Wow 2 passes in a whole meeting, absolutely mind blowing speedway. Berwick tactics from Redcar tonight 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cant keep being so long in the tail Reality bites, Workington can't afford just one of their 1-5 having an off day when they're carrying the reserves, need at least three race wins from them all every meeting to have a chance 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lisa-colette 6,050 Posted April 26 The Mulford pass on Craig Cook was good and also Batch with Wright in 13 and 15, were great races. A shame that King and Tate picked up injuries. Hopefully they won't be out for too long. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The racing early on was processional but there were some cracking races later on, the races between Wright and Bachelor were superb (thought Wright won Heat 13 from my position). To suggest that this was some underhand tactic from Redcar is quite frankly laughable and makes you look a bit daft. Bears still having no luck with injuries, although Kings absence was slightly levelled out by Zischke withdrawing too (hope both are ok) but the team rallied and Bailey and Knudsen gave Wright excellent support. Special mention to Mulford who was much improved. Better signs for the team. For the Comets that’s the best I’ve seen Batchelor ride in a long time and Vissing had a couple of good rides but Cook faded after a good start and the rest were inconsistent. Makes the second leg interesting at least. Edited April 26 by Yearbyred 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know he lacked some serious confidence last year and never looked like passing anyone and didn't look comfortable on the bends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea unfortunately our reserves are the week link, got to give them time, but the big question is how much time, but bigger question who maybe available to replace one of them? Imo Celina is on the pace if only she could gate better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imo Celina is on the pace if only she could gate better You're not gonna get a better 2.00 rider than McGurk, so Liebmann is the obvious rider to be replaced if Workington want to strengthen up.

CTD26 109 Posted April 27 (edited) All joking aside, like has already been said, we can’t be carrying a 1-5 rider and 2 reserves. I know this season is just about establishing ourselves back in the championship but I just don’t think Sam is quite ready for this league. You look at the form of Jack smith and think an opportunity has been missed there. Once his temp stint at Scunthorpe is over he’ll be snapped up rapid, probably by Glasgow. Onwards and upwards, can’t win them all, but how much time is going to be given before a change. Edited April 27 by CTD26 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
