Better than yours apparently.

I'm thick. What does that mean in this particular case? Is it economic or environmental sustainability? What amenity or amenities will be lost if speedway returns to the area? And what constitutes what they consider to be an amenity?

Eyesight.

The young Aussie rider Michael West has always impressed me. Has he ever considered coming over to these shores?

Boughen is by far the better rider though

It's good to see so many graduates from the British Youth Championships setup riding in the championship this coming season (Joe Thompson, Dan Thompson, Sam McGurk, Sam Hagon, Ace Pijper, Ben Trigger, Freddie Hodder, Max James, Luke Harrison and Max Perry) Proof that this kind of development is essential to the future of speedway in this country. My only wish is that more people would turn out in support of these events because attendances are quite low whenever I've been to them.

Not that day. Pretty sure it was 4

Er .. 13-year-old Willie Cairns on a 250cc is better! Armadale June 3rd 2023 British Youth Championship Round 4 Celina Liebmann's times: 64.7 64.1 No time 62.5 62.9 Willie Cairns' times: No time 61.6 62.0 61.7 No time To put it into even more perspective... The fastest time around Armadale in 2023: Justin Sedgman 12/05/23 in a time of 56.5 And for the record... Jody Scott and Ashton Vale were posting sub 60 second times that day. Celina Liebmann was distinctly unimpressive.

So, just one last rider to be confirmed in this league, perhaps now the mods could finally pin this thread...

I've never known her to be 'negative' about anything and she's one of the most chilled members on this site.

Yes. Some peak early and never become what people think they will become. There are many examples of this throughout history.

That's almost exactly what I think the league will look like before the playoffs come around except I think Poole will be third above Berwick and Oxford and maybe even second if Flint doesn't hit the ground running for Glasgow.

I'd have preferred to see Vissing back at Ashfield over Flint because I always liked his no-nonsense style. Flint is a good rider although I believe he has pretty much reached his ceiling now.

I don't know how Workington's stadium will be able to hold the half dozen new spectators who will flock there after hearing that they've signed a female at reserve. Huge coup.

When a certain team is hiring German riders solely due to their gender it's no real shock to me to see young British riders finding themselves squeezed out.

Edinburgh (on account of them only having one real heat leader), Workington (on account of them having the weakest reserves) and Plymouth (on account of them being Plymouth) to be the three teams to finish outside the playoffs. As for the rest I'd say anyone can win it this season but if I had to pick one I'd plump for Redcar.

Oh well

Well, if she's at home riding at 6 then her heats after heat 2 will be heat 7, heat 11 and heat 14 If she's riding at 6 away from home then her other rides after heat two will be heat 6, heat 9 and heat 12. Anything else I can help you with?

Any links to any of her many other wins..?

One is but she won't just be facing the reserves all evening. Do you ever buy a program?

I've seen lots of YouTube videos of young footballing prospects who all look like Pele but who in reality are pants. I saw her around Armadale in real life and she failed to convince me of her being worthy of a place in a Championship team. I'm trying to imagine her in a heat at Ashfield against Harris and Complin and if there's first bend bunching I'm covering my eyes.

I can't see both Vuolas and Zischke riding at 3 and 4, one of them will probably be at number 2.

I stopped reading at 40° heat and just wept. You lucky sod!

It's precisely BECAUSE she is a girl/woman that the Comets have signed her. Be honest with yourself, would they have signed a rider on a 4.00 who struggles to get a point in the continent if they were male? Her signing is just pure tokenism, a gimmick. And giving her "the boot" if she fails to make any kind of impact will look even worse for Workington after they've made such a big deal of her signing. If she fails Workington are stuck with her.

That's who I was thinking of honest
