Robert Shines at Stoke
Posted 12/08/06

Robert Ksiezak shone tonight guesting for Stoke as the Potters beat Isle of Wight in the premier League by 53-39. Standing in for A grade reserve Barrie Evans, Robert scored a very impressive 10+3 from 5 rides made up of a race win, two paid wins, a second and a paid second.

He proved in heat 14 that it is not just Shane Parker he can team ride with when he rode an excellent race team riding with Robbie Kessler. His other paid win was more of a solo effort in heat 4 as his fellow Australian Mark Lemon chose not to go down the team riding route and left Robert to fend off Jason Bunyan on his own.

Many of those on the terraces felt Robert should have been given the nod fo rthe nominated heat, being Stoke's second top scorer at that point, but their promotion understandably chose to go with two of their own riders instead.

Stoke fans certainly left the meeting singing Roberts praises.
