Crowd looks a bit healthier than last night but no doubt a few locals put off by Bart's capitulation. Here's hoping for a better prepared racing surface, won't hold my breath though.

Thank you for taking the trouble to do that, appreciated. So Artem would still be in control and that's fair enough as he's been the best on show all season. Maybe Woofy would be eyeing up a bronze medal if Emil was to have a bad night but other than that, not much difference. Thanks again.

Definitely, I would be interested in what the respective positions would be if we were still using that system this season, might well be similar but I'd still prefer it.

Oh shut up you clown, get to bed.

If Rob Lambert can have a good night tomorrow he could overhaul Jason Doyle, won't do his chances any harm for a slot next season.

He's trying to play us, fella's a dope.

You ask that now, he's been winning all series and it's not been played

Well done Artem. You just know that all we are going to hear tomorrow night is how he can do it in the semis, doesn't even need to make the final, yawn yawn already.

So unusual to see Bart lacking speed, I'm sure they will have tried to correct things but to no avail.

It's one of their most laboured lines, almost every meeting, same at Wolverhampton the other night, ffs it was heat 11, they say it like we should be grateful for the fact that we might get 4 or 5 decent heats.

Nice recovery Max Fricke, got plenty of speed tonight.

Been the best rider all series and if he takes the title it will be well deserved

Rub it in why don't you

This pair need a good slap for their inane drivel.

Yep, gloves and boots, plus a decent motor under him.

No bigger example of why every point should count than tonight, World Championship on the line and all these races and points are almost superficial.

These two seem to have it sewn up whoever's in charge.

Desperation

Electric start from Woffy there, keep it going Tai. Freddie seen his arse with Morris, can't blame him

True but then again Dave Rowe could comfortably commentate on the racing even if they doubled the speed at which they showed it.

Fair comment but maybe they could show just the actual minute's race rather than all the guff, wouldn't have to be live either, they could just squeeze in the Owlerton races as and when the opportunity arose, track grades etc.

Assuming Eurosport will have their roving reporter Dave Rowe at Owlerton on Monday, so maybe it wouldn't be too big a stretch to show the races alternately even without the use of multiple cameras, which tbh have been used quite badly for most matches this season anyway.

Well at least Monday is currently forecast to be a dry day, shame it won't be shown on TV but better to have a decent track to race on.

Diana me thinks.

Racing below average again but just like the other week the close scores and uncertain outcome made it a decent night's viewing.
