When the home No1 can only muster 8pts from 5 rides and your No 5 can only score 6pts from 5 rides. Then it's inevitable that your not going to get much success, especially against such a good team as Poole.

I personally think The Dane is a bit of a wild rider, but he did nothing wrong. Piper left a massive hole on the inside and Thomsen went there. Once Thomsen was there. Piper's only option was a cut back. He choose instead to keep going on the outside. Unfortunately, once he did there was only going to be the one outcome.

😀

Another professional dive.Saying that the Briggo dirt deflector causes more falls than it does deflecting dirt!!

His average for 2024 was it not And his Average this Season That certainly is not more than three pts on his average from 2024.

So that gives him a free pass tor try when he feels like it? The other two riders mentioned ride their hardest in every race, does kemp?

That's a bit harsh imo. The Lions kept the meeting going until the last heat. Yes seeing Douglas crash and the ref awarding the race, put a bit of a damp squid, but on the whole I thought it was a good meeting.

Such a shame to end heat 15 there. Been some great racing and some very hard racing, but all in all, it's been a very good meeting imo.

Fair play to the lions they never gave up. They pushed it right to the end. If only Kemp could have had that attitude in all his rides, then it could have been a different outcome!!

Will Kemp come out and be the hero after all the stick we've been giving him 🤣

I think he's a tad too late for that!!!

Thats your opinion and your entitled to it. Being a top class speedway rider does not give him a free pass to be untouched from criticism. He is paid to do a professional job and in my opinion he falls far short of that.

Tatum must be a mason. Let's face it he's been stealing a living. He never does any research on riders. Very lazy man. Who thinks he's entitled to the job for life!

Good to see Kemp dropped from that heat. Leicester will most likely lose, but if I was a Leicester supporter, I would rather See Joe Thompson have the ride, than give that complete excuse of a speedway rider more rides. If speedway was not in such a state with shortage of riders. No one would touch Kemp with a barge pole

Difference is, One is a former world champion who has raced at the highest level. The other a journeyman with limited ability. Who has given his own team mate Douglas a hard time on more than one occasion this season.

Howerth will get his just deserts one day As you say he hasn't the talent to enter a bend that fast next to another rider. He reckons he didn't touch Doyle? He must be thicker than I thought he was, that or completely delusional !

100%agree. Both Tatum and Allen think Kemp has bike troubles. He never finishes a race when he's at the back. Commentators complete pair of divs. Haven't got the bottle to say what everyone can see!!

It doesn't help matters when silly Tatum defends him, saying he has bike troubles!!! and Dickinson keeps giving him rides.

I find it unbelievable that Kemp does this in every race when he's a the back. Does he not realise speedway is over four laps? Regardless what he scores in his remaining rides. If Leicester ride next year. he should be the last person on their list. He's an absolute disgrace to the club. Dickinson should pull him out of the meeting.

Shame for Redcar. With a better choice of guests, they could have pushed Poole a lot closer. Allen in Heat 14 was the 1st time he actually beat a Poole rider, but still threw the heat away. Hodder! That was always going to be a big fat zero.

Hodder ( Best to sort out these niggles now. Not in the big meetings) Bet that will go down with the Redcar fans!!

Yes it really shows up the sport when you get the likes Emil sitting at home twiddling his thumbs and you've got a wanna be DJ who doesn't even ride in the top league over in Poland getting a wildcard. Theres been some dodgy picks over the years, but this pick brings the sport in to disrupt. A lot of money must have changed hands!!

Woffinden will do about three GPs. He'll be stone last in the standings and then will jack it in citing his injures from the season before. Picking him has really turned the sport into a complete mockery. It's either backhanders or some proper delusional people picking the wildcards. btw who does the picking?

But is that not what all tracks do before the start of a meeting. I would not say that was doctoring would you?

I don't think they doctored the track. It looked like a typical October time track to me. Greasy and damp. It was alway going to stay that way with the cold air imo
