Hagon is being held back by the poor Leicester track. If he was the RS at, say, Belle Vue, he'd be progressing massively. The trouble with the RS system is that once you're allocated to a track, it's hard to get away.

Two southern teams returning

8 or 9?

Wasn't he the Kaptain?

Must be good to win the league and know that your efforts are truly appreciated...

I know Pete's a German, but surely he wasn't in the S.S.

Joe Thompson?

Would think Edwards and Boughen should be allowed back in the RS scheme. They haven't exceeded the criteria, and only rode at No.6 because they hadn't got a RS place. But Jenkins shouldn't be allowed back. He's exceeded the criteria and had his 25% discount. To allow him to drop back in is opening it to fiddling.

Jenkins left the Rising Star scheme last year as his PL average went above 4.00 and he became no longer eligible. Edwards also left the Rising Star scheme to become Sheffield No.6. But he still fit the criteria, so not sure if he can go back in once he's left.

I reckon:- Belle Vue retain Jake Mulford Leicester retain Sam Hagon Sheffield retain Dan Gilkes Oxford retain Luke Killeen Birmingham - lose Leon Flint (to Sheffield No.6) - take Joe Thompson King's Lynn lose Anders Rowe (no longer eligible) - take ???? Ipswich lose Dan Thompson (no longer eligible) - take ?????

All 7 clubs making their announcement.

It's the Rising Star tomorrow...

Are all the Rising Stars going to be announced tomorrow morning?

I guess you made a big donation?

I believe their last play-off final before 2021 was 2016, and then 2015.

He's a Belle Vue fan. They've been in the play-off final 3 of the last 4 years.

You reckon?

Is it correct that we're getting the full 2025 calendar on Sunday, the day after the final G.P. of 2024? Should we be booking a hotel in the height of the English summer? Somewhere around the longest day?

His season had finished. That's why he's guesting. You can only use guest riders from teams whose seasons are finished. Why would it be rained off when the forecast is dry? If the 50-50 chance of a morning shower is accurate, the track could be perfect.

Shocking track with such an advantage to the inside gates and no passing. Warner Brothers must be desperate to get an English Grand Prix at Belle Vue to get some entertainment.

Surely, as the Phil Morris choice of top of the table, Leicester will have choice of final leg, and will choose to have the second leg at home, regardless of who the opponents are?

Ivan Mauger scored a 21-maximum in 1966 in a 16-heat Cup match, but Henny Kroeze scored the first 21 maximum in a normal 13-heat league match.

Belle Vue fans must be fuming with Phil Morris. If the rules had been followed fairly, it would be them peeing all over Leicester, and into the final. Rather than getting knocked out by Sheffield next week.

Yes, this huge disadvantage of having the weakest Rising Stars must explain why Leicester and Belle Vue with the weakest Rising Stars, are scrapping it out at the bottom of the league, and King's Lynn and Birmingham with the two strongest Rising Stars, are fighting out the play-off final.
