Jaizer 2,864 Posted June 17, 2022 Josh McDonald must be most unlucky rider since Mitch Davey. Hope he's ok 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noelinho 922 Posted June 17, 2022 Seems a tiny bit insensitive to play The Chain after Josh MacDonald's fall in heat 14! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it was down to me I'd make every rider do a victory lap after winning a race, it beats watching the tractor go around the track. It also amazes me how many people in the crowd don't applaud a rider when they do come round on a victory lap... they're often too busy filling their programmes in!

Jaizer 2,864 Posted June 17, 2022 Not the best meeting of the season but good win and heat 15 was very entertaining. I think maybe time take the pressure off Tom switch him with ulle or basso. Hope all ok with cookie, very subdued tonight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He looks like his mind is elsewhere for most of this season and the latter part of last , here’s hoping things are ok with him and we get the real Cookie back soon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaizer 2,864 Posted June 17, 2022 What about basso though? Haven't seen anyone throw the bike into the bends and clip the fence since peak George stancl. Great to watch even out in front Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great to watch even out in front Your not wrong except for the Stancl bit his bike never usually made it to the fence. These youngster’s have no fear or respect for reputations he is going to the top a pleasure to watch his track craft at such a young age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MD 1,307 Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Great meeting, and a decent choice for BSN to come. Basso shone from the start and Broc looks like he is turning the corner. Typical of Summers to put in a shift like that, we waited all of 2017 for one of those. Dishington too soft with Batch in ht9. Sarj tried the same once with Jim MacGregor and the bikes almost ran him over on the next lap before he put the red lights on. Cook cant ride next week the way he did tonight. His off was unlucky but otherwise not really gating and lacking speed, or is it desire. Wish we could help him in some way.

Just a minor thought, but maybe time to stop him riding with the weakest 2nd string? Particularly away from home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tough for weakest second string to be at 4 though! I think they definitely need H8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
