I think this works both ways, barker would never ride for Poole, middlo or with Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he is definitely going much better now and unlucky at Plymouth, I said the other day it was strange Zach was going much better for Belle Vue but not tonight.

I still think Zac rides different machinery for BV than he does for Poole. Mind you he did manage that fastest race time around Wimborne Rd this year recently, that was a bit out of the blue. Does that mean he has machinery that you could be using come the sharp end? or am I just dreaming? I wasn't a fan to begin with but Kerr is now critical to future Pirates success this season.

Well apart from Lawson and Cairns they have all had a up and down season, maybe niggling injuries, I know Anders did but rode well tonight, Zach has been riding better for Belle Vue but not tonight, he is now a big worry. Kerr was very good tonight so that is good, even Toby has not been that good lately although pretty good at Plymouth. Hopefully they can all click on the same night in the play offs. Glasgow look like its theirs to lose right now, Leon was very good tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitza Posted Tuesday at 08:03 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:03 AM OK so it's ultimately the riders who have to go out and perform I get that, but surely Middleditch has to shoulder some responsibility for how the team "go" too. From the outside Speedway seems set up as "all turn up on the night and see how it goes". When do riders get to practice, trial set ups/equipment, and do team managers do more than decide who rides when, or do they help people manage as well. IMO a bit of team managing could go a long way towards sorting individual riders issues and to delivering better team performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach lodges at Middlo's, as does his brother still, and they are all in their own WhatsApp group. Unfortunately it seems not all the riders like the same track prep and once in gets in your head it can affect your performances and your set-ups- especially if riders are carrying niggling injuries as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitza Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) Well something seems to have changed with the Pirates last night in the BSN semi at Wimborne Road. Maybe Middleditch reads this forum and decided to do some managing (I don't actually think this is true) . The track looked a bit different too, I thought it had a more uniform and finer surface. Racing wasn't particularly fast and there wasn't a lot of overtaking. But it's results we need now. So whatever has changed gave a very good result, long may it continue. Good to see riders realising their potential. Special shout out for Tobias who over achieved, great racing.

Knock-out speedway has different mind-sets to league racing, especially after the Ford's and Middlo got them all together and agreed the track prep needed to.be different. And it was, as well as riders not worrying about their averages for 2026 team building!!😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveArena Posted 24 minutes ago Report Share Posted 24 minutes ago He used to read this forum as he got all stroppy years ago when he was Team GB manager. Fans called for his head as we were crap for years when he was GB manager and he came on here and threw a paddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
