" Lee Complin had 6 rides had a fall and problems with his steel shoe 7 rides in 14 races is extremely difficult" Lee Complin has the biggest balls and heart in that side, he rides with a f***ing trailing leg !!! So the shoe bit is beyond me, he just got two points in heat 11. I am convinced Lee would've ridden with his arm in a cast and a pair of flip flops if the side needed him. Either someone's made a mistake, or someone's been told to put Ace out. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaizer 2,879 Posted October 10, 2023 7 hours ago, Gazc said: His steel shoe could only manage 6 tonight. After all it’s a big ask for a steel shoe to do 7 rides in 14 heats. I'd have more respect if he come out and said was keeping Lee fresh in hope of a 5-1 in heat 14. But a steel shoe issue 3 heats (and an interval) earlier?

Jaizer 2,879 Posted October 10, 2023 What's more disappointing to me is flipping through the websites of the sun, daily rebel & herald see absolutely no mention of it. Sure be a tiny snippet somewhere in one of the written versions but another sad indictment of where our sport lies in this country. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheWellBehavedWorrall 301 Posted October 10, 2023 I’m laughing at it this morning, but that Joe Thompson did my nut in last night. He took out Pijper, but didn’t as much as acknowledge him as he passed him on his return to the pits. He the retired in heat six, but didn’t actually leave the track; he just casually leaned his bike on the inside of the back straight. He then chucked the towel in while in last in fourteen; something no young rider should do. Trivial this morning, but I was a bit like “what the f*ck?” last night. To be fair, I did tell four colleagues who I encouraged to attend last night that I thought Joe Thompson was highly regarded during the parade - I’d never seen him ride, but heard good things - so my observation wasn’t exactly justified by his performance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,408 Posted October 10, 2023 All these young” throttle jockeys” should watch Bomber entering the bends when chasing opposition,understeering to keep the speed up the swooping round he outside out of bend a true masterclass of throttle control and “balls”.Plus he is loving it.That was some display he gave last night.IMO 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He got third?? Or was that H12? lol Nope it was H11. Dear me. Only just over 12 hours ago and forgotten what has happened already!

Harris, especially in heats ten and fifteen, showed a hunger and ability beyond anything I saw all evening. He had Ben Cook, then Lawson and Worrall on toast. Then there’s Basso in heat fifteen; basically following Worrall with no actual attack strategy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thompson came last in heats five, six and fourteen; one was a retirement and in another, he threw in the towel. I don’t understand young riders who do this. Keep chasing; anything can happen. Who cares if you’re chasing what looks like a losing battle. Edited October 10, 2023 by TheWellBehavedWorrall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He also beat Tarasenko which he can be delighted about, but I just found a few things he did to be frustrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
