  2. Having been looking forward to a Dad and his 2 lads weekend at the Grand Prix Round 2 in Warsaw we had brilliant day watching some excellent racing and the whole day went smoothly and as planned. Our flight home Sunday morning was an early one , we met and had photographs taken with Chris and Jack Holder , we met Jason Doyle and his pit crew all at the Airport which was a good start to our trip home. We had unallocated seats on the plane back to the UK and expected to be separated which was fine ….. the boys boarded as I followed on after only to go and find my youngest lad sitting next to the current leader , the one and only Jason Doyle with Simon Lambert sitting in front. As you can imagine my lad had the biggest cheesiest grin ever to be seen ! Both Jason and Simon chatted pretty much most of the flight home sharing stories and offering some banter. Jason also took a keen interest in my lads Kart racing and was more than willing to look at some photos and ask about the sport which made my lads days. To think Jason had been to work only a few hours before and come away winning the Grand Prix and still take time to talk and show interest in my lad is a day we will never forget. We now look forward to our next trip to watch Round 8 in Wroclaw only this time we’ll be joined by her indoors so I’m guessing they’ll be a bit of shopping and sight seeing involved !

  3. Brilliant from Plymouth - well done - best team to visit so far. Thomson and Sedgy winning the IRR rides shows Picko’s withdrawal made zero difference to the outcome. Reserve points - paid 19 vs 3 - says it all.

  4. What motivates people to always complain about call-offs? They all seem to be experts on track preparation (maybe they saw a video on youtube?). This time Chris Louis is wrong because he called off too early, last time he called off too late. Social media has a lot to answer for. It gives a platform for people sitting on their backsides to whinge about what is done by people that actually do things!

  5. That's terribly unlucky timing for the young chap, what with it being Norway Day.

  7. We are getting entertainment I've never enjoyed it more too be honest Yes we are weak at reserve But the biggest noise is when celina comes close or does pass someone It's not all about winning If you had zmarzlik and Lindgren as a pairing in your team it wouldn't be that entertaining as you would just expect them to win every heat

  11. But they covered Pickering's last two rides with two wins, so that can't really be blamed.

  15. It wasn’t called off incorrectly, and it wasn’t called off the day before the meeting. The issue people have had as you full well know is that Lynn called it off the day before the meeting when the forecast wasn’t all that bad. The forecast then looked worse on the morning of the meeting, if it had been called then, then nobody would have batted an eyelid.

  16. Those lineups sum up why the NDL has been reduced to a mockery. Nothing personal against Hutt but he simply lacks the ability to be either competitive or safe in a fixture of this level. The fact that Mudgeway has been quietly slid into the side in place of Mulford shows either cost cutting or more likely that Jake sees the NDL as nothing more than a nuisance. I feel for those who will end up paying good money for a very one sided match.

  17. Probably not as much as he likes to make out. He was quoted as saying he wanted Lee in the team - that hasn't aged well. Would think they all sit down - Michael Max and Alan Dick - and rough out a team which needs Peter Facennas blessing then the promoters negotiate terms.

  18. From the declared team the only one riding under their average is the one everyone expected to struggle at the start. Winning at home is what really matters in the first year, this side was predicted to take some hidings on the road and not many will come from Poole without it looking like a battering, Cook has been good for double figures all season and if he'd have hit the norm it wouldn't have looked so bad. Don't think there is a need to panic for Workington.

  20. Good to see riders passing on their knowledge to the younger guys. We seen Max Perry at Northside a few times last season and he never failed to impress, smashing little rider growing up fast, sure he will soon be scoring more points.

  21. How come you have not included there most consistant and as far as i can see, rapidly improving Tom Brennan. Who also deserves a wild card for the SEC

  22. A contentious decision but there aren’t many matches where there isn’t something that sparks debate. The proverbial ‘first bend bunching’ when a rider is knocked off. Different referees interpretation of when a rider is ready at the tapes to name but two. Bottom line is the match should have finished at heat 15, a draw. Super heat is plain silly. Mr Brown not doing himself any favours labouring the point.

  23. You have one aggregate point in the bag, won away from home at Plymouth so that aggregate point is pretty much secured, Celina will never drop below a 4 average so I think stick with what you've got wait until just before the 75% league completion and then bring in a four pointer if needed.

  30. i think you may have something there , thinking about it now . the long delay with the track work and the time it took to sort it out could have surpassed the pause on the VPN and came back on while the meeting was still in progress . . oh well , we live and learn, again . thanks

  31. I have to turn my VPN off so I can watch. If you have a VPN try turning it off and see if that helps.

  33. Is a 40-year-old really the best unattached 3.00 junior that Oxford can find? Same applies to the 35-year-old at No1 for Middlesbrough.

  35. It was against Sheffield. That night killed Keith Chapman’s enthusiasm for getting meetings on. I heard what he said to crowd and his comments subsequently to small groups of fans as they left. SCB launches inquiries at the drop of a hat but dodges tackling and finding solutions to the real issue of how to ensure racing when it is wet.

  41. All riders have this week been sent a memo showing how to adjust the position of the transponder. It no longer sits on top of the h frame at the top of the forks. it has to face downwards. How the hell did we get to May, at least 2 wrong results, one at Sheffield and one at Glasgow, and not know they are fitted wrong. There is even a pouch behind the fork covers, which is further forward than the h frame, but the memo does not say you cannot use the pouch. With the knowledge of the inconsistent fitting and the resulting false readings , surely the video evidence which is absolute, should be used and the results amended of the two matches affected.
