An action packed ht 7 - Kvech falling and Lindgren v Kubera. And what did we see?

Particularly the ones about Putin

So Kemp replaces Kerr, who replaced Cook, who replaced .. Kemp (@ Leicester)

And on Thursday

From official Leicester Speedway: "Congratulations to Lions Rising Star Sam Hagon who won the first event in the new National League Riders' Development Series at Poole tonight!" From BSPL site: "POOLE reserve Sam Hagon took victory in the club’s NDL Individual event at Wimborne Road after a run-off with Jake Mulford" note: "club's NDL individual event" So not the NDLRC then?

Track was very poor tonight. Bends 3 and 4 seemed treacherous and apart from a couple of decent races towards the end it was all decided by bend 3. And then there was the dust.

Or "Wikipedia is wrong shock"

Jody Scott accepting a guest booking instead of appearing here hardly screams 'important meeting

I went to Grudziadz earlier this season and it was a sell out so I wouldn't buy on the day.

That it clashes with Oxford v Workington If it really was the NDLRC Luke Killeen would be in it and the Cheetahs using a guest. But it isn't and Killeen is riding for Oxford, not in some jumped up open junior meeting.

It was listed (as Caledonian Riders Champ) but has now disappeared, presumably as a result of other rescheduling. I imagine it will reappear later in the season

His British career spanned 14 years and he was over 40 when he retired from riding regularly in top line US meetings.

So you agree that RnR is right to correct you. He was a former Russian national and has since represented the Polish national team in FIM competition.

I think Workington have a pretty good excuse. NONE of their riders are available - because they are all riding for Workington at Oxford.

You clearly haven't read the Poole press release which claims otherwise.

It is crystal ciear: It is the NDLRC per Poole website (must be true?) The BSPL website says it is an NDL series round (in two separate places) - so doubly true. ... or maybe not? I don't know. ... ask me again on 27th June

Edinburgh announced a date for theirs (listed as the Caledonian Riders Champ)

Usually there is some, but for the last SoN it was all coned off with police enforcement notices.

At least when it's in Polish I don't end up shouting at the screen in frustration at the innumeracy of the commentators.

Isn't there a rule that you are only allowed to say nice things about Jaywick if you live there?

I don't think either of those are the most Improved. I'd nominate Sam Hagon.

He's under 21 (at 1.1.24) so yes

It depends on his reason for not riding in the qualifiers. That might count against him. Can anyone tell me why he wasn't involved?

He'll do well to finish in the top 6. He's done well to qualify, not many Brits do. And there's a reason - the foreign riders are better (at least on the continental tracks where these meetings take place) Przyjemski has to be favourite, and I honestly think Flint will finish about tenth (but I'd be pleased if he proved me wrong)

14 Europeans - so surely no 15 must be Australian (or possibly Lightcap)
