Lions v Aces


Recommended Posts

I was going to come to this but after enduring Brummies v Tigers on Monday night I'm thinking twice about it, that was enough to put anyone off Speedway for a month!

Was going to go to Owlerton Sheffield v King’s Lynn but think this match might be the better of the two, weather looks great so hopefully Dickson and crew have got plenty water in the track to allow some good racing. Can see this going to Ht15 again

Why would he not be fit?

He came off in the GP on Saturday... went on to take his final 2 rides though to finish 2nd and said he'd definitely be at the next GP at Gorzow on Saturday.

I'd put Howarth at 2 & r/r at 4.

Don't think it's the best use of your top rider (Masters) getting an extra outing against Blodorn & Mulford when he's capable of beating all the opposition riders.

Mr Dickson said he didn't want to split the Howarth and Douglas partnership

And no reason why he wouldn’t be able to ride Thursday then.

Like Doyle didn't ride last Thursday then rode on Friday in GP.

But rode Monday despite clearly struggling. 
Odd to single out Doyle who always rides if possible,

At that point he hasn’t returned from injury though, same as Kurtz. But they both returned over the weekend and Doyle still tried on Monday, I guess your comment is flawed.

Eh? Kurtz picked up a new hand injury on Saturday did you see his interview afterwards? I've no idea if he will ride tomorrow, or Friday or Saturday. But if he doesn't ride tomorrow then rides on Friday then that is no different to what Doyle did last week.

Yes and Kurtz got up and rode two more heats. So he wasn’t unfit to ride was he. He might end up turning into a B.Cook if he pick and chooses what race to turn up to but always appears at the SGP. This is the problem with British speedway, no loyalty for the clubs. People can say “he needs to prioritise his SGP for his success and future” well do it then. And hopefully get dropped by the whole reason you’re even in the SGP…because clubs actually gave you a chance to learn your trade… so pay them back in loyalty!

I would say pure adrenaline would have got Kurtz through Saturday anyway.It's afterwards when the adrenaline subsides is when you seem to feel the pain.Just because he rode an extra 2 heats doesn't make him fit or else the same could be said about Doyle.
