Weather 2 miles from track. Overcast, with moderate breeze but has been no rain for days. Probably be quite chilly later.

Well said, exactly the same as giving to charity. Personal choice.

if it was on KL twitter I wouldn't see it, I'm blocked

OK doesn't mention that on updates site, just says he retired after 2 laps.

Could someone clarify the IRR rule please. From the updates it appears Proctor pulled up, without falling implying he was not fit at the start of the race. I'm not sure how IRR covers that as I thought it was for injuries suffered during the actual meeting. Confused!

History will show that Craig Cook is a champion. It will also show he was a GP rider. How many other riders will history show as both. Not that many. Well done Cookie.

Thought it was 9 days in the UK. Maybe Racers & Royals could tell us if the rule applies to practice. It should IMO cos concussion is concussion whenever it happened.

About 15 minutes of light rain about 9 this morning. Been overcast ever since. no more weather updates from me today, I'm heading your way for Miss Saigon

A monster error in fact

Puzzling trying to think what Esbjerg could gain by lying. Denmark have priority on Wednesdays so they would find it pretty difficult to justify to Danish TV and sponsors that they allowed NKI to ride for Lynn.

Lots of mention of fixture clashes with NKI but unsurprisingly no one took the opportunity to confirm he would be at Lynn on Wednesday.

Something amiss on the third bend

Thankfully you and others like you do your best to keep clubs honest

Wonder how long before we get a Lynn Press Release

Don't worry, even if you are 5h1t scared the toilets are clean

Maybe the rules could state if any rider replaced then rides elsewhere, any points scored by his replacement would be scrapped. not ideal as replaced rider could ride after his team get to the next stage of the play offs etc.

It's a start. As others have said too many hangers on are getting involved lately and it has to be stopped. I'd like to see guilty parties banned from the pits for the next GP (or more than one if necessary). If that person happens to be a mechanic and it inconveniences the rider - tough. What happens if the next time a mechanic piles into a fracas and just happens to have a heavy spanner or similar in his hand. The consequences don't bear thinking about. I'd also like to see all the hangers on confined to one area of the pits, away from the riders who should have a limit on how many mechanics/physios/managers they can have at their side. I have no objection to handbags between riders on the track, I was brought up on it. Nygren, Featherby et al provided extra entertainment nearly every week

Charge all the hangers on in the pits full admission and it would be paid for

Why not just invest in transponders?

They are priced that way to avoid over indulgence leading to over use of the clean toilet facilities

Don't mind handbags between riders, but mechanics, hangers on etc it's unacceptable.

And again non riders getting involved. Whoever they are, they should immediately be excluded from the pits and if part of a riders team, the rider should be fined.

You could be talking about Hancock there too!

So who is best at sorting a wet track.... the Swedes or the Poles

Below is part of the press release from the club for this meeting. Now I know the back straight bogs at Swindon are legendary but in this day and age is this really the best Lynn can come up with
