Or is it one season too many for the ageing Bomber? Maybe Bomber is on “average watch” this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelShoe Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago Close meeting throughout with never more than 6 points between the teams . Comets managed to take it to a last heat decider. I was hopeful going into heat 15 only 2 behind with Cookie and Jonas coming out that we could get something from the meeting. Unfortunately we missed the gate in the rerun and with Flint and Howarth on the outside line we were never able to challenge. Well done the Tigers. There were some positives notably Cookie showed that he still has great bike control. The pass on Bomber coming off turn 2 in heat 10 was top drawer. Young Max done great in winning the duals with Sam Hagon subsequent to heat 2. Tate gave a strong performance, it was good to see his confidence continue to return and the fact that he wasn't phased going out into the dirt. For the second week running I find myself critical of ref Graeme Hunter. Heat 5 the tapes appeared to rise faster on the infield side, Flint shot away and we were expecting the red lights as we thought it was an unsatisfactory start, they never came. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was on average watch why did he pass Mario in heat 1 when he had no chance of winning the race. He would have got paid the same with a bonus point and could have also advised Mario after the race where he was going wrong, having followed him around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rearingtogo Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago Think Bomber is gradually on his way down from this season onwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago Should the Ref not re-run Heat 5.As it says in the rules that they can use Video evidence when available.It was obvious the tapes rose quicker on the inside plus there had been trouble with them earlier.

I don't really like it either but I think the thought process was to spread the limited number ones around each team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely he should have. He made even bigger mares reffing the Worky v Plymouth meeting, All his decisions penalised Worky , the ones against Plymouth without doubt cost the Comets the two points.

Not sure why as Harris passed Hausl and was a fair distance ahead of him at the finish. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
