Personally I think rising stars in the event should be graded and race against each other ie Brennan v Mountain in one race etc. I reckon a pairs event should have your best pair in every hear. Taking a RS with you makes sense for tape exclusions or injuries. But I guess it'd be harder to get them to travel for no races! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the teams should be made to track their RS in the first heats, tracks at its best, everybody's first ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans would no doubt complain that the best rider was only used 4 times! For some teams it's obvious, others not so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go on the averages, pull out the highest averaged rider, surely you've got to give them half a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Ipswich deserved that considering Sheffield were handed at least a dozen points on a silver platter by the oppositions team managers when they put the rising star up against the Sheffield pair in almost race. Surprising night for the Wolves pair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the point in the rising star being forced to be used? Fair enough have them on stand by in case of injuries but it’s a stupid decision to have them be forced to be used. A pairs meeting… where you have to use 3 riders 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickH114 Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Seemed a bit strange that both Belle Vue & then Sheffield took gates 2 & 4 in the last 2 races, I’m sure Musielak was 2nd in the final & not Ellis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siggytastic Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Agree that Ellis was last in the final and minor whinge but the scorecard was poor with nowhere to record the actual winners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no encouragement to attend Foxhall next week and watch gate and go speedway the ref is clearly blind as well if he thought Hans fell entirely in his own Totally agree about the BSN stream first time I’ve used last night paid £42 for 5 meetings is great value- streaming meetings is definitely the way forward for clubs a seasons pass for our fav clubs would be a great idea - with the cost of admission and travel costs and everything else going up in price watching from home is a great option . That said can’t beat attending any sport live . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the only way to liven the place up is by having riders make mistakes. When they generally don't make mistakes it really can be dull.

Surprising night for the Wolves pair. Just really surprised with them picking Ryan Douglas. He spent most of the night demonstrating that he can hardly ride the place. Maybe he should have been commentating and given his place to Sam Master's usual partner? But that would probably ruin the Aussie love fest at Wolves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
