The criticism of Speedway has always been that the first out the gate wins more often than not. It's the times where that doesn't happen that we all remember and that keeps us coming back for more. Well those of us who are left anyway!
I certainly won't defend BP, it's always been a poor shape, but unless someone has the money to rip it up and start again then we're stuck with it, like it or not, so riders/fans/management have to make the best of it.
With good prep and riders willing to attack it there can be good races. Unfortunately the latter two things don't always seem to go together and that was painfully obvious last night. Even SD alluded to it in his post match interview.
