Darcy Showing What A Pro He Is Again
2ndbendbeerhut replied to speedibee's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
As it Looks like his conviction will not be 'spent' , it will have to be mentioned on arrival to both UK and nz and may be refused.something that will not be known until he arrives. -
Moto gp and superbike are making parts that are standard eg ECU's and moto 2 even has standard engines that I believe are serviced by a central tuner and then given back by lottery. Look where that has got the sport, but speedway just can't see it! :'(

Can't see any change in Proctor's or Reade's ave but the rest should/could all put a point on theirs. Since the start of 2012 the 4 PL starters from that year have lost 4.16 off their averages, Lemon (1.81), Gathercole (0.51), Schramm (1.37), Kurtz (0.47). If they can get back to where they were the Devils have a great chance for the play offs.

Who's Still Available?

Im sure that he has signed for Pila in Poland. -
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv There should be a phased eradication of the current system. Over the next say 5 years all riders could become free agents. Loan fees could be set at 20% of an agreed transfer price set centrally to allow clubs to get value from their investment where a fee has been paid to date. Where a rider has not represented their parent club for 5 years he autimatically becomes a free agent . Where a current asset has never raced for his parent club he would become a free agent immediately. Im sure there would need to be further considerations but I think these points could form the basis to a constuctive way forward.

Looks like promotions are using their own riders or doing swap deals rather than loans. Seems as though a lot of Peterborough's assets are being over looked for some reason. Could certainly make a decent side with them alone. -
Dakota North.....?

Would have to agree that if north, Poole or tressarieu had been ipswich assets then they would have been used by them. All 3 could do a good job in the el at reserve but will they ride enough? North was moaning this year that he wasn't riding on a regular basis. -
Don't get me wrong, 9+2 away from home is a great score but he didn't have to do much for his points though, take a look. Heat 02: Tresarrieu, Newman, Nielsen, Kerr Beat 2 NL riders inc team mate Heat 04: Tungate, Newman, Vissing, Nielsen Beat NL rider and Team-mate Vissing (Vissing's only time he beat an opponent) Heat 08: Risager, Davies, Newman, Tresarrieu Beat Tress Heat 10: Lanham, Risager, Monberg, Newman Heat 12: Poole, Newman, Monberg, Nielsen X 3 riders only after NL Nielsen excluded, beat Team mate Heat 14: Newman, North, Tresarrieu, Wright Superb gate to effectively win the Rebels the meeting. I've always said that for riders to do their jobs the rider in Red has to beat White, Blue has to beat Yellow. So Newman did his job 5 times to 1, and thats 4 points gained, he also beat "red" in last heat so thats an extra 2. Job done! Rebels win. Couls also say the same of Vissing, his 3 points were 3 more than Ipswich got, but he only beat team mate on wrong side of a 5-1 twice and then Nielsen. Swings and roundabouts!

Witches left themselves with too much to do after the first leg but nearly did it, nearly seems a fitting word for the Witches! Also it was the 3rd time a Somerset number 1 has scored a maximum at Foxhall this year, Bach and Barker have also got full houses on their travels. The Witches didn't start great but upped the pace in the mid part of the meeting all for it to die out after Vissing's move in heat 13. Crowd had got behind the boys after Poole's pass in heat 12 but then all the momentum was lost with the interval after the heat, then came Vissing's match winning move. Wiped out both Witches going into the 3rd bend, rightly excluded but damage was done,Tungate and Lanham clearly struggling in the rerun. Heat 14 saw game over as Newman who hadn't done to much until then, he had beaten a team mate and Nielsen 3 times, and Tress once, outgated a under performing North( best bikes on way to Argentina maybe?) and Tress. Witches riders not for the first time this season failed to show the trackcraft needed to pass. Over the past couple of months the track has been riding like 2 very different tracks, bend 1/2 tight line needed, 3/4 its the outside blast, unfortunatley this seems to be unseen by the riders and management themselves. The away riders seem to know though! Another pattern seems to be that the away team adapt to the track conditions, where as the Witches are scratching their heads, not just individuals but as a whole! Lanham, Risager, Tungate and Poole did well tonight, looked their old selves. North and Tress were below par, Nielsen is struggling with fitness possibly, maybe Jacobs in on saturday would be a good option? Somerset did the job needed but more as Ipswich failed to do theirs over the 2 legs. Oh well on to saturday, and a similar score will be needed to take to Newcastle, at least tacticals will not be available which is right when the score is over 2 meetings It was lacking atmosphere to start with, and wasn't until mid meeting when the Witches started to get back into it that the crowd got vocal.

Should be £15 for tonight but only £10 for sat by showing ticket from tonight. More people would have gone to both that way. Need a good start tonight and no silly mistakes. Hope Nielsen OK from last nights fall, perry should be missing, but no news on replacement yet..... lewis Kerr has be named :-)
