Endeavour 681 Posted October 22, 2021 16 minutes ago, eide67 said: Very good all round team performance from Glasgow. The whole team looked like they could pass from the back and Cookie looked like he could have gone off 15m every race and still got a max. But I think the main reason the tie is now a virtual formality was Broc Nicol - after a first race last, and with Glasgow just 2 up after 5 heats, he was involved in 3 5-1's over the next 5 heats to completely knock the stuffing out of the Monarchs. No lack of effort from the Edinburgh riders but beaten by the better team on the night. Still think the Monarchs have a slight chance tonight but feel the Tigers won't let them get away from them and there'll only be 4 or 6 points in it at the end. If Cameron Heeps is in anything like his usual Armadale form then there's no chance of getting anywhere near the 22 points required. Thought we were holding our own first five heats. Thought to myself hope Kye’s fall and 2 point swing doesn’t affect outcome little thinking it would be a whopping 22. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gazzac 1,015 Posted October 22, 2021 I know Edinburgh have a pretty substantial home track advantage, but to me it would be unbelievable for any play off team not to be able to defend 22 points really. Only hope for Edinburgh is some successive 5/1's early on otherwise Glasgow should be able to control the gap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Ricky got excluded it made no difference as Marcin came in and won the race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn't a bike failure, he pulled his cut-out out making a start. It shouldn't make any difference to the result tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
