Sam webster comes out they will get closer and closer as we mentioned before because essentially they uh you you’re going to get those who are meeting in the middle of qualification first played 24 second 20 it was up against 23 and and so on and so forth so as you get
Towards the end these battles are going to get closer this one’s going to be closer than maybe some of you would think because matches of poland seen him in six day racing and some good pairings up against uh new zealand’s sam webster both of them went very well mattis rudwick with a 9.493
It may well be a name that you’re not familiar with but we know a lot about him and he’s here now i think to shine brightly but sam webster is no pushover and uh webster himself a little bit earlier also setting up more than a decent time with a 9-7 question is
Has he got the what it takes to beat mattis rudyk in a more tactical environment it’s not just about your times on the flying 200 it’s how you race this and we’ve just seen it a few moments ago so this one could well prove to be a
Surprise i think the favorite of course does remain urgent he’s pacing up already and the threat levels are very very high for the new zealander sam webster no it’s there he settles into the drive right now head down as the bell comes still very much over concerned about where his man is he
Needs to hold his line right now because webster can’t go defensive anyway he may as well just get on with the task and here we come he’s going to get there but kiwi’s got him there you go it doesn’t necessarily transfer we’ve been telling you warning you sam webster rode a blinder
He really did 18th fastest qualifier beating the seventh fastest qualifier there so this is what we said this is what it’s all about sprinting is not just about that flying 200 time it’s a really good way of seating the riders but it is about racing in the moment on the track executing
Your plan and look at the power here from the rider from new zealand bridget just hasn’t got anything to give here down that home straight knows that he’s beaten wonderful flying all back delivering doing a superb job so the tactical element of this is so important but sam webster
Showed a lot of poise there as well he was constantly aware of what his man was doing and responded to it in a split second and that’s what counts yeah it’s that awareness of what’s going on around you it’s the reactions it’s the skills it’s an incredibly skillful
Event this event and it’s one of the events that gets people talking the most people always ask me questions about the tactics it is fascinating how they go so slow and then so fast and i always get asked why don’t they just go from the gum and of course occasionally we do see
That you
