He definitely wasn't interested last night, free wheeling into every turn apart from the first lap of his first ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Jacobs 554 Posted September 9, 2022 Confirmed in Panthers report of the match: "However, Basso has been struggling with a shoulder injury in recent weeks and further wrenched it during the meeting, meaning that having ridden in Heats 13 and 14, he did not feel physically able to contest Heat 15."

There we go. The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure it will be fine for todays GP practice I jest, Basso, Harris and Jenkins over the past 6 weeks have been the only shining light on a thoroughly awful season.

marko 956 Posted September 11, 2022 Batchelor is an embarrassment to speedway, no idea why he does it, I can’t see what he can get out of it, he clearly doesn’t enjoy it. Maybe he is on a very nice downside agreement regardless of what points he scores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As someone who has seen him ride for Ipswich I think generally his commitment has been excellent. he was signed as a 5 point rider and is now riding in the tough number 5 position. He has had some fantastic 5-1 wins with Doyley yes he relies on his gating but he can pass when in the mood. He needs to feel valued and he is at Ipswich as he was at Swindon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that's why he confounds and annoys a lot of fans. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
