  1. Sadly rain is always a risk at B Vue, which may explain the size of the crowd. Was nicely poised for a great finish, they should restage it because any other result is an injustice. Harris has not raced Brennan or Bewley whereas others have faced all three (Nicholls for example). Fans want to see a full meeting.
  2. It's a great weekend and a lovely city. The atmosphere during the day, if the weather holds, is goods, as is the afternoon event before the meeting gets underway (fanzone?). We've stayed outside and got the train into Cardiff - now it's an earlier finish this is feasible from a fair distance away.
  3. Lots of people are moaning about the racing, I thought it was great. The way Lahti kept riders behind him was top drawer - as commented on by Louis. You don't have to have lots of overtaking for it to be good racing, although there was some of that too. We'll done Vojens, a track you need to think on not just twist the throttle open.
  4. Makes me sad to be a brit because so many on here do nothing but moan about everything
  5. It wouldn't play on my browser so had to download 'dplay' app and it was easy to find on there.
  6. May have to get someone else to replace Barker if the rumours are true about him failing a drug test?
  7. Not Witches fans though on current showings. Batch did very well against Belle Vue last week, and has a better record in Ht15's than King.
  8. Did Holder fall in this meeting? For a wildcarded 'GP star' his score was low and I was wondering if he'll be at Foxhall on Thursday. .
  9. Always a competitive meeting, looking forward to it.
  10. Were you there? He definitely was trying but just made poor starts and did pass a couple of times. It was a pretty good meeting tonight, plenty of action.
  11. I also do not like the new surface and think that does have an impact Harris has a good record at Lynn so no surprise he's loving it.
  12. The racing was OK but mainly waiting for the inevitable pass by the BV riders. Better gating by BV and it would have been a different story. Too one sided to get excited from my perspective.
  13. I wouldn't have thought Eurosport choose the fixture.
  14. A number of factors. It isn't obviously just the track which affects the quality of racing (and that to me is not necessarily just passing) but the riders involved too. In my view, the engine manufacturers and tuners are killing the sport because the bikes are so unpredictable on anything other than totally smooth slick tracks. They'll be riding on concrete next
  15. I will be watching. I've enjoyed the Eurosport coverage and the debacle at Sheffield was obviously not their fault.
  16. You may be right although there is a difference between self employed for tax purposes and having an employment status of self employed. It is complex though https://www.gov.uk/employment-status/worker
  17. I don't think they are self employed anyway - at least not by the UK definition. They are contracted workers, which is different. If you are self employed you can choose to work or not to work as you see fit so I think is why 'Bosman' could not be applied here and if they sign a contract under those terms they have to stick to it or withdraw from it and face the consequences.
