You can look at scores any way you want.
I was at a wedding so wasn't there.
Peter got 5 the first match and 16 the second match.
Drew only dropped points when he had a retirement in the first match.
As I said, you can look at scoring any way you want.
Would you have said Drew wouldn't win a race apart from against the 2 reserves?
Can look at meetings any way you like.
Just looking at the 1st meeting program and updates for Saturday past.
Dan scored 8 and r/r scored 8.
Leon scored 5+1 and his rides scored 2+1
Craig scored 10 and r/r scored 7.
Ben scored 6 and Sam scored 6.
Looks like missing riders cancel each other out as Nagel not raced any away matches for Glasgow to judge his score on.
Would say it would still have been close with both teams at full strength.
Last week's pairs meeting was raced (with Poland one of the teams) against the polish championship round.
This week's meeting raced when there is a SEC round on.
Seems to be a lot of clashes with other meetings for them to be important.
Let's hope when he goes to armadale he doesn't hit the pot holes on the inside line (Scott Nicholls) or ride the bumpy track (Oscar Polis).
All tracks have their flaws (including Edinburgh).
What did Scotty say about the track when interviewed after heat 15?
What did Polis say about the track in the Evening news?
Maybe the track has some flaws the same as all other tracks.
If Kerr was going to pass him fairly, then surely Thomson would have shut off and stayed on for 3rd place.
Would that not have left Ipswich needing a 5-1 in the last heat to force a superheat?
Who then knows what would happen in 15 as possibly not the same 4 riders as selected.
I think Craig has done ok as well when he's been available.
It would be ok if he had only missed 2 meetings (with no rain offs etc). Unfortunately there will probably be another 2 or 3 meetings he would have missed if the Workington situation hadn't arrisen or the Edinburgh match wasnt rained off.
Thanks.
Didn't see the results, I was just going with the British team being 2 Glasgow and 2 Berwick riders.
Seen earlier in the week it was on that Saturday for the final.
Kyle Howarth said earlier in the season that he wasn't feeling the best but he didn't want a 7 day ban (missing for a non speedway injury) so he raced.
If others don't get a ban he now has this reason as an excuse to miss said meeting (as arnieg has already stated).
