Does sneezing count as a Speedway injury? Killeen has just aggravated a rib injury with a sneeze 🤧

I'm here... usual Bank Holiday crowd, probably a few more (especially in the south stand) due to the weather and the opponents being Sheffield 👍🏻

Well, heat 1 was a cracker!

So is it Howarth?

Well, come on who are we talking about, it must be Thomson or Howarth as the other guests were different for each match. Didn't Howarth let Edinburgh down the other week opting to go to Worky instead?

PhilTheTease!

What about Lemo's Hotpot in the Peter Craven suite? Followed by Pie & Mushy Peas in the Panaroomaram in the evening? Opportunity missed 🤷‍♂️

Well, I'm going, it's going to be a beautiful day, so why not 😎

The clock on the screen must have been wrong then I'm sure it said he had 15 or so seconds left 🤷‍♂️

What? Doyley celebrating like he'd won a 2nd world title? 😂

What happened with Puk there in 13?

Blödorn wins the Auerhahnpokal in Teterow ahead of Sajfutdinow and Thorssell. However, a nasty incident took place. Following a crash, Blödorn apparently kicked Mario Häusl, who was lying on the track.

SHEFFIELD: Jack Holder, Anders Rowe, Chris Holder, Leon Flint, Josh Pickering, Jye Etheridge, Luke Killeen. BELLE VUE: Brady Kurtz, Kye Thomson, Kyle Howarth, Zach Cook, Niels-Kristian Iversen, Tate Zischke, Will Cairns.

BELLE VUE: Brady Kurtz, Kye Thomson, Kyle Howarth, Zach Cook, Jaimon Lidsey, Tate Zischke, Will Cairns. SHEFFIELD: Jack Holder, Anders Rowe, Chris Holder, Leon Flint, Josh Pickering, Jye Etheridge, Luke Killeen. Not a bad Aces line up all things considered 👍🏻

Come on, I'm going to have to take my medicine this morning... just don't got OTT 🙏 😂

Well why didn't somebody just say this 😉 I'm not going to lie... it still makes my head hurt especially when it comes to the final GP when it's all settled. I probably need to lay off the alcohol when I'm watching it I obviously need all my wits about me and my full attention!

Hang on a minute... am I misunderstanding this? If I finish with 5 heat points and qualify for LCQ1 and you finish with 11 points and qualify for LCQ2 and we both finish 2nd in our respective LCQ's you get 1 more point on the basis that you outscored me in the heat qualifiers?

I think some clubs saw it as a battle of the haves and have nots... but here we are some 30 years later in the same position only with half the tracks still running!

It's not difficult to understand at all... but it's not better to finish 4th than 6th, 8th or 9th in the qualifiers as this puts you in LCQ2 with less points on offer. Your destiny is in your own hands finishing 1st to 4th in the overall meeting, whereas 5th to 10th seems to be a bit of a lottery.

So you're better to finish 3rd, 6th, 8th or 9th in the heats than 4th, 5th, 7th or 10th because that'll put you in LCQ1 where the points for finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th in that race is 1 point more than it is in LCQ2. Finish 4th in the heats and you're in LCQ2 finish 9th and you're in LCQ1... finish 2nd in either and 4th highest race points scorer gets 11 points and 9th highest gets 12 🤷‍♂️ But then you could finish 10th in the heats and win the bloody thing... I'm sorry it's just wrong in my book. I think I'd just prefer it if the same points were awarded for finishing 2nd, 3rd & 4th in the LCQ's. Ideally they'd be racing each other for the points but that doesn't seem to be the way these days. Good GP tonight though for what it was 👍🏻

Tyre blow out of the season award? 🤔

The choice of guest is so limited these days thanks to the size of the league, who's going to guest for Bewley? Irreplaceable really, maybe Fricke, but realistically it's going to be the likes of Masters, Brennan, Cook, King or Harris etc.

Didn't see Lemo in the Prague pits tonight 😂

I'll grant you, you do need a degree in rocket science to understand this 5h1t... but really it's better to be appearing in LCQ1 than it is LCQ2 no matter what you've scored in the hearts because you just get a chance to score an extra point more for finishing 2nd, 3rd or 4th than you would finishing in the same race position in LCQ2.
