Not true, review his scores, both from team and individual meetings. He has started poorly though and is clearly not in tune with his bike yet, second meeting he's missed the two minutes whilst working on it. Two more engines this week and he needs to get them working, not just for speed but for gating. It happens, he'll get over it. I agree with others though, poor spectacle due to the very slick and dusty track. -
Is it Anze Grmek, the Slovenian?

The effect of a tactical ride will not be lost on Lemon, he'll remember 2006!

Yes. His record at NSS is not as bad as some think. Has just collected two more engines I think so we'll see what pans out but I don't agree that he'd ever go into a meeting with a defeatest attitude. Had to smile at his April Fool joke though about the weight of ridersš I agree wIth others that away from home he should be riding at No.2.

I don't think he turns up beaten before he starts - 30 wins out of 130ish rides there, suggests he was down on what he should get. However he's never as good on a slick track and did have poor gate positions in his first two and then up against K&B in his third. This is what makes a good team, covering for those having an off night.

It's because it's not the racing which attracts the numbers, nor is it cost alone. People need to feel they get value for money and have a good time when there. Not stand around disengaged - it's engagement which is key.

I thought Tate looked quite good in Aus over the winter so I'd expect him to get good results in the UK this year.

I thought this was an entertaining meeting, was impressed with Luke Harrison, Nathan Ablitt and Ryan Ingram. -
š¤£Maybe but I don't think there's any changes this year, from what I've seen. The first meeting at Foxhall was no different to last year (except for the dusty track)and it was run at a good pace.
-
I only ever saw him trackside when it was a TV meeting (apart from when he first took on the role and was getting to know how meetings ran across different tracks) to help make sure the broadcast was good. Now there isn't a TV deal why does he need to attend? Surely he can direct and be involved via discussion during meetings with those involved?

But none of those quotes mean that they're not trying to win every race! There's a lot of myth about machinery - the overall performance is down to rider ability/skill and the machine working well in tandem. On a big slick track the engine is more important than it is for most tracks in Britain and riders can spend an awful lot of money for no gain, wherever they ride. -

As has been said before, UK league speedway is not as easy as some think. -

My prediction was awful š¤£ On another night could've been a different result, some seem to be pressing panic buttons/writing off Lynn's season already after two meetings! They will have better results. -
