Aces Vs Ipswich - 04.08.2008 ELB

[Deleted]

Aces line up as follows:

1. Ginger Genius
2. The Injured Pole R/R
3. The Cheddar
4. Billy The Kid
5. Fatboy Slim
6. Shitty Simmons
7. Max's Mate...Paddy

Interesting to note that this match completes Patricks 3 home and 3 away thingy for average whatsit'sname. If he outscores Forsberg then after 7 days Forsberg drops to reserve and Paddy goes into the main body of the team. Not bad for the Hougaard lad that and Billy will go where he should have been at the start of the season.

Any Ippo fans making the journey for this......or is that a silly question?

Think there may be one or two youngy.

Should think the Ippo team will be:

1 Mr R/R
2 Tobi
3 Jarek
4 Robert
5 Rory (G)
6 Johnno
7 Schrammy

No chance of a win here I'm afraid, with no Swidders and Tobi now in the 1-5, Johnno is nowhere near as good a reserve as Tobi.

Pretty crap meeting tonight. Track looked well prepared on arrival but with the sun beating down it was going to need constant watering...did it get any?......did it fuck. Not once during the whole meeting was the track watered. Crump got us off to a great start in heat 1 and set a new track record in the process. Second time this season he's done it and that's 3 seconds he's took off it since joining us in 2002.

How Schramm got up from his spill in heat 2 I will never know. Simmons clipped his back wheel which caused Schramm to give it lots of throttle and he smashed, and I mean smashed, into the air fence completely demolishing it.

Bizarre heat 15 too, read my post on the FOTW thread for that. Ippo battled well to only go down by 6.

Aces:
Crump - Exceptional bar heat 15
Gjedde - Not gating well but unbeatable when he did.
Forsberg - Up and down. Good when out in front, terrible when behind.
Screen - Shite in 3 of his rides yet looked World Class in the 2 he won. Wasn't even near Schramm to challenge in heat 4.
Simmons - Utter garbage. Alarmingly off the pace and not sure how much longer BV will stick by him
Hougaard - Slow start but got his gating boots on later in the meeting.

Witches:
Kroner - Struggled with machinery all night even when practising after the match.
Hampel - Up and Down. Seemed to be struggling getting round bends 3&4.
Miskowiak - Shite. Might as well have stayed at home.
Schlein - Inspired choice of guest. Gating really really well but never looked like passing anyone when behind.
Johnston - Better than late, I believe, from Johnno. Good team riding from him in heats 2 and 14 to protect Schramm.
Schramm - Rode well considering the spill he took in heat 2. Unlucky in heat 14 having EF on last lap when in second.
