    Just wondering: Hellström-Bängs’ ban ended on Friday, 15th, so … maybe the Witches didn’t have a facility, and had to use a non-contracted rider, which Lambert could be classed as?

    Indeed, the Deadbeets must have been full of confidence after that excellent performance at home to Belle Vue.

    I would have thought bottom of the barrel, rather than crumbs ... Or was he the addition to the Witches armoury that finally tipped Bluster's decision to call it off?

    Paul Hurry (from Ipswich website): “We had let the crowd in, and we tried to the end to get the meeting on. They tried to scrape the material off, but it was too wet. As soon as (track curator) Bob (Ellis) put the blade down, the sludge came out either side. There was no hope of getting it off the track.” So there was a blade ... ?

    He turned left off bend 4 ... while chasing another rider. He didn't look round because he wasn't being chased by an opponent ... but, as you say, you can interpret it whichever way you want.

    Some people don't appreciate a bit of fun 🙄

    They interviewed Simon Humphrey-Kennett on BSN and he said that, unlike a clay surface which is hard, the heavy shower had got into the track surface and it was too slippery. All the riders were in agreement to abandon the meeting.

    "philwhitewasmad" and "in the fence" doesn't sound like someone who shies away from discussing hard riding ...

    A couple of things here: a) how are we to know who you are? 2) fans discuss incidents, it's part and parcel of the sport. I don't think it was done deliberately, but this is an occasion when a lot of people (including Jan Staechmann) think the rider ahead should have been declared as the cause of the stoppage. Obviously we all feel for the injured riders. That shouldn't prevent fans from discussing what happened.
  10. Roger Jacobs
    Oh, so that's what caused the defeat. I wonder what was to blame at Compost Corner last night?
  11. Roger Jacobs
    To be fair, Foxhall has changed a bit since he rode it regularly. Ironically, I wonder if it's a confidence thing? He's settled into Championship racing, but is feeling a bit stressed in the Prem - not just the expectation of the fans but putting pressure on himself, because the current Witches line-up needs all seven riders to be on it ... Hopefully, he will get off to a good start in Heat 3 - he definitely needs to beat Cook and Kerr.

    Remarkably, still in the higher percentile of their overall finishing places since the early 70s. The Witches used to have a #1 curse - but in recent seasons it’s affected the Deadbeets … Fricke couldn’t raise his game when needed last night. Even so, I thought it would come down to the “engine room”, and so it did.
  13. Roger Jacobs
    It's on BSN ...

    They will be able to replace Nicholls with Jeppesen ...
