Piffle. If Scunny had held on to the 5-1 they gated on in ht 14 it would have been 92-88. And then it only needed Masters or Nicholls to jump the start (both were on warnings) in ht 13 or 15 and one of those 5-1s would have gone west. Oh and with Howarth having beaten both Masters and Nicholls it seems down right wrong to suggest that the Scorps had no riders capable of beating the Cheetahs top two. At 81-all with a heat to go Oxford may have been favourites, but there was considerable doubt and still room for failure.

That's disappointing, I was hoping for four.

Extraordinary gap between 4th and 5th

5 matches (lowest score 10) have replaced 5 matches from last year (highest score 10)

2022 1.42 2023 3.29 2024 5.10 Doubt there are more than a couple of riders that have put that much on their average over two years, can you think of any?

2022

He has an average of 4.11. The rule you are thinking of says it can't go below 4.00, so not an issue.

This sounds familiar. I think the answer is that old green sheets are used. The August averages show Vuolas and Barker ahead of Kemp.

I hope you are wrong because there is a Jordan Jenkins sized hole in the Oxford team on Wednesday which Anders Rowe would fill perfectly

There is no asterisk against Armstrong's name on the TdF role of honour, because he was stripped of his titles - which means he does not appear on the list.

10.2.1 gives the correct answer ... six

But he got more zeros 🫢. But how did they separate Gusts and Anvesulius - shoe size?

Injured a couple of weeks ago, but wound became infected and he has been riding in pain ( his recent scores reflect this), and is taking a few days out ( until Wed at least)

One of the most improved riders in the whole league. An absurd suggestion.

And yet last week 9 points and heat 15 nomination (in a last heat decider) at Scunthorpe. Think the jury's out on Heeps' absence.

There is a mountain of empirical evidence (cf any Kelvin Tatum commentary) to show that there is little point in expecting this to change.

Maybe, but he's going to have to catch up with Bartosz Banbor, Adam Bednar and Mitchell McDiarmid for starters. William Cairns will be up there soon after Ashton too (with the usual caveats that accompany young prospects)

As far as I see it the only advantage is that if there is a superheat you get home advantage. I think promoter's want second leg because they get a bigger crowd to see the trophy actually decided.

BYC - Average no of entrants per class: 2023: 7.67 2024: 8.21 Looks like AN increase to me.

Wozniak Elkstraliga average 1.81 Brennan div 2 average 1.48. Maybe different in 3 years time, but at the moment it is clear who is the better rider. Remember Wozniak is a former Polish champion (ahead of Dudek, Hampel, Zmarzlik, Janowski, Kolodziej and both Pawlicki's)

Average nearly 8 away Only missed one match all season Green sheet av way below recent form. What's not to like?

I notice that with Einermark and Thornblom not scoring on Tuesday, ALL of Piraterna's points were scored by Poles!

Re Kvech's absence: https://www.speedwaya-z.cz/?p=56076 That's dated DECEMBER 2023! But on BSPL preview: King’s Lynn boss Rob Lyon said: “We’ve got Richard again, riding at No.1 for Jan (Kvech) because he’s away in a Czech Ekstraliga match which we can’t change unfortunately, which wasn’t on the calendar when we looked at it, so that’s one of those things really. Hmm.

Looked like a pretty good turnout to me, remember this is the NDL and not the first team.
