Would save having to drop him anyway when Thorsell returns. Never rated him and seems to have lost it mentally. Still, nothing surprises me and he could be back in a Pirates race jacket before long

Should be a comfortable home win for the Aces and I fancy they may get within 6 at Monmore if Bjerre carries on as he's started, definitely their top rider so far in my view.

Bjerre was the standout rider for the aces, they have a weak tail away from NSS and Bewley was worse than that! Completely different when on his home track. Heeps/Fricke race was brilliant stuff. He's too good for reserve.

Hans Nielsen, Sam Ermolenko, Tony Rickardsson, Jason Crump. Riders never choose to get beat. Masters not looking like a No.1 Who will go when Thorsell fit?

It's always been a fi e line and you may be right but for me it's always a combination of things. Perhaps the new starting regs don't suit his rolling starts I still remember a few years back when Nig Flatman was having a poor run and thought it must be the bike. Sanders borrowed it and won a race with ease! I'm sure it will be figured out as he's too experienced to let those scores continue.

Really don't get the furore over team suits. I couldn't care less and actually used to like seeing all the different leathers riders wore. They can have team race jackets and helmet colours - now I sometimes find it hard to tell who's who on track. It does nothing to increase the crowd, which will continue to reduce unless there is more entertainment on offer, in a better environment, than 15 races.

Although I can partly see the reasoning, it's really too easy to blame the bike if you do badly.

Who is spud?

Absolutely. My comment was a little tongue in cheek but in my view it is about consistency and not an average from one season. Not that I've looked at past history but 'out and out' no. 1s I can think of rarely dipped below double figures in a meeting and never in 2 meetings running. He will no doubt come good again he wasn't crowned British Champ for nothing but his start is a worry for Stars fans.

That was more than he scored at Ipswich I think. His scoring is crucial for them and on the evidence of these two meetings he isn't an out and out No.1, as you assess.

Thought everyone knew it was Gomolski?

Ha, as we're the Leicester riders and Lynn last night

Yes, but they have a No. 1

Ha, yes he's not started well this year and as for the British Champ, disgraceful.

Was a great programme though, lots to read and an improvement on last year.

It was the same at Foxhall on Thursday, white and yellow both looked the same to me.

That's gone over my head,?? whoosh.

Didn't like the yellow helmet covers though, difficult to tell apart from White - else my eyes are failing. Although I think ref was fooled in ht15 as I had 1st/2nd the other way around.

Was an OK meeting. Some riders looked good when making the start, Kemp impressed for Ipswich. Nicholls was superb for Leicester whilst Bates also gave it plenty of effort. Oh dear on Thomas and Perks though.

Gomolski tweeted yesterday that he needs a mechanic in the UK - I assume for Peterborough?

Uhh, it's Leicester with 8 riders not Ipswich!

Must have somewhere else lined up surely?

Has the start time been announced yet, need to plan our travel.

Nope, Tommy runs a grasstrack/speedway spares van - RTN Racing.

Saving Iversen for last? Don't know if I read too much into it but in the Tru Plant article for Ipswich, they mentioned they listed their help for 2019 as Jason Doyle and one other rider but didn't name them - someone for Lynn?
