First 8 races were a little pedestrian. The last 12 made up for it with some great racing. chuganov was definitely not chug chug chugging along .. brilliant display for a17 year old. Delighted for Russia... they deserved it being a man down and winning the meeting. I know the doping results were known on Wednesday... but when was the actual offence ?

Pleased to see that Belle Vue now have a round scheduled for Sat 5th August. The meeting last year was really good with the youngsters handling the big wide open spaces very well.

Leszno is my favourite track in Poland and I am hopeful of seeing two great meetings. Team GB will go there and give it everything they have got.

I cannot see any future prospects with Stoke until the present promoters get out and let someone take over. I agree that Loomer road has potential when a new broom sweeps through. I used to love going to Stoke when John Dews was in charge of the track and I regularly enjoyed good racing as he was a great track man.

Good result for Aces fans.. Dan 2nd, Kyle 3rd with Jack and Ben scoring 7 and 6 respectively. Hope Luke's withdrawal was precautionary rather than anything else. Brilliant to have 15 year old Kyle making the rostrum.

Most pleasing to see 4 riders from Belle Vue plus Ben Wooodhull who is an Aces asset riding tonight. Greta line up overall...hope they get a good crowd in.

Nobody would have taken a bet for Denmark to go out on a run off. Great racing on a really good track.... riders using all parts of the bends and gaining an advantage unlike King's Lynn on Saturday Most enjoyable

He is the only rider to have won a race at Hyde Road , the greyhound track and the NSS !!

No surprise there

Ideal place to build houses !!!

Sadly topping the table does not guarantee winning the league as seen last year and on other occasions. Belle Vue have a good side which is capable of taking the title.... Wolves are the Aces biggest rivals.

Pleased with the result. One good race otherwise an appalling advert for Speedway. Track dreadful.... even admitted by one of the Poole riders.

Good luck to Justin.... maybe he will get a premiership side to take him on . Let us hope Rohan can benefit from his time at Belle Vue.

Good result for the aces. Well done to the team

Shame on the BSPA re stopping Dan Bewley from riding. BSPA considering wild cards for the British Final next year..... would this have happened if it was not for Lambert missing out? The BSPA will never give up their power to run the Sport and therefore will always be rules for the few and not all. I have been dismayed at the way the sport is run for a long time.... nothing changes !!!

New averages only come in once all 7 riders have completed 4 home and 4 away as far as I am aware.

Watched from the second bend for the first time. Fantastic view of riders screaming round the bend and really shows the many different lines available for passing . Excellent meeting made even better by anAces 1-2

Grandstand holds 1850 South stand limited to 1200 this year re temporary stands.

Let us hope that we have a good entertaining meeting and a lot of people watching on BT sport. Good meeting last year even with rain during the last hour. BT sport is only a one year contract so we need them to be happy with the viewing figures.

Many competitions use wild cards and it makes sense to join in. We seem to have a new bunch of young riders coming through.... they need to be encouraged to take on meetings in Europe before they venture in to European leagues. There are lots of individual meetings in Germany, Holland , France etc ....I am sure they would love to add some Gb talent to their competitions

A track prepared to allow good entertainment with plenty of passing.

Ford once again dumps a loyal Poole rider and lets Kyle go. Holder leaving Poole will probably be the best thing that has happened to him in recent years. Loyalty is a two way concept... hope Kyle finds a better home

The fixtures were completed before Belle Vue Speedway 2017 was up and running. However they should have complained straight away and insisted on moving the fixtures. In fact Belle Vue are racing in 3 matches on Saturday since a Belle Vue select is racing at Berwick for Kevin Doolan's testimonial. that makes 2 Belle Vue selects riding on Saturday

There certainly was banking on the track..... the question is how much ?

The new track is 10 m wide on the straights and 17 m on the bends. Th e banking is 8 % but it can be moved up to a max of 10 %. I would like to know how much banking was on the old Hyde road.
