For the finalists it is 18-16-14-12, and for the others it is 11- 10-9-8 etc based on heat points scored. In the overall standings riders who compete in all rounds drop their lowest score.

At 14 competitors that would be the largest field for a BYC 500 round since June 2016 at King's Lynn Final: Kyle Bickley, Jordan Jenkins, Tom Brennan (Anders Rowe and Dan Gilkes were also in top six)

Funnily enough this was in the last Oxford programme [26/4 Chargers v Middlesbrough] Go back a decade and a list of the top British teens would have been headed by Robert Lambert and Adam Ellis. While they are making their mark in the international speedway world, others, notably Josh Bates, Max Clegg, Zach Wajtknecht, Liam Carr and James Shanes – have faded from view. [Wajtknecht is World Long Track Champion and Shanes still appears on NORA tracks.] No matter how well structured youth progression is (and it could be better), there will always be a high attrition rate. Let’s hope many of today’s talented teens are still in action in a decade’s time.

I could say that about Jason Crump

Thete was a very long thread on this going right back to the 1930s. 1983 was the year that caused most debate. @lucifer sam and @norbold were two of the main contributors

Michael Jepsen Jensen won it on 7 [2012 - Horsens]

Pretty sure Cierniak beat Musielak in the run-off for the last qualifying place.

Co-incidentally the two youngest teams in the league now that Middlesbrough have been de-Triggered.

It's the West Country - are you sure they are not burning witches?

That was my error, I assumed there were 4 quslifyers not 5.

Mildenhall started at 7.30 and are already 12 heats in. Yes Mildenhall. [Panthers lead 38-33]

They all meet in ht 19 so there is a strong possibility one of them will run a last and go out

Based on my 2025 world rankings (which include both his Torun and Pardubice high points) I had him at number 37 in the under 19 rider rankings just above Luke Harrison and Jody Scott (who are both a year younger). He's no Mitch McDiarmid (17th in under 19s), and he's not even the highest rated German (Tyler Haupt and Janek Konczak are the names to watch out for). On that basis I think a 4.00 average is a reasonable aspiration for Hausl, and given the need to settle in to a strange environment even that may be a challenge.
