Can only be a good thing at that price. It's expensive enough for the average rider to keep their bikes up to scratch without needing the next bling thing.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted February 27, 2023 I have the Leicester riders the other way around. It was a great race. Heat 05: King, B.Cook, R.Worrall, D.Thompson 1-5 (16-14) Line Up: R.Worrall, D.Thompson, King, B.Cook Comments: R.Worrall gated but King divebombed him bend 3 lap 1 to take the lead. A fantastic ride from B.Cook to pass Both Lions exiting bend 2 lap 4 to take 2nd and a Poole 5-1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,784 Posted February 27, 2023 Worrall suffered a puncture during the race and ended up crawling over the line in fourth, I think Thompson took him on the run in IIRC. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
