I think Rew was cut a bit of slack first half of the season after coming back from a pre season injury and riding fresh tracks he hadn't seen before, he doesn't really have any excuse for his poor scores now tbf, he's generally been very disappointing.

I'm not sure if Boughen can ride in top league as a RS, i saw on another thread he'll be assessed as a 2 pointer which only allows him to ride in Championship, don't think you can ride in the top league unless your a 3 pointer or higher, that's what i read anyway.

Emil does the same as you say but you don't hear him being called Polish, just poor all round like the camera work most of the while.

Nearly as bad as that women calling Vadim Polish 2 or 3 times, beat me to it Baldy.

Cheers

Any links to scorecard for this meeting.

Laguta is the same as a lot of the Poles who come over here, their brought up on big fast tracks that need no real skill or throttle control, just twist it wide open and hang on, him and Emil are certainly chalk and cheese.

That's what is says on Lynn Facebook page.

Lambert in Laguta out

Tbf to Barker who has had various issues in the past and comes with plenty of baggage no one can fault him for effort, you won't catch him wimping out off a tight first bend or moaning about track conditions, he just gets on with it and puts in 100%.

Lucky that Rory S was injured coz he wouldn't of put a shift in like Barker, Harris, Lambert and a few others did, just show's what can be done if ya got big enough balls and not afraid to attack the track.

He certainly looks a fine prospect but time will tell, we've all seen and heard about plenty of boy wonder's at 15/16 who sadly amount to nowt after a few yrs.

Yeah the highlights is poor at best, just glad ive got Discovery+sports so can watch the GP's if they ain't on Eurosports

Exactly this, Bart will have it his own way for a good few yrs i think tbf, there's plenty of riders in the series that can take points off him now and again but can't do it regularly, plus 9 times outta 10 he'll deliver when it matters at the business end of a GP when others fail.

Lol yeah true, people can see for themselves later coz im sure it's on Eurosport 6pm-7pm highlights.

That pic was from semi final 2, Bewley, Doyle, Vaculik and Woffenden.

Any updates on Thomsen's injuries today?

I dunno anyone apart from Bailey who's already been mentioned who were a better option besides Rowe, Gilkes and Kemp, i suppose there's Jenkins, Edwards and Flint if they were still in the age bracket, but would any of them performed any better.

Haps he was trying to stay out the deepest part of the rut so didn't grind out like Doyle did off gate 4, i didn't even know them ruts were that deep and they could grind out as Kelv only mentioned it about 20 times

Like been said it probably ain't cheap getting yourself plus bikes/mechanic over to Latvia and no doubt the point money or possibly prize money available also ain't great, big outlay for some of the young riders i'd of thought.

Yeah i seem to recall it was shorter back in the day and didn't run as far outta the corner and on to the back straight

Lawson for Laguta would save Chapman a few more quidand Laguta wouldn't be missed after the his score and effort he put in last night.

Rather embarrassing to finish plum last, yeah fully expected the Poles to run away with it but thought the Brits would be up there fighting for at least 3rd with Denmark or Australia or finish 4th at worst, can't even out score Latvia

It reminded me a bit of the crash that Mark Loram had which finished his career when Simota left Mark with nowhere to go along the back straight, it may of been a few feet further along the back straight but was still a terrible accident.

Or haps try and tempt Dimitri Berge back to slot in for Kerr or Howarth depending on his current average.
