Most of Mario’s problems this year haven’t been equipment related its the fact he can only ride the track when it’s slick (would have been ok at Scunthorpe last night as that was ridiculously slick). When he’s visiting every track for the first time he’s going to be always behind the 8 ball to start with. If he takes on advise from the experienced riders in Bomber, Kyle and Leon every meeting be that home or away he could start getting into the points on a regular basis at reserve. Was good to see Sam mixing it last night especially as used the inside to get past a few Scorpions rather than his customary outside line only approach. I can’t work out the rolling averages as never know the score that’s getting replaced by the current meeting but it must be getting very close for Bomber to lose his number 1 race position

Lidsey has the ability he just need to dial in to his home track as well as he did at NSS if he continues like he did after his first one tonight he’ll be able to be a 1 or 5 after being a 3 for seasons at Belle Vue. As for Klindt well he just Klindt, first or last seems to be his mantra

Then pull his start permission in UK and Denmark! 🙈

Klindt might as well ride with brakes on! Every race so far he comes out of bend 2 looks inside, rolls off, foot down and other just scoot past with ease. He is a total enigma, but surely they must let him go after his 3 homes performances this season

Lindsey’s home average is 4.44 (10 from 9 rides) and Klindt 2.28 (4 from 7 rides) which is where the problem is

When is Kildemand due back after his collarbone, is it in time for Monday’s double header v Sheffield does anyone know or will they be running with guests for him and Bewley?

Not his biggest fan but Batchelor is riding above his start of season average, it’s Lidsey and Klindt that have been major flops so far for the Foxes. If the track is slick like the Lions riders like it can see another away victory on the horizon

Awful news for Dan Bewley as a person, for his pursuit of a GP crown and as a Belle Vue rider as nigh on impossible to replace in the team

Mario would have been in for the shock of his life at Scunny especially with it forecast nice weather as Godfrey will flood the track as he always does in those conditions!! Thinking Jack Smith score more than 2 it’d be better than what Mario would have got even at reserve spot

BSPL decided that this years picks were from the 2025 British Final positions and not in 2026 form or with any input form the Painter at Team GB. Personally think it should be based on a riders form from this year and not a meeting held a year ago as that British Final enabled the choice of the GB SGP wildcard .

100%! He’s not a rider I’ve ever taken too and from the off season shenanigans everyone’s heard he ‘allegedly’ partakes in he can’t bring that into an already dangerous sport

Duplicated post

Cook will end up there, one of if only to get the full house of Premiership clubs ridden for! If he does and rides to his ability he’s a good signing on circa 5.4 average, but there’s always the risk of his going missing for periods of the season as has been seen before.
