JanAndersen 822 Posted April 28, 2023 Lots of stoppages tonight? I’ve been back home in Edinburgh for about 20 mins having seen 15 heats at Armadale! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Knudsen hit the metal fence in heat 2 and Piper had a horrible head-on impact with the air fence in heat 8. We've also had Greg Blair exchanging signals with the ref at one point (although the ref was in the right). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazc 7,105 Posted April 28, 2023 I have seen some fantastic races over the years at Ashfield but Heat 13 tonight has got to be one of the best I have witnessed. Basso again showing what a talent he is but an all round strong performance and well done to Tom on his full maximum. Couple of nasty crashes hope both Jonas and Ace aren’t badly hurt but both were down to rider error thought the track was excellent tonight with multiple lines. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaizer 2,865 Posted April 28, 2023 Heat 13 best heat I have seen for a very long time. Both sides at one point on 5-1s and could throw blanket over 3 riders at the finish. Track was grippy which made it one lineish but made up for it in heat 13. Both crashes unfortunately pilot error hope both riders aren't out for too long. TJ was very good and Blair got stuck in but rest of bandits were a bit disappointing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not "winner takes all" in the superheat, 2 points for a winning-draw and 1 point for a losing-draw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely IRR in heat 5, then T/S in heat 6 to replace Greg Blair would have been the best option. I thought the same thing, as Jorgensen had win his first ride, why give Flint the extra ride?

In terms of points awarded, you are right, but tonight was about topping the group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happened in the reverse fixture too, I think. Surely not nepotism? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
