It isn't clear from that if we actually need to have a test before  we enter.

Do you know if it is required  Rob?

I agree it’s not written clearly, no test not currently needed. 

Think they done it that way in case government or council suddenly say tests are required.

Sadly the weather forecast not looking good

Doesn't look too bad to me, looks same as last few days mostly sunny with some showers, with the showers coming in the morning. 
Even if there was a late shower the Belle Vue track can take it no problem.

Funny how people's expectations have been lowered in the "premiership" 

2 "half decent"  teams which would be competitive in the championship.

If either that Belle Vue or Sheffield side was in the championship they would win it by a mile

Saddled with a "rising star" rabbit the Championship clubs have been made deliberately weaker, otherwise no differnece in reserves abilitiy.  Not sure too many PL riders who also ride in the championship would agree that there is "a mile" difference nowadays in the standard of rider.  The  PL "second strings " are all much the same and double up anyhow .....  £2 per person extra to watch them is probably about right given they are saving money on wages of GP sooperstars left (replaced by Batchelor and Kurtz in the above example !!! ) and he tracks have to spend extra money on hand sanitiser this season.

Still, with  the lower standard of rider comes more mistakes, more incidents and more excitement.

Adam Ellis appears to have had quite a week going by the tweet put up today

It appears to suggest he tested positive earlier in the week although a negative test has followed since

Must say I'm confused as I thought a positive test meant isolation and certainly not travelling back to the UK regardless of a subsequent test result being negative

Good to note he seems well which is most important and welcome

Bewley will be, he posted in Katowice airport at 1.53am so no reason the others shouldn’t be be.

Sheffield say Ellis wasn’t allowed to board last night due to his positive test so will be R/R
