Interesting. BWD not riding because he's riding in a FIM qualifier in Denmark on Saturday. Tero Aarnio guests in his place then flies to ITALY! to ride in a FIM qualifier also on Saturday (before flying back to Newcastle on Sunday. 

Need to question someone's commitment to the team here (even if it is allowed under the rules). 

It’s nothing to do with commitment. His 28 day temporary signing has ended.

Noticed BWD banged in a 12+1 for Swindon tonight, gonna be a very big loss to us that scoring power, hope Mason is locked and loaded for his return, he's got big points to score? :unsure:

I think you will find that was AGAINST Swindon!! :rolleyes:

He is back as a Rebel this season and a very good one at that! 

 

On the subject of this match I reckon Jake will finally get a maximum for Scunny.

In the end, a comfortable victory for Scunny... but at what cost? Hopefully Gino ain't too badly hurt, hoping for good news and wishing him all the best.

Bit of a bruising encounter... First Auty/Lunna.... then Lunna (again)/Manzares.. and Danny Phillips x3 ...all in the wars. The meeting seemed to drag, but that's speedway, can't be helped when these incidents occur.  Withdrawals from Manzares (Coccyx injury?) and Lunna (Don't know of injury, but poor lad probably had no bikes left) ..Hope all injured parties heal soon. 

As for the racing.. After the first few processional heats the quality improved no end.. There was four or five real quality heats and some very hard fought racing. Scunny deserved winners, despite another fantastic effort from Tero Aarnio.  Expected a bit more from Proctor and Klindt.

Just a little mention for Danny Phillips...  Tried too hard tonight and paid the cost, can't fault the lad for effort.. a little more patience and one day it'll just click... stick in there Danny... there's a good score coming.

Forget about the result last night ,it's time to appreciate the riders of all clubs for providing us with entertainment and putting there bodies on the line for us . Wishing Gino  and Nike a speedy recovery as at one stage it looked far worse then what the two riders have been diagnosed ,hoping to see you both back on the shale very soon
