Complin really is rubbish these days isnt he

Broken finger !!!!

I remember watching Kenny Carter being carried out of, and back into the pits with a broken leg at Oxford in a qualifier for the British Final, and it was pretty much drizzle all day and throughout the meeting.

Mind you his leg was only broken in 4 places.

Not a great meeting for us but I thought that 16 down was a big ask to pull back but hats off for the track staff for producing a racing track with no dust after 4 days of sun 

No dust but the track was so deep to the extent only Harris and Vissing for the home team could ride it early on. Did the riders really ask for it this way or did we do this by design to put off Redcar and it backfired?

Novak was uninterested after ht1, Pijper came down heavily in ht2 and struggled until it slickened off in later heats, as did most of the team whilst getting a gating lesson from Redcar. From the outside looking in it doesnt look like we gave ourselves the greatest opportunity to win the meeting. The tie was already gone.

To be honest, not the worst match to lose give to he state of the tie, but all the boys got beaten in races they shouldn’t tonight. Some credit to Redcar, especially Charles, but the Tigers looked like they didn’t have the starts, the setups or the stomach tonight. 6 point loss flattered them - Redcar were better than that.

Yeah, great track tonight. There was racing in it for those who were up for it. 16 passes I think.

And that was the problem not many off the home team were up for it.

Obviously certain members of the team hadn’t bothered to read Tom’s comments about hitting them early.

That's a terrible quote by the way as you should never call a rider rubbish as they risk there lives when they go out on track ,,,, aA more constructive phrase like ( I think Lee complin needs to take a step back from this league & enjoy his racing at national League level & rebuild to the form he's had in the past to compete in the championship ) do you agree or not

I think the track conditions today would have been perfect for him 10 years ago.

Unfortunately with such a long time out I feel the sport has passed him by, as he seems off the pace. Maybe it is his equipment or the muscle he carries but something is just not clicking for him.

Yep the bulk cannot logically be helping but...... we have seen him very much more competitive at home than he was last night.

Yeah and Kenny Carter turned out to be completely mentally stable...

Sometimes you just have to accept you were beat by a better team on the night . Redcar were excellent and thoroughly deserved the win . Good luck in the rest of the competition

No i think it was pretty accurate but cheers… not up to Championship standard and cant see a time he is again.. was brought in to protect a younger reserve rider and will be well overtaken by him
