Have you seen the crash, I'm pretty sure it was on YouTube earlier as I watched it... doesn't seem to be there now though 🤔

There are age limits... he is a kid but he's be riding for a number of years now maybe not in such competitive races. Yes he does have to learn, but like I said it's Speedway 101 He should have been thrown out of the meeting... yet didn't even get excluded, bizarre!

About half of last weeks

Yes, but... I've never ridden a speedway bike but have seen enough to know that you don't left turn on riders down the straight, it's Speedway 101. It's an unwritten rule, maybe it needs to be written down... even then you can't rely on today's referees to enforce it 🤷‍♂️ That move and the resulting crash could easily have left Harrison with life changing injuries!

One of the riders said they've already managed to add more banking in the last week.

A lot of people saying "once the track settles down"... with stock cars being run on it every week (are they running every week?) will it ever "settle down"?

The thing is with Klindt, he could just as easily score you an 18 point maximum (Poole the night before), Batch is much less likely to do that, maybe Klindt at number 2 and replace Batch?

I thought it was quite comical the way in which Craig Saul was trying to work the crowd up before the meeting, there was zero energy, he's good in the box and conducting interviews, a hype man he is not! 😂 As somebody else mentioned, no victory parade, not even the riders doing a circuit on their bikes, very poor 👎

I lied... Google maps says it's 3mins, but that's always conservative, anyway it's 0.1m https://maps.app.goo.gl/BZcLQtZHnwTThQfu7 ... and it "should be" safe 😁

You may be better off walking down to the Police Station, if you are able, it's only 1 minute away and everybody in Leicester should know where that is.

We're prone to "sun delays" at Leicester though unfortunately 😎

How very 2026 a rider education programme 😂. I prefer old school, as I said earlier a punch on the nose wouldn't have been out of order! But more seriously, when was the last time a referee excluded somebody for dangerous or dirty riding? It is still a rule but just no used: 012.1.14 Foul, Unfair or Dangerous Riding The Referee shall immediately disqualify any rider who they consider indulges in foul, unfair or dangerous riding. If, in the opinion of the Referee, such conduct produces an advantage to the rider involved or affects the chances of one or more riders, the Referee may stop the heat and order a re-run. In certain circumstances the Referee may disqualify a rider for foul, unfair or dangerous riding from the remainder of the meeting. In this case no replacement facilities are allowed for the remainder of a team meeting. A Referees decision to declare a heat completed, or disqualify a rider from a meeting for foul, unfair or dangerous riding shall be deemed a statement of fact and no protest or appeal is permitted. Leicester 2 minutes on at 19:28, tapes up 19:30 👍

Kerr may have ridden himself into contention

4 points from 3 Foxes riders tonight!

Kye Thomson is the only bright light in this Northamptoningham team, he'll be at number 1 when the new averages come out I'd have thought... the only thing this team is missing is Nigel Tolley's wonga 🤑

I'm pretty sure they announced over the PA that the ref was looking at a video replay.

A punch on the nose can often rectify those kind of moves 🥊

Nicolai Klindt... what an embarrassment 😳

I came in at 19:15 and there was no queue An Amalagoto... or whatever they were called? Or a Mickey Mouse watch? 😂

Doesn't help when you don't start until 7:50... a dose of British Speedway reality being served up tonight.

What are you talking about?!? I saw Mark Lemon moving oil drums around in the car park with my own 2 eyes 👀 😂

Meeting being run with the usual ruthless British Speedway efficiency! 19:40 and it ain't started!

BSN Bingo: How many times will the word "tassels" be said tonight? I'm going for 16!

Another 5hite track on Saturday for the main event then 👌

90 seconds and you'd have been fine 👍
