  1. I also saw MM do it after winning a race... why have the rule if you're not going to enforce it?
  2. Just saying... FIM Track Racing Regulations 2025: 37.02 Ignition cut-out switches Solo and Sidecar motorcycles must be equipped with a functional ignition kill switch or button mounted on either right or left side of handlebar (within reach of the hand while on the hand grips) that stops a running engine. The ignition cut-out switch may also be fitted on the handlebar, as close as practicable to the throttle. The lanyard must remain attached to the wrist of the rider, mechanic or support team member at all times when the engine is running. The ignition cut-out must stop the engine immediately, by the simple action of pulling a lanyard or a non-elastic string (which must be as short as possible) attached to the rider´s right wrist. All other engine management switches and electrical connectors must remain covered or closed during riding.
  3. If you're injured, you're injured. I'd take Doyle over Kurtz in my team every day of the week. Kurtz letting Belle Vue down again for a 2nd season and the Captain too!
  4. Captain Fantastic missing Belle Vue meetings again, what an inspiration
  5. Surely it'd make the best sense to choose matches that fans find the most difficult to get to, Glasgow vs Poole, Plymouth vs Edinburgh, Belle Vue vs Ippo etc. obviously there's only so many of these you can do and maybe clubs that do their own streams will want to prioritise these as their big sellers?
  6. Can you tell me if Brady Kurtz is captaining Belle Vue at Leicester tonight please? 😁
  7. Sport is nothing without emotion... even I was chanting "Bewleh! Bewleh!" at the weekend and this NEVER happens 😂
  8. What of it! There's absolutely nothing wrong with owning one of these. It's quite normal! 😜😂
  9. Boils my pish this does... although having said that, the rider interaction during the meetings on Fri/Sat was woeful, with barely any rider coming around for applause until their final outing... which equally boils my pish. I know it's a serious event and all that, but we need to see these riders and connect with them... as I've mentioned before about Zmarzlik.
  10. Jenkins had his balls in a sling but carried on riding! 🔴🔴
  11. Track always looks poorly prepared and dusty but always seems to produce decent Speedway... go figure 🤷‍♂️
  12. Top stuff from Killeen, seems to have turned his form around
  13. Mr Dickson said he didn't want to split the Howarth and Douglas partnership
  14. Like Captaining the "World Famous" Belle Vue Aces tomorrow?
  15. He came off in the GP on Saturday... went on to take his final 2 rides though to finish 2nd and said he'd definitely be at the next GP at Gorzow on Saturday.
  16. LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Luke Becker r/r, Ryan Douglas, Kyle Howarth, Sam Masters, Drew Kemp, Joe Thompson. BELLE VUE: Dan Bewley, Norick Blodorn, Jaimon Lidsey, Zach Cook, Brady Kurtz, Tate Zischke, Jake Mulford. "The Aces are hoping Kurtz will be fit to take his place"
  17. But could get 20,000 the year before at a stale Cardiff. If it returns to Manchester next year on a single night, cheapest tickets could be nudging £100
  18. My bad 😂 Yes, I was thinking Tom Brennan should have been there...
  19. Just did a little research after hearing Phil Morris on the NBNF podcast last week talking about prize money and noticed it hasn't changed since 2022. It increased quite substantially when WBD took the series over but nothing since then, in 2021 it was paid in USD, now in EUR. Tom Brennan & Chris Harris picked up a cool €2k and Charles Wright €10,750, not a bad weekend's work! Talking of prize money, who remembers the Speedway Super Prix in 2008? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedway_Super_Prix 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Pos USD EUR EUR EUR EUR EUR 1 $12,000 € 10,200 € 16,500 € 16,500 € 16,500 € 16,500 2 $8,800 € 7,480 € 12,500 € 12,500 € 12,500 € 12,500 3 $7,200 € 6,120 € 10,000 € 10,000 € 10,000 € 10,000 4 $6,200 € 5,270 € 9,000 € 9,000 € 9,000 € 9,000 5 $5,200 € 4,420 € 7,750 € 7,750 € 7,750 € 7,750 6 $5,200 € 4,420 € 7,750 € 7,750 € 7,750 € 7,750 7 $4,600 € 3,910 € 7,250 € 7,250 € 7,250 € 7,250 8 $4,600 € 3,910 € 7,250 € 7,250 € 7,250 € 7,250 9 $3,850 € 3,273 € 6,500 € 6,500 € 6,500 € 6,500 10 $3,700 € 3,145 € 6,250 € 6,250 € 6,250 € 6,250 11 $3,650 € 3,103 € 6,000 € 6,000 € 6,000 € 6,000 12 $3,600 € 3,060 € 5,750 € 5,750 € 5,750 € 5,750 13 $3,550 € 3,018 € 5,500 € 5,500 € 5,500 € 5,500 14 $3,500 € 2,975 € 5,250 € 5,250 € 5,250 € 5,250 15 $3,450 € 2,933 € 5,000 € 5,000 € 5,000 € 5,000 16 $3,400 € 2,890 € 4,750 € 4,750 € 4,750 € 4,750 17 $1,000 € 850 € 1,000 € 1,000 € 1,000 € 1,000 18 $1,000 € 850 € 1,000 € 1,000 € 1,000 € 1,000
  20. He'll do well to not get injured... and then you're back to square one He is a bit injury prone
