I remember the Ferrari F1 driver Michele Alboreto. Other cross gender names include Vivian, Shirley, Marion and Sydney.

TTT Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Sheffield have got a huge problem with Etheridge. He's riding like an out of depth Rising Star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 It's a strange one how Leon Flint can elect to do an SEC qualifier missing his Glasgow Cup match at Plymouth and receive no ban but "injured" riders cop a ban 🤔🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manifesto Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Sheffield reserves very poor Lynn reserves very good. Not much else to say really! can’t work out if either team are good or poor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He topped the league averages in the UK comfortably last season, enough said. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn isn't an easy place to set your bike up for, we've seen that many times in the past. Jan is really struggling with engines set ups and now confidence, hopefully he can get that sorted soon. Bomber was absolutely vintage and his ride in heat 15 was a thing of beauty. But the main story is the reserves, they came of age this evening. So much speed and potential and tonight points too. And there is so much more to come. A very satisfying night for Lynn fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanoXtra Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Just came here to mention the “told you so” moment about cooper, he will perform this season and he can roll with the big boys now and then. People who wrote him off might wake up now. He is better than Cairns IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who felt it was unfair to drop him in the deep end of Premiership racing as it was detrimental to his development need not fear. He’s going to make a mockery of those thoughts. He is the absolute real deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite agree, I see these lads as a pairing and they have been equally impressive so far, very different styles but both so quick for their age and experience. Jody's ride in heat 4 was so mature and Cooper took responsibility in heat 14 to ensure at least a draw. As exciting as Fricke & Harris are another top end these two youngsters are the highlight so far for me and they have improved so much already in just a month. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castagna's name is Michele Paco Castagna - and he prefers to be known as Paco. PS: Believe it or not, a lot of our (English) name spellings are derived from original Latin or Hebrew.

ouch Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Much better off the start than the Ipswich meetings when he failed to beat an opponent. He was better against Northampton and great last night. I like his analysis of what needs to be done and the fact he implements it. I use to love his races over four laps with some spectacular last bend lunges. I’ll miss those but the positive is a Brit piling up the points from the start, a real modern day speedway rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castagna clearly needs/wants to ride in the Italian Championship rounds (sponsorship, Nations pride, etc.), and he clearly wasn't injured enough to prevent him scoring 14 points and finish second overall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
