If you need to be a genius to understand it, just imagine how hard it was to produce a 'user friendly' Spreadsheet for it!

Blimey, that was a quick meeting!

I think you will find that it is the Race Director, Morris, who calls the shots.

There were many matches on ITV. Coventry Cradley always a spicy affair.

Harris & Worrall are in the 8 man squad, so could be used.

Maybe they will once the win is mathematically certain?

All credit to the FIME for producing a format where riders meet all of the others in their 13 Rider group. But the downside of the format means that Seth Norman will not get his first race until race 12, (The two groups feature in alternate races) and two of his group will have already had 3 of their 4 qualifying races.

33 is not a female rider (Norma Seth), it's Seth Norman.

Max Fricke had also done Heat 13.... He didn't need extra time.

The overall consensus of opinion seems to differ from yours. Iversen only just beat the two minutes exclusion, and then proceeded to ignore the Referee and Start Marshall prompts to be ready to race. How long should he have been given? Another minute..two minutes...?

Playing Devil's Advocate here. In my working career I was trained by Rolls Royce (a GREAT company to work for BTW) as an apprentice and paid a wage whilst doing so. Similar to a NL rider. At the end of my apprenticeship, I was taken on as a full time machinist and paid a great deal more than my apprenticeship wage. Similar to NL rider progressing to be a CL and/or PL rider. If another company offered me, (now with a young family to support), a vastly increased wage to induce me to leave RR would I have changed jobs? Of course I would. Wouldn't you?

I believe the draw for the PL Pairs may be done live during this broadcast.

It's quite easy to keep track of it via a Spreadsheet.... trust me! You can even get a copy of a similar Spreadsheet to the one the BSPA use from www.kandysoft.com.

It's not bad grub for a franchise pub. Have used it a few times.

So how is that the SCB's fault?

There were 4 ladies scheduled for both the Edinburgh (3rd June) and Workington (4th June) meetings.

14 camera changes in Heat 2!

Not in UK, just have to be on track and heading towards the start.

The same has been said by many people, many times! The two minutes rule as per FIM should have been adopted years ago. Not ready to race as the clock ticks down to zero...excluded!

It's actually reverted back to 20 for this year. Most riders started with their last 10 from 2022 in their Rolling Average. Riders like Schlein for example, who didn't compete in 2022, have their previous season 20 meeting Rolling Average stats in their starting average this year.

Looking at the replay Edwards was guilty of rolling off the throttle just before the finish line.

I'm more than happy to be proved wrong, but , noting that the regs you posted above says (except FIM Speedway Grand Prix world championship series) can you show the actual regulation that says a race cannot be awarded. I can't see it in my copy.

10.19 Finish of a heat The finish of a heat shall occur in the case of any of the following circumstances. a) when the front part of the front wheel of the motorcycle (whilst attached to the machine) passes over the finishing line after completing the appropriate number of laps provided the competitor is in contact with his motorcycle. b) when the referee has awarded the heat as provided for in these regulations. c) if the referee has cause to stop a heat after the leading rider has passed the start/finish line to commence the last lap, the referee has the sole discretion to award the heat based upon the positions of the competitors at the time the heat was caused to be stopped. The disqualified rider will be awarded no points and any competitors behind the disqualified riders will advance one place. d) where racing incidents etc. have reduced the riders available to take part in the rerun of any heat to a single competitor, the referee may award the appropriate number of points to the remaining competitor without the need for a further rerun.
