Grachan 7,362 Posted August 9, 2018 3 hours ago, Sidney the robin said: He is a rider making great strides last year he had a terrible spleen injury so this year it has taken him time to get to the form that he wanted.He is a rider who should be in Swindon's plans for the next five years and i would hate for us to do all the groundwork with Zach then for someone else to get the just rewards.Zach,Rowe,Nielsen are all riders who hopefully have a future at Swindon but come the play/offs if we get there i would fancy Zach at home against most reserves i really enjoy watching Zach making progress everyweek. 3 hours ago, Sidney the robin said: A routine home win for the Robins but there still looks a vulnerable look to the side.Adam,Zach,Tobi, David were all really solid.The track held up ok in the end and seeing that the meeting did not start until after 8 the meeting was pushed through pretty promptly.For Leicester Hans ( when he rolled and gated) was decent Scott was great value Dave Howe was very good always in the mix they all did well.Also though he didn't score many points i thought Connor Mountain for a NL rider was always on the pace and being at number six against the likes of Bellego,Ellis,Musielak was difficult i think the lad can make progress. Nice posts, Sidney. Thanks for those. Good to see someone actually making some comments on last night's meeting instead of all the other crap. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyabb17 1,077 Posted August 9, 2018 Hans has tweeted this morning praising the track staff for all the work they did & managed to serve up a good race track. Good work by all considering the amount of rain which came down around 5.30ish... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpecialOne 68 Posted August 9, 2018 I was there last night (as I always am) and I would like to give credit to the track staff, riders and particularly Rosco (who we trust). A good performance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted August 9, 2018 After the delay due to the track needing some work on it some of the racing was very good, far better than the score suggests, a good performance from the team but especially from the pairing of Adam and Tobi, and the performance from Zach. David Bellego had a good meeting scoring 9 from 4 rides, so that is one in the eye for one poster who has been rubbishing him. Hans and Scott rode well for Leicester and made some of the heats enjoyable. The points of the top 5 teams in the league are very close so we just need to keep doing well to get to the playoffs 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very tight though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's one of the top riders in his age range & I'm glad that the Robins bought him as an asset. He will be a great rider in the future & I'm more than happy with him as a reserve. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was down but only by a small number which was not a surprise due to the thought that the meeting would not be good but they actually missed some good races 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
