Neila Posted Sunday at 10:19 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 10:19 AM In my opinion he was on the pace in the Peter craven at belle Vue, but outclassed by the top guys, but last nite looked poor could not gate, maybe did not want to risk it on a greasy track ?

topaz325 Posted Sunday at 10:41 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 10:41 AM About 15-20 Comets fans present at last nights Ben Fund meeting at Glasgow, Stoney made an appearance promoting his "Skinflint Rally " challenge in aid of the Ben Fund. Basically Stoney and co driver (ex mechanic) have sourced a car for under £500 and have to drive to Nice completing challenges along the way. The Rally takes place in September and a just giving page is to be set up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tate was Interviewed on BSN after the spill involving Kyle Howarth. He said he had changed bikes in that heat which was his 4th ride because his first bike was apparently too powerful and not driving forward off the line. Something certainly wasn't right because his starts were woeful. He got away much better in his 4th ride and was unlucky to be excluded when Kyle Howarth appeared to almost perform a right angle turn on the first corner to give him nowhere to go when he was a close second. He said he was looking for a better result in his final ride but didn't make a good start and then lost some control of the the bike going wide on turn 2 which appeared to finish his race really. After watching him underperform in the Aussie Champs on BSN I admit to being slightly concerned that we may once again not see the 2024 Tate in 2026. Hopefully we will and that will do his confidence a world of good for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H20 Posted yesterday at 02:43 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:43 PM I think Tate is one of them confidance riders but with injuries and getting constantly beat up rising for Belle Vue this knocks his form and with Belle Vue can see that continuing this season also unfortunately. Should have just stuck to the championship for a while building his confidance up. On a side note has anyone seen Craig Cook on a speedway bike since he signed ? Seen hin on a mountain bike and a motorcross bike but not a speedway one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig is a type of rider who in the past had done only a little bit of practice, bit like batch 😀 hearing Craig has lost a bit of weight, so good to go, will be fighting Jonas for the number 1 position 😀 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksman Posted yesterday at 07:02 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:02 PM Tate flew out of the start in heat 2 and won easily at BV tonight, think he will do alright at reserve because the Premiership reserves are weaker than last season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top performance from Tate tonight ! Best in BV colours to my knowledge good to see we all know he’s got the talent . 7 hours ago, H20 said: I think Tate is one of them confidance riders but with injuries and getting constantly beat up rising for Belle Vue this knocks his form and with Belle Vue can see that continuing this season also unfortunately.

Can’t wait for the season to start now . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viv Muddle has just turned 16, so he'll be looking to join the other teenage Aussie prospects here, or in Europe like Beau Bailey Has he got UK partiality -- l don't think he's got a State Title qualification for a visa?
