Belle Vue v Leicester Monday 19th May Live on TV


Recommended Posts

Some decent stuff on track tonight, result was never in doubt though... the big 3 all won tonight more or less taking them out of sight.

Can't get enough heat advantages, that's where we lack the power afforded to Ipswich, Sheffield and BV in 13 and 15 and why we're always the bridesmaids when it counts.

With the saddest thing being that all this was crystal clear before a wheel was turned...

The Birmingham riders will earn a good few quid guesting for Leicester, Oxford and KL I would think, as I am not sure they would want a rider from a potential play off rival to help them out.....:D

Some really enjoyable heats last night - the pick for me was actually Kyle Howart keeping Kurtz in 4th in heat 10 a really good intelligent ride. Credit Leicester they gave it a go in the end as expected BV just too strong at home.

Why park the presenters podium and line marking equipment ahead of the starting pole cushion on the inside? A rider would clatter that lot without protection before reaching the cushion if worst came to worst. Wouldn’t it be better to go behind the pole on the first bend side?

In that ride I think Kurtz must have been testing a setup as he rode round the kerb for all 4 laps, he never does that so think he was testing a setup for riding inside.

regardless it wa s still a decent ride by Howarth as he had Kurtz up his inside and almost through on more than one occasion!

Kurtz simply couldn't get outside for the first two laps due to having two Lions between him and the fence...

He then decided that he was never going to get out there in time to build up enough momentum to pass them in the two laps left, so stayed inside, running closer to the kerb to find that extra bit of grip the NSS has down there..

Nearly worked too...
