Reflecting on the night it was a matter of 'if only', we'd worked so hard after being 5-1'd in the first heat to gain a 6 point advantage going into heat 10, nobody can complain at that! Panthers only evened it up in 14 then it was the last heat decider, nobody was gonna beat Bomber, he was riding the air fence all the way round! Josh was in 2nd trying his best to slow Ostergaard to help Rich past but Rich had his ef, lost a chain apparently and that was that booooo A good away performance without a number one and with Lewi having a mare really! No Trees i didn't. But no doubt he was after being 6 up. I do worry with Lewi and TJ though. Time for them to move on next season for me. On a brighter note it was great to see that Josh and Richard are winning races again, and i thought Richie scored well in the 1-5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s more important than ever the Stars sign a replacement for Niels , hopefully before the next meeting at Belle Vue. I also think that a change is needed this season for either Kerr or Jorgensen. Tungate is looking for a British team place and Klindt was a while ago. Could either replace Niels? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trees 2,814 Posted July 5, 2022 8 hours ago, Sully said: I think the blocking that Pickering was attempting needs to be looked at. On a track as fast as Peterborough it’s dangerous. Team riding is one thing but this is blatant blocking which isnt allowed in other forms of Motorsport. Only have to see what happened to Adam Ellis in the pairs when Lawson did the same thing to see what can go wrong. Creates a difference in speed between the riders which inevitably causes issues and increases the likelihood of a rider catching a back wheel. You've got to pick your place to do it for sure ......

He rides defensively, can’t argue with that, generally because he doesn’t have the speed these days but I haven’t seen him blatantly throttle off to the extent Pickering and Lawson have both done at the showground this year down the start / finish straight.

mark.1 57 Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) Klindt and Tungate both maxed out riding in 3 leagues just like Iversen Edited July 5, 2022 by mark.1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haza 1,774 Posted July 6, 2022 Think we might as well accept team changes are very unlikely to happen mainly because of rider availability . Hopefully the rules will be relaxed on 3 league rule for 2023 . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We'll never know how hard they have tried but nobody has come up with a plausible suggestion yet. However we can't be allowed a facility for Iversen until September or whenever, that would be farcical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
