I get that point but an injury can happen at any point and not even be your fault of course. Do they all not try early season because it may jeopardise the rest of the year? Mid-season? As a rider I think you should always avoid unnecessary risk.

Without all the injuries, missed flight s, broken vans, Peterborough could have finished much closer to the other teams. Well done on your win last night.

I don't really believe that though. Riders have both money and pride as motivators, can't see them deliberately not trying to win.

Lydd as well, which has been going for years, Swindon also had a small track inside the main one, though like Lynn (Olle used the main track) , not sure if it was ever used.

I think it means Gas + Air

I went to halfway, blimey the racing seems rather slow but I like the idea of someone hanging off the back of the stock car, dodgems style.

Hawkins might say the result didn't matter but I think they'd rather face Poole in the semis than Swindon.

Would that mean a ban for withholding services?

And a genuine one last week got the rider a ban!

Indeed. Tungate recently 'forgot his passport' so couldn't catch a flight to the UK for a Thursday meeting for the Panthers and no ban ensued. Nicholls on the other hand injured himself loading his van for the Championship riders championship and was banned for a week - should've used the old 'van broken down' line.

I thought there was a rule about an 'unsatisfactory start'? This is what is used to call all of them back for a first bend incident as they interpret the start line until the exit of bend 2 as 'the start'.

Without Wright's bike failure in heat one could've been a Panthers win

Should be an easy win for Swindon. Fast track should suit Batch, Toby, Perks and Doyle. Boro have no form/confidence going into the meeting.

I'm surprised people still keep thinking it's about racing - it's about commercial growth and selling tickets/sponsorship.

Lindgren lives/lived in Andorra, maybe for tax reasons!

Every rider will make their own assessment. Let's face it, those who can get remarkably good money from Poland so, as you say, it's not surprising. There a lot of very wealthy riders at the top. At least this gives places for others and the pendulum may swing again at some point, who knows.

Not last night, was trying hard to pass.

Nope just got beat.

He did well at Rye House and has progressed well at Leicester forming a good partnership with Nicholls. Swindon are reaping the benefits.

Shame for Boro, Andersen's EF and fall didn't help.

There has to be one day when an injured rider returns?

Presumably Kennett & KP have already been given the wink that they will be riding for another club in the merry go round we have these days? Peterborough? Lynn?

Should give him some confidence.

Maybe they were then but on updates no-one got within even half a second. How do they record race times these days?

Well done indeed. Surprising there were no other fast ones though. Are race times still a person with a stopwatch?
