Sir Sidney

You'd have to disqualify quite a few then as some had no race jackets at all. Certainly no standard racejacket for the meeting

I don't think so. He has scored well for Scunthorpe prior to this evening. Just in the wrong place - on the outside, first bend bunching, and would have been in the re run if not injured. He appeared to slide into the fence feet first, damaging his right leg.

I don't know. Did he get an established average at Glasgow last year? If so then I presume that would be converted to a Premiership average using the normal rules

Adam has a Polish Extra league average over 6, so, according to the regulations, would get an assessed average of 7.5

Oooo

https://britishspeedway.co.uk/miscellaneous/british-speedway-agm-statement-3/ The statement from the AGM only refers to the 'initial declaration '. I can't find anything in the Regulations that prevents a second signing over 8 after that

Although not the first woman to ride in the third tier. Jessica Lamb made a couple of appearances at Wimbledon, and possibly Plymouth

Dan Gilkes has already signed for Scunthorpe and scored 15, paid 18 from his first two meetings for them. That boat has sailed, other than for guest appearances

So still 2,000 or so. Not bad if that is the level it settles at

That would be a coup - and possibly the only other rider in the World that can replicate the excitement of a rider like Dan.

Surely his club should also have taken an interest to make sure the right paperwork was in place, given Cooper is only just 16 and in his first season in the league I am always amazed that clubs, and riders, are not fully conversant with the regulations. Mind you, it's not just speedway. I was at a talk this week where an international sport referee said that players in that sport regularly didn't know the laws

But, if you look at the video from behind, although Cooper's front wheel is turning left, his bike is still moving straight or to the right. He never comes in beyond mid track. If you look at the first lap Kye Thomson rides a similar line, albeit that he doesn't scrub off speed by over locking. Maybe Cooper was just following the line Kye took on the previous lap, thinking that was the racing line When people say 'what else could Luke have done' then look at the line Jody Scott took at the end of lap one to go inside Luke and much closer to the white line. I doubt anyone is going to change their mind about what happened and who caused it. Of course, these incidents happen in the blink of an eye. Given injuries to riders elsewhere over the last few days I am just glad that the injuries here appear relatively minor (although any concussion is not to be treated lightly)
