Bash the Bookie SEC finals Competition 2021
Col replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
After last night this is looking unlikely, too late to edit? -
Chris Holder is at least looking competitive for Torun after his recent slump in form. Miedzinski held the lead for 2 laps then at least. If Lambert had clamped Janowski down on turns 1&2 might have been a different story. But Janowski is so fast might not have mattered. Afraid World Title looks a two Polish horse race on Ekstraliga form.

Didn't think crowd was particularly diminished compared to last week, a 100 down at most. All spectator areas seemed pretty busy - can't meander under current restrictions obviously.

Am I arguing about Harris' performance? No. He was however involved in the best race of the night, his battle with Cook in heat 13. I actually think Sedgeman was the best visiting Tiger, but Ostergaard deserves credit also Speaking of which, Riss has a long way to go before he earns the moniker "Electric"!
-
I stand corrected he wasn't in the Tigers septet that visited PB in 2019. Then explain the pootling around at the back in heat 14?
-
I can only base my opinion on what I see... Sam Jensen visited Perry Barr in 2019. Also saw him ride abjectly at Owlerton that year. Did you attend the meeting?
-
If you'd have watched him tonight, that's what he did. Pootled around at the back for two heats, no interest. Gated, won by a country mile in heat 8. Next heat win Ostergaard kept Brummies at bay. Missed start in heat 14, pootled around at the rear. Speedway doesn't need riders with Sam Jensen's attitude. Riss looked much better in his final 2 rides, looked as he did for Redcar last year, less impressive before that. Best I've seen Castagna ride, unlucky not to hold off Cook in heat 1. Don't think Shanes & Morris are doing much less than can be expected, they're 5 pointers, scoring 5 points! Morris fall was costly, admittedly but I'd rather a rider try to pass an opponent in front of them than pootle around behind. Highlight of the night was heat 13, Harris v Cook Heat 5 saw Morris & Shanes pass Nicol. Heat 8 Morris was far too kind to Jenkins after figuring a way past exiting turn 2, but allowed the guesting Bear the entirety of bends 3 & 4 outside run to repay the compliment. 15 decent, Riss v Ostergaard. Sadly Harris lost his invite to that party.

Good meeting, some good racing. Glasgow deserved to win, if your number one fails to win a heat any team would struggle.

Make it 4 out of 4! A gentle slide off, no issues.

Hope you're not a serial better!

Looks a world beater if he gates, completely disinterested if he doesn't.

No problem with track tonight. Mostly down to the tractors doing more laps than the riders to keep the dust in check
