It just screams an accident waiting to happen, I know riders want to keep sharp over the winter but racing on that is beyond stupid. What do you think is wrong with the track?

Yes they did in Kings Lynn v Poole league match, after a couple of incidents on the first bend, Batchelor withdrew with a very minor injury to his hand which recovered quickly enough to ride in his next scheduled meeting and Holder refused to ride because of what he considered was an unsafe track. Worth pointing out both riders were riding for Kings Lynn at the time and his brother Jack rode the track well, Poole went on to win the meeting.

Obviously time will tell To be fair to you, it seems talks have taken place, but didn't realise they had progressed to the stage they were still ongoing with Emil, so many rumours, but on previous replies to you on this Emil topic saying it was false, I will say talks have taken place, but that's as far as I heard Louis had got. On Worrall, who knows, on Keynan Rew, devastating for the lad, hope it isn't as bad as first thought, but he will surely now have to be replaced, which complicates things even more, but Connor Mountain surely comes into Louis's plans at some point.

That picture only shows a very small part of the opposite bend to the one where the crash was. If you view the full bend, you’ll see that there is loads of run off space. The track is also used for moto x or flat track racing and they use the full size. As far as the crash is concerned, from the commentary, I take it Rew is in yellow. If that’s the case, I doubt an inflatable barrier would have made any difference as it wasn’t hitting the fence that caused any injuries. It was the way he laid the bike down. The impact would have been the same had he hit either the existing fence or an inflatable barrier. In my opinion Edited December 17, 2022 by Wee Eck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion I suggest you watch it again, he follows his bike into a wooden fence, that’s what’s caused the injury, to say an air fence wouldn’t have helped is ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my memory serves me right he rode the next day as a guest and i think he top scored. Rule No.1.

Tungate isn’t in the side but they have Andersen for sure. So it’s either Craig cook or Richie worrall Tungate is in the side. It's either Worrall or Andersen for the last spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
