Bagpuss Posted May 8 Author Report Share Posted May 8 Cooper quite clearly got that move badly wrong and was incredibly lucky to not be disqualified, as were the other two lads to not break bones. But let's not go OTT, he is young and still learning and I'm sure somebody will have had a word, and he himself will have realised his error. I actually think watching it from behind that he veered further left than he intended, looking over his shoulder doesn’t mean he was trying to nail anybody. It was an error of judgement. Let's not use this as a stick to beat one of our young prospects too hard. Out of interest what are the rules regarding guests for Rising Stars? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ref guests for rising stars believe you have to pick an unattached one from the RS list. As this is the same problem Lynn had last year when Boughen decided to jack it in… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees2026 Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Best wishes to the two fallers. I was surprised they let Harrison up to walk away after that. I just wanted to say how disappointed I was with the Northampton presentation, nothing new or different just same old. This is an opportunity to take all the good stuff from all other clubs and make it something special, oh well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was quite comical the way in which Craig Saul was trying to work the crowd up before the meeting, there was zero energy, he's good in the box and conducting interviews, a hype man he is not! 😂 As somebody else mentioned, no victory parade, not even the riders doing a circuit on their bikes, very poor 👎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure on the actual ruling whether they have to be declared or can be used as guests but I do know they can only use riders not in another 1-7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is with Klindt, he could just as easily score you an 18 point maximum (Poole the night before), Batch is much less likely to do that, maybe Klindt at number 2 and replace Batch?

No disagreement from me but as ever who do you get in that will be any better given the general lack of interest from any semi decent rider upwards avoiding the UK.

The Cheese Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 (edited) First time I've seen Rushen and clearly an impressive talent but it's unbelievable he wasn't excluded from that incident. Obviously he wouldn't have been looking to cause a crash like that but it was a dangerous move. Hopefully Harrison and Scott have come away from that relatively well. On Northampton, early days but you would like them to be able to strengthen up somehow. Whilst the track is settling down it's perhaps understandable the racing won't be at its most entertaining so for any newbies you really need to have them winning at home. Without either it makes their task much more difficult. Edited May 8 by The Cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 A lot of people saying "once the track settles down"... with stock cars being run on it every week (are they running every week?) will it ever "settle down"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think stocks have a great deal of impact nowadays if you have access the the right equipment ie a blade, I'd say it's more to do with introducing more dirt as there was clearly more of that last night compared to last week. Will take a week or two to bed in, but nevertheless the experienced riders need to deal with it better than they did last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the riders said they've already managed to add more banking in the last week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinspeedway Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 New track, he's still young and has a lot to learn so I dont want to be too harsh on Rushen. He has a lot of talent and potential but obviously this was something to learn from. Wasn't this the same ref making dodgy decisions in the poole vs oxford match?
