rearingtogo 119 Posted April 9, 2023 A speedway rider from Kings Lynn would often go out for a spin when he came a cropper it was good and proper and now he’s packed it in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Watching him at Sheffield i'm not convinced he has the motivation though. He bottled it into the first turn and was well off of the pace at the back in the 2 races he finished. Jason Edwards looked faster. We will see Thursday i guess 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rearingtogo 119 Posted April 9, 2023 Think the club should contact Topinka to see if he can recommend a good czech rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wobbled round for a few rides before winning his last programmed ride from absolutely nowhere at a canter… before running stone last again in heat 14. He’s a very complicated rider/person, that’s for sure but there is still potential there to be half decent. Edited April 9, 2023 by Najjer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think riders respect them more and the team managers know just how to get the best out of their riders. Lemon Bellevue, Stead Sheffield & Ipswich Louis & Hawkins. Peter Adams a notable exception to that rule - probably along with Middleditch, Rossiter and Boocock the most capable club team manager of the last 30 years. Don't think he was ever a rider. Rob Lyon and Stewart Dickson also not too shabby for non-riders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,784 Posted April 10, 2023 Everyone needs to start somewhere, perhaps best to give Aex Brady a bit longer than a season and a half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
