Rye House V Wolves Saturday 15th July.

[JmeRay 53]

The meeting turned in heat 12 with a totally unexpected 5-1 from Barker & Morley over Schlein & Perks. Up to then, it had really been nip and tuck.

 

I can't help but think that the track should be better and if it was it would help Rye House. Most of the passing was off the second bend after the start where as Harris & Barker in particular would benefit from more racing lines.

I agree with your post.

 

This season the track seems to have the one racing line.

The rye track is how most of the current riders like It, slick and smooth. I would like to see a bit more dirt put down, but I'm not holding my breath.

Virtually all riders have a higher home average than an away average. I challenge you to give me a definitive list of 2017 premiership riders that have a higher away average than home average. I doubt that you will get to 5.

 

Curently:

 

Schlein

Cook

Harris

S Worrall

Kerr

Starke

Ellis

Ayres

 

I would expect that list to be shorter by the end of the season

Reserves did well in this meeting I think, just hope that Mark Riss can come back and be fit in time for the playoffs but looks like a long shot.

According to brother Erik, 3 or 4 weeks. He says that what was said on TV from Wolves on Monday was not right.

Thanks Arnieg, that's brilliant. 1 Poole rider in this years list and that's the one who has just joined them. And from last year's list of 5, yes just 5 riders, 2 are wolves riders who ride at the track that gives a massive home advantage.LOL.

More dirt would end up in your lap or your hair like last night as dry weather conditions don't help plus would make it tough for lesser riders.

The track is now wider at turns one and two so riders use the high line to get a run off the corner, it means the inside is now virtually redundant and with better riders this year it's all about chasing the dirt and makes the racing exciting but lacks the overtakes we purists always yearn for.

Very dusty as well towards the final few heats ,

Also 3 Belle Vue riders (Nicholls last year, Cook and S Worrall this).

 

It is a very small data set, but my instinctive guess is that riders with higher away averages are more likely to be found in stronger teams.

Cook, Schlein, Harris, Worrall, KK, Starke, Kerr, Ellis, Newman and Ayres.

 

I've only included riders who have done 6 meetings.

 

And I'd suggest Throssells home/away average is more biased towards hone than average but it's not excessive.

 

Edit- I see I was beat to it!
