Baldyman 6,243 Posted August 28, 2019 Probably different everything, different shape, size, type of dirt, bikes would also be different with exhaust regs and stuff like that. It's the same as starting from scratch 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes but you don't want to play the strongest team in the semi leave the tough one to the final, so you try to finish top, pick the weakest team and let the other two fight it out and you never know the strongest might get knocked out.

Be interesting to see how they do at Poole on Sept 5th. Edited August 28, 2019 by lisa-colette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strongest for a reason though! I don't ever remember the strongest getting knocked out before? And if they do, surely the team who knocked them out is stronger anyway cos they beat them!!?

He’s got to get past the tapes first. It is not getting past the tapes that is a problem for Sarjeant. It is going under them rather than over them that is his problem.

Finishing top particularly this year is key because one of Ippo or Aces look vulnerable. The other semi should indeed be one tough encounter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
