Cue Ball

Started the season with one big hitter and ending it with a team of 6 and 7 pointers. Interesting to see how we get on in the play offs. Glad to see Andre back

The video replays clearly showed that there was no contact between the 2

Josh didn't go anywhere near him. He chose his moment and made a spot on overtake / undertake. Think it took Branford by surprise and he lost control for a moment which sent him towards the fence, no fault of Josh whatsoever

Impressed with Zach in heat 2. Put under a lot of pressure but didn't give in and held his line well despite having a slower bike than Clegg and Branford. Off the pace in his other 2 rides, but a very tidy rider who looks like he could do well in the future. Was surprised at the result to be honest, it was nip and tuck early on but we seemed to have a purple patch mid meeting that saw us home with relative ease. Cracking ride by Bates to come from the back to beat Sedgmen, unfortunately to be followed by his pantomime act with/at Bellego.

From what I've seen this year, I struggle to see past Kurtz for the win.

Happy with Klindt. Will do ok for us I would imagine

Klimt - happy with that

Gutted for him - do we know what happened? I was stood on the 4th bend at the time, but couldn't really work out what happened as I was more or less head on to it

Thanks

Any news on Ben Wilson after tonight's crash?

I wouldn't mind people having a pop at clubs signing riders from abroad if there were any British riders that were worth signing instead. Personally prefer to have a punt on a foreign rider than sign somebody just on the basis of their nationality regardless of whether they have talent or not.

A lot of good riders who have done hundreds more laps of Owlerton than Paco have put themselves into that fence, let's not be too harsh on the lad just yet

Given the amount of kickings the Monarchs have given you over the past few years, surprised that you want to ride against them at all 😛

Must have missed Lawson's move, didn't see anything untoward personally. Different perspectives from different places in the stadium I suppose. On paper Jorgy was a let down, but he raced his arse off and just kept missing out. Heat 14 was a contender for race of the season, 2 races in one, close and fair... Roper speedway as Kelvin would say

At least the statement admits that it's probably not a bad thing as it would be a baptism of fire. Don't imagine that we are running scared... But why wouldn't we want to track a competitive team in an important fixture?

Heard a rumour that Andre has broken both wrists 😔

It ain't going to be Armando 😊

Berwick's team this evening is not conducive to good racing. Hall on 1 after 4 rides says a lot

Is there no entry for 'Sheffield No.1 (guest)'?!?

Agreed, just remembered seeing somewhere that he was riding over there and wondered if he was and if so how he is doing. Sounds like they have spoken to several riders, so obviously the promotion have come up with some names where we can't!

What's Albin up to nowadays? Was he riding in Poland did I read somewhere?

Gutted for Ash, can't even think of anybody that you would contemplate using - unless Pepe Franc would fit?

I'm not feeling much love on this thread 😍

He was there and changed, but left before he did any laps

The score flattered Worky - 2 punctures for Sheffield riders, one of which gifted Bach 4 points instead of 1 and both of which gifted Wethers 2 of his 3 points, and also bike problems for Bellego in another probably gave them at least a point. Wells and to an extent Hansen aside, the whole team looked a bit pants - Harrison, Wethers and Barrett were pretty woeful. Some great rides by Kurtz, Compton and Bates. Birks looked like the medics were trying to attend him in the pits for summats or other, Sissis was unlucky to pick up a puncture and was there or thereabouts, Bellego rode hard and clearly had problems in one race, Garrity did what we have come to expect. Workyboy - you would have been disappointed by the overtaking...
