  1. Three heat leaders of that level should be scoring a minimum 28 points off a collective 14 programmed rides (which includes Ht15 as most weeks 2 out of the 3 should be in it)..... And that is still "only", an 8 point average being achieved by each of them... You would realistically expect 30 or even more from those three, which then takes the pressure off the rest of the team, as 12 more points (just 3 each off the other four), gets you a bonus point away, and 16 more points (just 4 each off the rest), gets you three points at home.. Wrights performances this season should really be the "difference maker", rather than him just basically ending up delivering what one, or sometimes more, of the other three, are failing to do..
  2. And to benchmark yourself you really need to be in Poland and/or Sweden.. Years ago when the best were over here you could do the same, so it was another advantage to riding here... As we can see, not many seem to miss riding over here anymore... And, to be fair, the intensity level of leagues over here, where you share riders on any given night, cannot be the same as riding in leagues which offer big financial rewards and publicity, and you are tied to one team with a tribal, fervent following..
  3. It was to give each of the Premiership teams another meeting... Wolves in particular were a club that felt they needed more bona fide meetings as only ten top league home meetings were not enough... Edit. I forgot about the League Cup.. (Which probably says a lot)....
  4. To be fair to Bomber... He probably didnt overtake some riders as he must have been a bit confused as to who his team mate on the night actually was....
  5. It wasnt so much that he got passed, but how he got passed so easily.. Up the inside, leaving a huge gap to come through with seemingly no thought to move over to the kerb, even though he had plenty of room to do so, which would have blocked the run of the rider(s) behind... Until he was behind that is, whereby he then rode the inside line for the rest of the race.. Reading the Ipswich thread it seems quite a common occurrence this season, ie chasing dirt that isnt there and getting passed up the inside.... Lost probably 8 points or so I would say from being passed whilst in "good" positions...
  6. It will be "interesting" to see how the Pairs change through the season.. Any one of the top four it said tonight can be the Pair....
  7. Overall... Stream good, shame about the missing races... Commentators also good... (Mpt/Bomber apart)... Racing pretty average... No crowd noise coming through the TV... Was that because there isnt much of a crowd there? Or there was a crowd and they didnt make much noise? Or was it how the production of the stream was? Would I book again? Probably not given the tracks they will be going to, and I will probably go to the NSS round..
  8. Lawson slowing the race down and was looking for Ellis... Dont think Adam too impressed...
  9. Has it finished Ian... I am still on heat four......
  10. Brady and Max not looking too disappointed....
  11. King 2 points... Must have lost 8 at least from the positions he had at bend two, lap one...
  12. Is it the same deal as a rain off or medical cover issue when you pay to watch at the track..? If it is... We may end up owing them more money....
  13. Danny King does like an outside line doesn't he?....
  14. Olly Allen said that with the weather threat he would keep his RS ride till the final round of races... So if it doesnt go past Ht 12 you would have used your best two riders all the time... Mark Lemon had a better idea....
  15. Great ride by MPT.... Or was it Bomber?...
  16. Many there? From the camera angles it doesnt seem to have quite captured the imagination of too many... Stream is good... Presenters good too...
  17. Cheers, just got to the back end of it...
  18. Just booked the stream... Who is missing for Wolves?
