Mr Blobby Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 14 minutes ago, Fromafar said: Don’t get Alex Harkness comments about the Berwick track being” demanding” times were decent ,riders didn’t look to be having difficulties another case of “spoonful of dirt”.Sedgman done 64.9 in heat 1.,obviously his wrist injury is a cause for concern like he intimated,doesn’t bode well for the season if it is not 100%. Demanding due to the size and roughness of it. Track was better than last week again Glasgow, I know they did a good bit of work on it to try and sort it.

Gambo95 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Will watch the replay when I'm back home. Haven't seen a home team win this season yet (Belle Vue, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Berwick have all lost at home and Workington didn't win the pairs also. Also a good reason to have the pairs and riders championship later in the season to see how riders are going during the season (Polis for Edinburgh as an example). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast times dont always mean a good track. Watching on BSN a lot of riders were getting an uncomfortable ride on both bends with the bikes lurching all over the place through ruts and bumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berwick has always been a fast track and difficult to pass.It not a slick this season as it has been in previous years.May be it will create bit of home track advantage. ps Never saw the class riders lurching all over the place that you did. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very bumpy, you could see going into the corners the bike jumping even Drew was talking about riding the bike almost like a motocross bike. Class riders are class for a reason they'll take advantage and ride it out. Bumps aren't always bad but they did look quite big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep most tracks seem very similarly prepared from what I've seen this season thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't, if you replaced 6.5 & 2.0 riders, with a 4.5 & 4.0, then Palovaara is no longer a reserve. Maybe if there was a 5.1 & 3.3 option, it'd work out? Not that I would drop Kye anyway, far too early in the season to choose to drop someone imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My choice would be to find a new 2 pointer & keep a strong reserve all season. Should be looking to re-arrange the KOC ties ASAP, while Palovaara is still at reserve imo.

It was interesting that Drew wasn’t bothered about track conditions,he was just saying with his Motocross experience he was able to ride it with throttle control.Too many riders nowadays are just “ throttle jockeys” these days and not got a lot of bike control when track conditions vary.IMO.
