One would assume common sense would prevail and the rider on the warning would be excluded and the rider who touched the tapes would be allowed back in the re-run, but on a warning also.

Another reason to give a P45. The track wasn't looked after well enough despite looking alright to begin with. It's a huge shame because the lack of a professional track man is hampering the team performance and therefore the crowds.

Just checked, it's John Priest. P45 please!

Who's the track man at Birmingham? Every time management from Birmingham are interviewed they say the track isn't as expected. Surely they should consider sacking him and getting a professional in. Professional tracks should never see a blue groove - it's abysmal.

From what I read Freddie was one of the riders who protested the disqualification.

Have I missed something? Why are Kelvin and Scotty talking about Kemp's saddle so much?

Josh Pickering and Jason Crump were both stellar, but unfortunately Worral must either be very nervous or just not up to the task. Sam in the pits falling all over his words and Abbie hosting don't do much to bring the excitement up either. I feel Dave Rowe wouldn't work well with Kelv, he talks way too fast and he's better suited in the role he is in. Kelvin is literally carrying this show! His back must be killing him

looking at this I'm not surprised it was called off.

I believe it may be Dave Rowe, who posted on twitter earlier that he was in Croatia.

Whilst I agree we don't know the whole picture and yes some element of discrepancy can be forgiven, but like I said I've been paying keen attention to his gear for literally years and there doesn't seem to be any new gear being used.

I've been of the impression for several years that Auty rolls over his equipment from season to season without getting new bikes/gear. Judging by this season's photos of his equipment it seems that he is still using old gear. The bloke just clearly doesn't give two hoots about the sport and being professional and I'm surprised that it's taken this long for people to notice.

This is dangerous thinking. I'm assuming you've forgotten about David Nix, a young rider many years ago was suffering from concussion and was riding at conference league level for king's Lynn, he blacked out on track and died as a result. Riders should 100% not be allowed to ride with an existing concussion. It's just not worth the risk.

I'm a little ashamed to ask this but what's the deal with the sombreros and Belle Vue?

Track covers can actually do more harm than good. They'll essentially make the track "sweat" and bring all the underground moisture to the surface. Once the covers come off and the track is open to the elements, that water will make the top surface like glass. I understand people think that covers keep the rain off the track which they do, but the underground moisture is just a big an issue than rain water.

I did a training school with Olle (what was probably) 16/17 years ago at Kings Lynn as part of his 'sliding school' programme. Lovely bloke, very approachable and supremely knowledgeable. He had time for everyone attending and it was a very enjoyable weekend!
