But not the lights as well....

Ridiculous to have 3 Brits in the Semi, and the top 8..... Imagine if the UK could produce Speedway riders...?

Knew it would work.... Dan.....

Dan likes the Red gate... Not sure its ideal if he isnt leading into the first turn given he rides better wider.. Will take him two laps to get out wide... Lanbert might be the happier..

Majic... Could be a cracking last 3 races....

Indeed, out of control and not turning left... Got away with it. Anywhere else on the track apart from bend one and he would have gone...

What year?

It's a "new era"....

Dan still not quite "throwing it all in" on those tight corners.. Lambert doesnt get bullied quite the same Dan seems to do from time to time.. Hope it doesnt hold Dan back because he certainly is a unique talent.. A lot of Zmarzliks success is down to sheer bravado and for natural talent Dan isnt too far behind..

Bet you never copied what set up he was using...

Nor did anyone else after lap two...

I had already deducted Dan's 3 titles from my prediction....

No disrespect to the opposition standard currently, but he could do more than six titles... He would though be a "great" in any era...

Well I for one am shocked.. Unusual to see Bartek do that...

Ahhh! But there were changes BEFORE the 25% starting point fixture completion.... Or was there?..

"Christine" Harris - 2023 Champion.... Looking like Lesley from ITV's Benidorm.....

Supporters have already found other things to do... I would say approximately 20,000 of them since 2000 or so.... When circa 40,000 a week would attend, now it's around 20,000 tops I would say... Doesnt help itself in any way shape or form by its Mickey Mouse rules and administration... Nor does its self policing do it any favours... Then you add in all the adhoc call offs due to all sorts of wide and various reasons, which often make no sense to fans who often will also suspect 'other motives' given it isn't unusual to have 'strange occurrences' happen on nights when star riders may fail to turn up or get injured the night before elsewhere... It simply reaps what it sows.. Hence the harvest is poor year after year... When will the famine hit? I suppose is the big question...

The fans? Really? What a novel thought....

Tide in again?

Now you are talking.... But best dressed taxi given the crowd numbers nowadays maybe?

Correct .. Why would BV or any Div 1 track want to run a 2nd Division Championship? In years gone by you could maybe make a case for a Div 1 tracks' fans being interested due to the "novelty" of seeing riders that they ordinarily wouldnt watch... Hence the crowd level may be profitable with enough home team fans turning up.. However, nowadays. Every Div 1 track sees Div 2 Riders appearing there week in week out, so zero novelty and pretty much zero interest off the back of that I would suggest.. Running at a venue where the home crowd is usually good in number, and are at that level makes perfect sense...

100%.... But... When you are your own judge and jury it might not work..

Can't you dry out a wet phone by putting it in rice?... If so, maybe a few kilos of Basmati spread on the track might do the trick? Basmati could become the official designated rice to be used as laid down in the regulations, (and endorsed by an ex world champion), but there obviously will need some supplementary regs, re when a. "guest rice" could be used if the local supermarket didn't have enough Basmati to fully do the trick..... As you wouldn't want this type of scenario for example... "Tonight unfortunately Basmati rice cannot be here due to Tesco's running out, but instead we have fortunately managed to get some Long Grain arrive at the last minute. However tonights opponents are challenging whether the use of Long Grain is allowed given the extra length it has over the rice it is replacing, therefore there will be a delay whilst the referee inspects the rice and holds discussions with the two captains and managers"... Or Pasta? Could we use Twists maybe?.. Or Spirals if no Twists?... (Not Spaghetti, as too long and we would be in the same kind of Basmati/Long Grain controversy)... Or Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank? Monkey Tennis!!!!!!!? .

A 'trifling' matter I believe.....

It would miss Phil... Even at point blank range... Even by pressing the gun into the foot...
