May said in an interview last night that the track was set up different to stop the Pirates.. I don't know if it was tongue in cheek or he was serious.
Just read Klindt's shoulder popped out in the incident with Summers in HT 5 and popped back in down the next straight
He still carried on, winning his last ride, that's committed to the cause.
Flew back to Denmark Tues for treatment.
Apologies if its common knowledge, I didn't know.
When I was younger I didn't mind the odd DH. More time to drink/chat with the crew. No rush. Loads of races, riders not so self focused. Not ideal, but was ok. Wouldn't go now though..
So Worrall , Josh and Woryna twice wont be far out.Maybe a point or 2 less?
Don't get me wrong, i'd rather Klindt at Poole in the form he is in, but it's not such a big loss as I first thought before I looked who would take his rides.
These days the bikes are so fast that I think I would of researched tracks around 300-320m that have wide, sweeping banked bends with shorter straights. So riders ride it almost like a circle. Generating speed as the go..Fastest bike down the straight, not so big an advantage...Bit like a bigger Mildenhall if you like.
Skill as much as speed needed.
I though that regarding Klindt, as I posted earlier. But just had a look and Worrall, Josh and the reserves can take his rides. So Worrall, Josh and Woryna twice ain't to bad. I'd have Klindt down for 7 or 8 from 4.. Will probably get 6-7 if Josh continues his home form and score 2 or 3 from his ride.
Jackobsen is the least miss of the 2 for me. Klindt is the big one. He's going/trapping well and RR wont cover him. That said I still see Poole favourites for the win. But think the Robins will pick up a point due to Poole's weak team for this one.
While the Robins have had more heat wins they have had twice as many lasts.
All the BV riders doing their bit tonight.
Did notice the meetings running well. All done by 9.20 I reckon.
