I just started to read it... but lost interest, sorry, it's quite long isn't it

I take it that this qualifying session is fastest lap gets first pick of rider number? If so it's completely pointless as the track is gone after the first 3 sets of quali already. Surely they should aggregate the times or average them after the completion of all of the quali sessions. Or a knock out format like F1, this current format just doesn't work for me

From what I saw of Gilmour last season Stewart Dickson would do a better job if he donned a race suit himself!

Match of the season

Stonking cup tie that!

Drop them a line and ask for an audition, and it is "it's" not "its"

What's up with Rowe? Do we know?

I keep hearing what a great race track Redcar is, I've only been once back in 2019 to see Leicester and the track was wet, I've seen a steamed match on the BSN earlier this year and that was pretty dull, so I'm hoping it can live up to its hype tonight in what should be perfect conditions against some decent opposition as otherwise it seems like a pretty decent setup at Redcar

I thought they showed the rider speeds and reaction times etc on the Polish coverage also

I stand corrected, thanks for the info, good to know

you know the distance between where ever the transponder is fitted on the bike and you know the speed the bike is doing (thanks to the transponder) so it's all easily calcuable

I thought as much... there does seem to be a common denominator

Oh dear... I appear to be blocked from Lions Twitter

You got a link?

The way that buggy goes up and down after a match barging its way through the packed leaving crowd sometimes makes me wonder whether the driver is looking to create some punters to ferry up and down the following week. It's pretty dangerous imo

Most clubs can't regularly field 7 riders so there's no chance of having 2 Paramedics and 2 Ambulances in place... unless they can operate P/R, or a guest replacement from the NHS

That may very well be true... not as funny though

If Sam's instructions on track layout and design were anything like his TV commentary it's no wonder the track turned out like it did

How many of the previous failed promotions has Mr Rogers been involved in do you know?

Is there anybody in the new Brum promotion that has been a promoter before other than Rogers?

I also think the better quality of rider that is now participating in the CL has helped, the lesser ability riders still tend to struggle to get around BP comfortably

It turns out that this particular turd can be polished... the racing so far this season has in general been excellent! I don't think Newcastle are going to server up any entertainment at any away track this season tbh... ask your friend about Heat 15, that was a great race! Hopefully when the cubs get some meetings under their belts the twins will be a little more consistent and gain some confidence as they get more track time... I don't know if he's eligible but it looks as though Anders Rowe may also benefit from some cub time

Some cracking Speedway racing again at BP last night, with the exception of the Newcastle match (and maybe the Birmingham match I don't know, I didn't go) there has been some really entertaining Speedway at Leicester this season so far and even the last race against Newcastle was a great race. So credit where it's due to the riders and the track staff, whatever they're doing is working a treat!
