Hopefully we've seen the last of them... they added very little, if anything.

When Phil gets out of his FIM meetings

There's many factors to take into consideration though, not least the track, there was a hell of an outside line there last night for those that there brave enough to use it... but when you're at Cardiff, Riga, Prague or Vojens the gate pick will be far more important

Thanks! I think it shows that there's no real difference in scoring systems, it's just that one is a hell of a lot easier to work out come crunch time than the other. And Zmarzlik's season was nowhere near as bad as some were making it out to be... he had one duffer Pts 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Total Pts Diff New Rank Rank Diff 1 Bartosz Zmarzlik 179 14 15 17 17 17 16 7 11 14 17 13 158 -21 1 0 2 Robert Lambert 144 12 12 11 12 14 4 14 13 11 15 7 125 -19 2 0 3 Fredrik Lindgren 141 11 7 4 14 8 17 13 15 14 4 12 119 -22 3 0 4 Daniel Bewley 127 5 9 11 5 9 7 15 10 15 10 13 109 -18 5 1 5 Martin Vaculik 122 6 14 8 20 6 10 9 17 8 11 8 117 -5 4 -1 6 Jack Holder 106 18 11 13 6 14 9 11 6 2 4 11 105 -1 6 0 7 Mikkel Michelsen 101 7 8 15 9 10 15 12 11 0 87 -14 8 1 8 Dominik Kubera 98 8 2 13 11 10 4 12 6 6 9 14 95 -3 7 -1 9 Leon Madsen 94 9 2 10 6 5 13 7 7 9 13 81 -13 9 0 10 Andzejs Lebedevs 79 5 6 5 8 11 7 14 11 4 71 -8 10 0 11 Max Fricke 69 13 16 5 5 6 12 8 4 69 0 11 0 12 Kai Huckenbeck 61 11 9 5 2 3 10 3 4 8 4 3 62 1 12 0 13 Szymon Wozniak 58 6 9 8 7 7 9 3 1 4 3 2 59 1 13 0 14 Maciej Janowski 52 3 9 10 11 14 7 54 2 14 0 15 Jan Kvech 52 6 5 0 3 2 7 3 3 7 5 11 52 0 15 0 16 Jason Doyle 24 12 20 9 41 17 16 0 17 Patryk Dudek 23 11 14 25 2 17 0 18 Tai Woffinden 9 3 6 8 1 4 3 25 16 17 -1 19 Rasmus Jensen 8 9 9 1 20 1 20 Kim Nilsson 7 2 7 1 10 3 19 -1 21 Anders Thomsen 6 7 7 1 21 0 22 Oskar Fajfer 4 5 5 1 22 0 23 Tom Brennan 4 4 4 0 23 0 24 Vaclav Milik 3 4 4 1 23 -1 25 Daniil Kolodinski 3 3 3 0 26 1 26 Mateusz Cierniak 2 3 3 1 26 0 27 Norick Blodorn 2 1 1 -1 28 1 28 Matej Zagar 1 4 4 3 23 -5

I wonder if Aussie were in the running and WBD pulled the plug again?

I would have thought you could rent hotel rooms by the hour near Belle Vue 😂

I went to Parken a couple of times and some of the sights I saw with folk the worse for wear for drink... one lad bouncing down the steps on his arse carrying one of them drinks holders with 6 pints in it because he lost his footing as he couldn't control his legs! While I agree, as a purist, it's about the racing and competition you can't deny that a weekend in Copenhagen is a far better prospect than a weekend somewhere near Vojens... Skol 🍻

Just a bit of fun... pick the bones out of this: Pts 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Total Pts Diff New Rank Rank Diff 1 Bartosz Zmarzlik 179 14 15 17 17 17 16 7 11 14 17 13 158 -21 1 0 2 Robert Lambert 144 12 12 11 12 14 4 14 13 11 15 7 125 -19 2 0 3 Fredrik Lindgren 141 11 7 4 14 8 17 13 15 14 4 12 119 -22 3 0 4 Daniel Bewley 127 5 9 11 5 9 7 15 10 15 10 13 109 -18 5 1 5 Martin Vaculik 122 6 14 8 20 6 10 9 17 8 11 8 117 -5 4 -1 6 Jack Holder 106 18 11 13 6 14 9 11 6 2 4 11 105 -1 6 0 7 Mikkel Michelsen 101 7 8 15 9 10 15 12 11 0 87 -14 8 1 8 Dominik Kubera 98 8 2 13 11 10 4 12 6 6 9 14 95 -3 7 -1 9 Leon Madsen 94 9 2 10 6 5 13 7 7 9 13 81 -13 9 0 10 Andzejs Lebedevs 79 5 6 5 8 11 7 14 11 4 71 -8 10 0 11 Max Fricke 69 13 16 5 5 6 12 8 4 69 0 11 0 12 Kai Huckenbeck 61 11 9 5 2 3 10 3 4 8 4 3 62 1 12 0 13 Szymon Wozniak 58 6 9 8 7 7 9 3 1 4 3 2 59 1 13 0 14 Maciej Janowski 52 3 9 10 11 14 7 54 2 14 0 15 Jan Kvech 47 6 5 0 3 2 7 3 3 7 5 11 52 5 15 0 16 Jason Doyle 24 12 20 9 41 17 16 0 17 Patryk Dudek 23 11 14 25 2 17 0 18 Tai Woffinden 9 3 6 8 1 4 3 25 16 17 -1 19 Rasmus Jensen 8 9 9 1 20 1 20 Kim Nilsson 7 2 7 1 10 3 19 -1 21 Anders Thomsen 6 7 7 1 21 0 22 Oskar Fajfer 4 5 5 1 22 0 23 Tom Brennan 4 4 4 0 23 0 24 Vaclav Milik 3 4 4 1 23 -1 25 Daniil Kolodinski 3 3 3 0 26 1 26 Mateusz Cierniak 2 3 3 1 26 0 27 Norick Blodorn 2 1 1 -1 28 1 28 Matej Zagar 1 4 4 3 23 -5

They were pretty dangerous with guns!

Alderly Edge!!! You're paying him far too much!

So, eventually you've resorted to name calling AceBelle(end)

The boot that stopped him riding... in Britain

It's the legendary protective boot 👢

He don't need a holiday either as he took half the summer off 🥾

Our Captain doesn't miss matches... unlike other Captains 🤔

All your Aussies will probably be clearing off home early after that too 🛫👋

Those 30 people in that stand (for 1 night) will never know how influential they were 😂

So, by my calculations it'll be about £16,666 per ticket!

It's a good job that the flights and hotels that I booked for Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney & Perth for every weekend in October 2025 came with free cancellation! ✈️🏨🎟️🦘

Yes... some of them ride pretty extreme for ones so young. Dan Thompson looked like a real steady Eddy in that company, will be interesting to see which ones of this crop go on to make it to the SGP series.

Get Belle Vue security on the job! They'll root out any bombs... cherry bombs or cola cubes

Just listened to him on the pod... confident lad ain't he.

Ancient history 👴 Pay off history shows the Aces to be bottle jobs 😉

No... a half million pound temporary stand with 30 people in it will do just fine 👌

Well... since the introduction of the pay offs in 2002 BV have proven themselves to be habitual losers, you've made 5 appearances and only won 1. Lions on the other hand 2 finals (at CL level) won 1 lost 1 (at KL!). So by my calculations Lions have a 50% success rate, while the Aces have an 80% failure rate... so maybe you do win the percentages 😁
