence & is likely to have 7 rides which could make the difference. COYR! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,637 Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) If I were BV I'd only ride 'under protest' at Batch's inclusion!! ;-) ;-) The SCB official granted the IRR facility for him last night, so the SCB should stop him from guesting 24 hours later. (and that's no disrespect to Swindon!) Is the NSS track looking heavy and grippy for this evening?? Edited July 14, 2017 by Skidder1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It`s a pity that they didn`t start their cheating clampdown on Good Friday with Poole(Kasprzak`s non-appearance) in that case and last night might have had a different outcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted July 14, 2017 Miraculous recovery from a wrist injury. Maybe the medics should check him over? Reports are stating it was an injury to his thumb, not his wrist and it is having treatment on it this morning and giving the meeting a go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poolebolton 464 Posted July 14, 2017 Sad to see Craig Cook not get the contract with Rybnik.. Would have been great to see him in Poland first tier. Sad to say but his WC lost him the contract from what I understand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cook is far to inconsistent,he should be cleaning up in GB if he is as good as some people make out. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lisa-colette 6,035 Posted July 14, 2017 Reports are stating it was an injury to his thumb, not his wrist and it is having treatment on it this morning and giving the meeting a go. Photo? Riders normally like putting photos of their injuries on twitter. Surely Batch has done that, oh wait... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theblueboy 960 Posted July 14, 2017 Excellent news that Troy has recovered following yesterday's meeting. Maybe sucking his thumb all night has helped him recover from that nasty experience last night? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keef robin 551 Posted July 14, 2017 Swindon were the first team to win at NSS, without Doyley, beat them last night without him, and lost when he's ridden for them, the blokes a liability! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted July 14, 2017 Perhaps the KL press officer and the Swindon press officer should have got together to get their stories right before announcing he was guesting?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
