Typical Kemp, did that when he rode for Poole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaizer 2,913 Posted March 31 Berwick can be as alien to a new rider as armadale is, remember nowak and Sam Jensen struggling badly on their first meetings there but improved drastically on next appearance. You'd think if cookie hadn't pulled out would've been nearer the 52-38. Hopefully just a precaution and he's fit for the competitive stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Used to, but I think they removed that restriction. Not sure though - think my season ticket would be cancelled if I bought an Edinburgh stream! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The narrow straights make it very tricky if you're not familiar with it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Completely agree, there was no issues with the track IMO, in fact given the track has been re-laid over the winter it looked and seemed to ride very well. But its very easy to lose a meeting and blame the track, it was the same for both teams. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There’s nothing wrong with the track don’t know all the rubbish about it being rough is coming from,riders didn’t have any problems.Freddie Hodder and Borge were passing no problems 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
