Diamonds85 Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Really feel for James, he's not really a rider I've followed much and don't know a lot about him, however it's awful seeing him so disappointed and worried about his health and progress, I would love to see him back on a bike, enjoying himself again asap, but I fear it'll be a long while before that happens again. The life of a speedway rider, who'd want it? Hope he recovers fast, and that he can be supported by the Ben Fund.

I would hardly call an extra 35 meters as 'twice the size'... I think the original poster was just referencing the speed of the tracks I guess?

Redcar 266 m Ashfield 302 m not a great difference, but Conner bailey gonna be riding for Workington and that track will be very similar to Redcar. So could be a benefit to both rider and club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to check your facts regarding “ twice the size”. Edited March 2, 2023 by Fromafar 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True I remember when Pizza Hut had those 18 inch pizzas always asked if you wanted it cut into 6 or 12 slices. I always got 6 as I don’t think I could’ve ate 12. 1 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yearbyred Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Was looking forward to going to practice tomorrow but not surprised it’s off. Looks like the Bears might have team race suits this year looking at Erik Riss on the BSN press day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I've never been a fan of race suits & always preferred race jackets (partly as it's easier to recognise the riders) I must admit the Bears race suits looked really smart! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Redcar have put a nice subtle touch on their race suits which helps with that issue. Each rider has a different colour just above their elbow to help differentiate the riders. Nothing massive, but a clever idea from whoever designed their race suits! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep as should the helmet colour, or the riders style etc etc. But those who don't like matching suits always say that telling riders apart can be difficult so it's a good idea from Redcar. And great that they have finally embraced team suits, BSN should be insisting on it if any teams aren't doing it this year (Brum?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you prefer an 8 team league all in race suits or a 9 team league with optional race suits? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well of course not but if most of their riders rock up for P&P in brand new kevs anyway then it's be a bit daft if they weren't all the same! Just think it should be a given by now.

Why would any rider choose to pay for a race suit in team colours over their own (especially when they could be dropped at any time and render said suit equally redundant). Would you walk into a tailors and select a bright pink suit just because everyone said they would by one..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
