Fozzie4388 679 Posted May 29, 2023 I posted on the Updates about bringing in a Handicap format for re-run's. The guy that was leading starts at the tapes. Person in 2nd starts 5 metres back, guy in 3rd 10 metres back. I always find it very harsh especially when a team is on a 5-1 that someone stays down. Could work well in the GP's also for example in the last one when Jack Holder basically had it in the bag before race was stopped. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUPERACE 440 Posted May 29, 2023 9 minutes ago, GregoryM said: Aces were on 5-1s in heat 2 and 6 that eventually ended as 3-3s due to the rerun and engine failure respectively. So Aces 'lost ' 4 points and Wolves 'gained ' 4 points in those heats. As it was 26-34 when Bewley came in as tac sub, the scores would have been level at 30-30. Yes that's true, but I was classing heat 2 as a 4-2 as that's what we were on before cook fell, but yes if cook had got up quicker then it was a 5-1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, see what you mean about your calculation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add this, and with Blodorn's absence as was mentioned earlier, then you could say that Belle Vue had quite a bit of 'bad luck' with today's match. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For some reason Eurosport would rather go to Monbore than a proper track Not sure if Mark Lemon or any of the Aces team come on here.. However, just in case they do.. Dont go wide on bend two.. Instead.. Go into bend one mid track and lock up sharpley... Then hit the apex of bend two, hugging the white line.. That way, no Wolves rider can pass under you... (Don't let anyone know I told you though as it is a big secret)..... Edited May 29, 2023 by mikebv 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MattB 177 Posted May 29, 2023 Just back from Manchester. Incredible meeting and a fantastic effort by all of our riders thought Zack Cook rode really well for just 3 points), but gutted we didn't hold on for the win. Missed opportunity 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,781 Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) I really don't like the phrase 'bottled', I always prefer to give credit to the team who fought back. What Wolves needed was their number one to step up in heats 13 & 15 to see the match out but he was unable to do so.
