Been changed to R/R now

It’s minimum 9 days for concussion over age of 20, but that doesn’t make much difference he won’t be riding Monday. I’d go for Chris Harris.

And this is the problem, I keep reading about all this great racing and then you say there was plenty of overtaking. It was terrible racing, boring, 2 decent races all night that lasted more than half a lap. the guy next to me was writing in his programme after 2 laps. It was good result for Leicester but if you think that was good racing then you have serious problems. As we were walking out down the path there was a family behind us sounds like they come for first time and they were saying it was ok but not sure they would come back.

Why do I keep reading about all this great racing at Leicester, every time I’m here it’s not great and not a single pass in 9 heats. Could write result down after 2nd bend. didn't put any water on back straight before, blue groove by heat 3 then watered that led to Fricke falling and causing Bewley to crash and knocked out.

Or Zak Cook?

Looks like Belle Vue have signed Vuolas & Mulford now (but not announced) as been included in August green sheets.

LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Richard Lawson, Sam Masters, Luke Becker, Ryan Douglas, Craig Cook, Sam Hagon. BELLE VUE: Brady Kurtz, Norick Blodorn, Jaimon Lidsey, Ben Cook, Dan Bewley, Antti Vuolas, Jake Mulford.

I'd use him at NSS, but use someone else at away tracks.

Bonus point was looking questionable all meeting but Belle Vue won it in fantastic heat 15, great racing throughout with Oxford riders getting stuck in.

Oxford website had Jake Muflord on Thursday

Only Birmingham not riding on Thursday

Belle Vue: Brady Kurtz, Norick Blodorn, Jaimon Lidsey, Ben Cook, Dan Bewley, Antti Voulas, Jake Mulford Oxford: Rohan Tungate, Erik Riss, Maciej Janowski, Charles Wright, Chris Harris, Ashton Boughen, Luke Killeen

It’s settling down now, at least riders can slide it into bends now

Because it was Chris Harris riding it like a grass track it’s so rough.

Bends 3/4 look very wet and bend 1 was dusty. Great weather, good crowd, so bad to have extended grading after 1 heat.

And remember what happened with Denmark in 2022, should have been in Esbjerg and due to the high costs involved to them and presumably low ticket sales they abandoned it and had to be moved to Vojens at very short notice and they had low crowds too.

In Denmark league they not allowed to drop tear offs now due to environmental laws. So the tear offs and threaded on that yellow wire so when they pull it off it is retained. Not sure if this means for the GP there all riders will have to have it?

He's probably looking at all the Mondays and Thursdays either team are riding. I've know BV are riding twice a week for next few weeks.

Presume Phil Morris must have called it with it being on TV. With both teams missing 2 riders suited them.

Looks like there was some rain this afternoon but it’s dry now till at least 9pm?

Jake Mulford? Original rising star last year till got injured

This is what happened with Belle Vue last week, different forecasts constantly changing, I thought they were suppose to be able to accurately predict now.

I’m sure was listed on Eurosport earlier in week. Now showing only on Discovery+ but Eurosport 2 are showing British Speedway and Speedway GP highlights for 2 hours!

It needs to be a 2 day event, maybe top 5 seeded straight to final and then the other 7 nations do race off on the Friday for last 2 places.
