Do riders need "sick notes" or can they just say not well i aint coming,if a note is needed does it have anytime limits on it?

Yes, they need proof for an injury. If they are "unwell" it's an automatic 7 day break from racing.

Sedgeman was head and shoulders over everyone from the gate, due to the rain gating was so so important. Personally i thought the meeting should've been halted till the rain passed over and then try to sort the track out. 

James Pearson looks like a good little rider considering he's probably not raced in conditions as they were, fair play to Nick Morris too who was trying bloody hard..

Adam who ??? :D

Credit to our riders (plus Tom Brenan), Oxford must be poor ?....can't comment as I wasn't there.

I predict that Oxford will call on Ryan Douglas tonight?

Fair play to Sedgeman who may have finally realised he's in last chance saloon in UK and needs to apply the talent he's always had.

It was a greasy track that suited gaters and he made a start every race. We shouldn't heap pressure on him to do that every week, if he scores 7 or 8 points its job done.

First visit to Oxford since the late 80's. Good Crowd, appreciative home support too who don't just seem to be there to see the Team win with some good banter.

Restored my faith a little and I may have found a second home of sorts as although a longer trip, with likely traffic chaos around PB worsening if I get a clear run down m42 and 40 its not that much worse than sitting on m6 Car park every Wednesday.

The new track shape at Cowley is excellent and like the way they've moved the Pits and made it visible and not hidden away.

Travelling from Warwick...it could become my second home too ....I'm just waiting for all the fuss to die down and as soon as I can pay on the gate, I'll be making the trip.

I also went in the 80's when they had Nielsen and our Andy! :t:

I think it is a measure of how well things have gone at Oxford this season (results excepted) that this positive comment comes after what was easily the worst meeting so far (both in terms of crowd and racing entertainment).

Sedgemen Jesus Christ. All this negative energy and now joy! Fair play to him proving alot people wrong and I hope he can continue that form. 

That's the key, one swallow doesn't make a summer after all. Hopefully he'll improve his average at least.
