  1. As far as I know, but speedway riders don't always end up retired. Just ask Kyle Hughes! It may be a case of needing a break for whatever reason.
  2. Poor Tungate had a nightmare. On a win or paid win in his first 2 rides when they were stopped. His bad day was further compounded by putting himself in the pits fence after heat 13 Thankfully, he got up okay.
  3. Gino probably would have scored more too if it wasn't for a snapped foot rest in his first race
  4. Negativity is a poisoned chalice! Until the negativity vanishes, expect a lot of close home scores.
  5. Didn't it score 9 points or so at Plymouth? Sometimes it pans out, sometimes it doesn't.
  6. I've slowly been becoming less interested in the GPs myself lately. These 2 'mishaps' haven't helped, but even before that, I have completely forgotten a GP was on until I saw something or other on Facebook, or on the internet somewhere. That being said, it is worth remembering that we have lost, for one reason or another, 3 of the most exciting Grand Prix riders in recent times - messrs Ward, Sayfutdinov and Gollob. Sure there are some exciting races still, but every now and again, those riders were capable of pulling off a 'Wow' ride. I look at the current lot and apart from Nicki, there's not many great entertainers. (Harris can entertain in EL, but less so @ GP level). Fundamentally, I think the GP series desperately needs riders like Ward and Sayfutdinov back in there as soon as possible.
  7. Were my ears playing tricks on me or did Kelvin use the word 'penile' several times tonight?
  8. Which did he break previously? Broke the right wrist last night.
  9. Ritchie on borrowed engine and looked a completely different rider. Heeps hurt wrist and unlikely to ride tomorrow.
  10. The poor little man probably has totally different set-ups in mainland Europe and UK. Maybe different bikes, different engines, different tuner. different staff, and so on. I'm surmising here, I have no firm knowledge of his set-up. What I do know is that Bjerre is a class act, and he will get whatever problem he has sorted at some point or other. If not for King's Lynn, then for someone else.
  11. Speedway is mentally tough. All it takes is a couple of good rides though, and the move to reserve will do him a power of good, of that I have no doubt. If he's still struggling after a few weeks at reserve, then maybe it's time to panic.
  12. Hangman for next team bonding session?
  13. It's very tough for the 2nd reserve this year. There's going to be tough meetings for them all over the course of the season. There's little point in kicking him out, as the replacement is more than likely to struggle just as much.
  14. Doolan and Rose already booked, as far as I know
