Jaizer 2,864 Posted May 11, 2023 Tough to call. Can we take advantage of scunnys new signings bedding in? Will anyone beat dougy? Can Marcin take to the EWR quickly. Mountain will likely score a hatful of points, but hoping our middle 3 will keep us within 6-10 for the 2nd leg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gmarsbar2 174 Posted May 11, 2023 Glasgow will probably lose, in a close meeting. Easiest thing to predict - 6 rides for Connor Mountain. Then probably 2 points between Max Clegg and Nathan Ablitt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beirao 202 Posted May 11, 2023 Might be wrong but feel Scunny will suit Marcin, a fast round track. Scorpions will be trying to match Ablitt with Pijper while Glasgow should be avoiding that. A battle of team managers. Who will win that? Scunny have a strong opening pair and are stronger at reserve too but Basso and Vissing should outscore their opposite numbers. Glad it's on BSN. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think southern based Ablitt will have done many laps round Scunny whereas Ace has. Not that it'll matter much as Mountain should clean up at reserve.

It makes sense that the two new signings also took the opportunity to get some laps in around the EWR at the same time-don't know if this actually happened?
