    I never witnessed it but the Olympique at Wolves used to use handicap races and they're also common in the US. The other suggestion about weight as a handicap is also not as daft as it sounds and would be a leveller in terms of moving the total weight around the track. Also, it might encourage some fat guys to take up the sport 😆

    Wasn't Sayfutdinov's injury sustained at Sheffield?
  3. SPEEDY69
    So, very much like the Ips-BVue meeting I witnessed.
  4. SPEEDY69
    Of course you do, ignore him. Have experienced that myself at both reading and Mildenhall, bike took off!

    If it's out there online why wouldn't people read it, it's not their fault.
  6. SPEEDY69
    Maybe but someone of his standing should have another or be able to fix it for a later race. That particular race was I agree unlucky for Birmingham.
  7. SPEEDY69
    Eh? None of them are 'my' boys, you seem to be assuming I'm a BV fan. King passing a visiting No.6 who maybe hasn't ridden Foxhall before, on his home track, indicates very little to me. My point was about the track 'improvements' which hopefully we'll get to see.
  8. SPEEDY69
    And that was the difference. Results could be written down after bend two for nearly all races, when behind Bewley looked faster but could not find a way past anyone. I prefer a track which offers something to those behind and a better test of the 'improvements' will be those races where the opposition make the start.

    Well done Birmingham, shame you couldn't nick the win but sounds like the crowd were the winners.

    Good victory for the Witches who made good starts all night but a little boring as a spectacle. Track seemed awfully slick. I can't see them being beaten at home, nor away to be honest!
  11. SPEEDY69
    MJJ scored two more than I thought he would.
  12. SPEEDY69
    I suspect FIM homologation will come with a nice fee.
  13. SPEEDY69
    Looks like an away win to me, 43-47
  14. SPEEDY69
    No but on that front I'm surprised more fans don't buy team shirts - football fans seem to love wearing them to games or outside in general. Don't you find it difficult sometimes to tell who's who, particularly on TV?
  15. SPEEDY69
    Waste of money. Riders have their own sponsors on them, I get that, but it's now a club/sponsor expense rather than the riders' responsibility. Much prefer a race jacket and suits which show the individuality of the riders.
