£22.50 per night is great value to see the worlds top riders.

Because it's already pretty much sold out! Remember it was originally due to be May 2020 and tickets have been carried over. There may be some available (due to refunds etc) which should go on sale at some point.

Next 3 weeks are 16 August British Final 23 August Belle Vue v Kings Lynn (terrible matchup) 30 August Wolves v Belle Vue There will probably be more before play offs start.

On the Belle Vue social media they originally put score as 43 - 74

Yes but our #6 not being fit was our biggest problem tonight, he is our 2nd best rider at NSS, need to find a replacement as sounds like will be out quite a while.

What a crazy 4 meetings between Belle Vue & Peterborough! Belle Vue winning comfortably twice at the Showground and Peterborough getting a draw and win at NSS. If they meet in playoffs will be 2 great meetings but Belle Vue have won on aggregate both times so far.

They don’t have UK rights for SGP yet no guarantee they will.

Crump is riding tomorrow for Plymouth, so again fit enough for Plymouth but not for Ipswich.

Turned out lot easier then we expected. Slicker track helped the Aces and improved the racing. Bewley & Kurtz both brought engines over from Poland.

Belle Vue ‘Bikeright’ Aces: Dan Bewley 7.66, Richie Worrall 5.32, Steve Worrall (C) 5.58, Charles Wright 6.21, Brady Kurtz 7.46, Tom Brennan 4*, RIDER TBC 5.20; TM: Mark Lemon Ipswich ‘TruPlant’ Witches: Jason Crump 8.00 R/R, Anders Rowe 5.38, Craig Cook 7.56, Danny King (C) 7.10, Jake Allen 5.15, Drew Kemp 3*, Paul Starke 4.82; TM: Ritchie Hawkins

Eurosport events have been around a while, they do touring cars etc. In Poland they haven't given Tv rights to Eurosport Poland they have done new deal with nSport. Eurosport - EUROSPORT EVENTS

Didn't think it been confirmed if Eurosport have the GP contract yet for UK.

Another example again when track is drier and slicker the racing is better as riders have to hunt for the grip on different lines.

Why what's happening in 2024?

Referee had 3 decisions to make and got all 3 wrong. Woffinden one was ridiculous, dropped it miles after any contact, so much room to stay on. Madsen, there was contact but it was minimal and there was a delay till Emil realised he should drop it. The final, look at the line Janowski took, he was so tight going down the straight he was riding over gate 2! He was never going to have the correct angle to turn it in time with another rider alongside him and ploughed into Emil. Crazy decision to exclude Emil.

After the couple of days of rain the track was very grippy to start with, bit tricky for the young lads but after some tyre packing it was lot better. Heat 14 was a cracker between Spencer and Bowen, side By side for 4 laps with Bowen out in the dirt showing so much more confidence this year.

To be honest before hand most of us would have been delighted with a point as we didn’t think would keep it within 10 but in the end it was points lost. The rain completely changed the track which Wolves (especially Douglas) adapted to better and another home team who used a tactical sub to win. The racing was fantastic before the rain came, just like the Wolves track use to be years ago, an outside line and inside line that could be used for passing and no fallers!

The team that won on the night got to use a tac sub though at home, draw would have been a fair result. The partner for Bewley in heat 15 was a big debate between BV fans. Kurtz was very poor in heat 13 and most of the night apart from one ride. Worrall had been decent but not been out since heat 11 and no offence didn’t think he would have beaten Jorgensen & Lawson (although he gave it a good go). I would have picked Kurtz and hoped he popped out of the gate. But for Belle Vue in the end it was lost in heat 14, neither rider should have been beaten by Mountain in that. No need for the big cheers though when Etheridge fell heavily into the fence and the the subsequent jeering and abuse he got from Kings Lynn fans for not getting up.

And now Kings Lynn get to use tactical at home after Belle Vue were 4 behind for ages.

It’s been bad for about the last 10 years or so, use to be great in the early 2000s when Wilson, Stonehewer etc were there. although when Belle Vue were there few weeks ago it’s was bad for the first 10 heats and then last few heats were great but took long time to get going.

Kings Lynn not learnt from the chaos at Peterborough, tonight only one lady taking cash/card and having to take track and trace details too.

Riss only dropped one point last night so injury didn’t seem to effect him.

I wasn't at the first meeting on bank holiday Monday 31 May but was told there was more at that first meeting then Monday even though it was suppose to be restricted! That being said though I thought Monday was a healthy crowd and better then some of the crowds I've seen there in previous years.

Because averages at start of July barley changed due to lack of meetings, I suspect they will both be number 1 on 1st August.
