That aside i thought he was great tonight though - a very classy rider on his night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,032 Posted July 29, 2022 I have never heard of all 4 riders going down on the first bend before. Poor Sam, already carrying a bad injury as it is. Hopefully all back as soon as possible. So to win at Edinburgh you really need a thunderstorm after H12. They are always so good for last 3 heats! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the stream it looked like Ulrich dived down the inside of Paco entering bend 3, Paco tried to shut the door but Ulrich was ahead. Then Paco chucked it. No doubt there was contact but that was down to Paco not wanting to concede the lead. 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Watching from the pits looked like Paco left a big gap for ulrich to dive to the inside and he was just in front heading into bend 4 when Paco tried to come back over him but ulrich was caring too much speed into the corner and Paco really had to bail out racing incident 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paco left no gap, I was at the 4 th bend. Ostrich carried too much speed , dived up the inside where there was no room and wiped him out. Reminded me of a similar Wolbert move on James Grieves at Ashfield in 2011 Scottish Cup which was equally dangerous, and James did not enjoy, or sad to say the Nick Morris move on the same corner that ended Tabakas career. All well and good trying to get your team a point, but not if you might hospitalise your opponent. ! 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like Ulrich but far too aggressive last night firstly on Kye then Paco. Best wishes to Sam who was having surgery last night, Lasse and Cookie. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmuncie 201 Posted July 30, 2022 For me the heat 15 one was desperate rather than dangerous, Ulrich knew he needed to get to the front to get the Tigers a point, he also knew he had Josh up his tail so if he scrubbed his speed then he’d have been relegated to 3rd That being said the move was only ever gonna end one way and the video clearly shows him taking Paco’s leg. The heat 9 first and second bend with Kye was much worse and downright dirty. Ulrich knew exactly what he was doing and even looks over his shoulder mid corner so knows Kye is there. Ulrich is a rider who has a repetition as going over the line at times when the pressure is on and sadly that was the case again tonight definitely in the first incident maybe in the second 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said to my wife at the time that I thought Ulrich was a bit naughty there , Thomson did well to stay upright . Shame the atmosphere turned toxic after the heat 15 incident and I hope all the wounded warriors from heat 1 are back racing soon . 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
