When was his good day? The most he ever scored was 7... on his debut and he matched that in his penultimate match. Some on here went completely overboard hyping the lad up because he outgated and beat some established names through his short Speedway career Fri Aug 25th 2023 Oxford v Plymouth (CP) 7 3, 2, 1, 0, 1' 7 1 Tue Sep 5th 2023 Oxford v Scunthorpe (CP) 7 2, 1', 0, 2' 5 2 Fri Sep 8th 2023 Glasgow v Oxford (CP) 7 0, 1', 1', 0, T 2 2 Wed Sep 13th 2023 Oxford v Glasgow (CPPOB) 6 3, 0, 1', 0 4 1 Fri Sep 22nd 2023 Redcar v Oxford (CPPOB) 7 0, 0, 0 0 Sun Sep 24th 2023 Oxford v Redcar (CPPOB) 7 0, 1, 0, 0 1 Tue Oct 3rd 2023 Glasgow v Oxford (CPPOB) 7 1'~, 1, 0 2 1 Thu Mar 14th 2024 Oxford v Birmingham (PRa) 7 1', 1, 1, 0 3 1 Thu Mar 21st 2024 Oxford v Sheffield (PRa) 7 0, 0, 1, 0 1 Mon Apr 1st 2024 Birmingham v Oxford (PRa) 7 0, 0, 1' 1 1 Thu Apr 11th 2024 Oxford v Ipswich (PRa) 7 0, 0, 0, 0 0 Thu Apr 18th 2024 Ipswich v Oxford (PRa) 7 0, 3, 1 4 Thu Apr 25th 2024 Oxford v King's Lynn (PRa) 7 1, 0, 1, 1 3 Thu May 2nd 2024 Sheffield v Oxford (PRa) 7 0, 0, 0 0 Mon May 13th 2024 Belle Vue v Oxford (PRa) 7 0, 0, 1' 1 1 Thu May 23rd 2024 Oxford v Belle Vue (PRa) 7 3, 0, 1, 0 4 Mon May 27th 2024 Leicester v Oxford (PRa) 7 1', 0, 0 1 1 Mon Jun 3rd 2024 Oxford v Leicester (PRa) 7 3, 2, 1, 0 6 Thu Jun 13th 2024 Oxford v Ipswich (PRb) (Aban) 7 0, 0 0 Mon Jun 17th 2024 King's Lynn v Oxford (PRa) 7 0, 2, 0 2 Thu Jun 27th 2024 Ipswich v Oxford (PRb) 7 0, 1', 3, 0, 0 4 1 Mon Jul 1st 2024 Oxford v Sheffield (PRb) 7 0, 3, 1', 0, 0 4 1 Thu Jul 4th 2024 Oxford v Ipswich (PRb) 7 0, 0, 3, 3, 0 6 Mon Jul 8th 2024 Birmingham v Oxford (PRb) 7 0, 0, 0, 0 0 Thu Jul 18th 2024 Oxford v Belle Vue (PRb) 7 0, 0, 1 1 Mon Jul 22nd 2024 Belle Vue v Oxford (PRb) 6 2, 0, 0 2 Thu Jul 25th 2024 Sheffield v Oxford (PRb) 6 1', 1, 0, 0 2 1 Thu Aug 1st 2024 Oxford v Birmingham (PRb) 6 2, 0, 0, 1' 3 1 Thu Aug 15th 2024 Oxford v King's Lynn (PRb) 6 3, 1, X, 0 4 Mon Aug 19th 2024 Leicester v Oxford (PRb) 6 3, 0, 0, 0 3 Thu Aug 22nd 2024 King's Lynn v Oxford (PRb) 6 1, 0, 0, 1, 3 5 Thu Aug 29th 2024 Oxford v Leicester (PRb) 6 2, 0, 0, 1' 3 1 Fri Apr 4th 2025 Edinburgh v Glasgow (Ch) 2 0, 0 0 Fri Apr 11th 2025 Glasgow v Edinburgh (Ch) 2 T, 0, 3, 0 3 Sat Apr 19th 2025 Berwick v Glasgow (BSNSC) 2 0, 1', 1', 1 3 2 Fri Apr 25th 2025 Edinburgh v Glasgow (BSNSC) 2 3, 1', 2, 0 6 1 Sun May 4th 2025 Glasgow v Berwick (BSNSC) 2 0, 1, T, 0 1 Fri May 9th 2025 Glasgow v Edinburgh (BSNSC) 2 T, 0, 2, R 2 Sat May 10th 2025 Plymouth v Glasgow (CP) 2 0, 0, 3, 0 3 Fri May 16th 2025 Scunthorpe v Glasgow (CP) 2 3, 0, 3, 1 7 Fri May 30th 2025 Edinburgh v Glasgow (CPKO) 2 0, 0 0

It's all so typically British Speedway isn't it, companies house shows 1 shareholder, Mark Lemon, holding 1 share valued at £1... Then there's the 2 co-promoters Tony Gaul & Paul Hunsdon (previously named as a Director at Birmingham, as was David Rowe for a short period interestingly) seemingly with no limited liability... and we have people like Jan Staechmann saying things like "they're the ones we can talk about" on BSN. Why so cloak and dagger? What could possibly be worse than the CEO and team manager of another team being the sole shareholder of another club?

What about Northampton? Lemo stands to lose his £1 shareholding😂

Is it strange that Mark Lemon is the sole shareholder of Northampton Speedway Ltd but is the team manager and CEO of Belle Vue... what a tangled web we weave... only in Speedway

I'm sure that can all be made up with setup changes and a bit of throttle, clutch control and body position... not to mention a tight set of tapes... I've seen Leon Madson do it in the GP's, look at the tapes and not the magnets. Why would you not, especially if you're next to known twitchers... Jason Doyle for example 😂

I'd have thrown him from the meeting and that's it.

Nice to see Sam Hagon amongst the points 👍🏻

I was half expecting the test card and dead tone to appear during that interview with Scott Nicholls 😂

2 nights on the trot Bomber has binned it... not very often you see that!

I think if a rider chooses to look across a rider next to him at the magnets in the starting mechanism and gets suckered in and touches the tapes that's the risk he runs instead of just looking at the tapes.

No Roynon, so far, on BSN this season

GLASGOW: Chris Harris, Mario Hausl, Leon Flint, Kevin Juhl Pedersen, Kyle Howarth, Sam Hagon, Freddy Hodder. PLYMOUTH: Danny King, Joe Thompson, Daniel Klima, Ben Barker, Scott Nicholls, Anze Grmek, Tom Spencer. Live on BSN

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
