'Disaster for Australia' Oo Sarcasm!

I think we are now down to six tracks shared with greyhounds. Four of those are under threat (Monmore, Perry Barr and Armadale, and Sheffield), leaving just two where the sports still seem to co-exist Kevin Boothby owned Oxford and Mildenhall

But probably true

Home straight seating - plus under cover, minus not the greatest view (seating not well raked and a couple of Poles in the way Back straight stand (temporary) - great view, not covered (and it often rains in Vojens) Standing - decent views assuming not to crowded or wet

I'd not quibble with that assessment

Which would leave the likes of Sedgmen, Howarth and Toft as number ones next season. Grim, but plausible.

He fell off a unicorn

I don't need to look in the annals, I was there

Possibly the weirdest graphic ever - individual scores in a team meeting

Not the first time he's caught my eye

The more guilty you are, the more you need a solicitor, so I wouldn't read too much into that.

And yet he's won a GP, a GP Challenge and was runner-up in last year's European Championship. Hardly a complete failure.

Later this week

He's still a Monarch - an Oxford Monarch Cheetah

Shouldn't the title of this thread be changed to "Everybody prepares their starts - get over it"

Robert Lambert. Bewley wasn't on the radar at this age. I don't think he'd even ridden a speedway bike yet.

The format is easy to construct, but the problem is that it requires 12 riders to have back to back races. It only works here because there are two groups so even 'consecutive ' races are two heats apart.

His ability to pick the right line coming out of bend 2 is also well in advance of his experience.

Bewley at 90% is still far better than most of the alternatives

But his actual 2023 average based on all official fixtures has him 9th (or 10th behind Danny King if you ignore bonus points). That has to be short of expectations.

And Ace is in Zarnovica for the European under 19 championship

Currently standing at £19,990! Just a tenner to go

I'm guessing Plymouth will be on 16th or 23rd of August with Workington or Bullets moving to 30 Aug (NDL has later cut-off date)

The thing that has really made my visits to Oxford a pure pleasure is the atmosphere - packed crowd, huge waves of emotion as the drama unfolds. Like you I'm a fan of local rivals through and through (Racers rather than Robins) but it is impossible not to get wrapped up in the excitement.
