I don't think Danyon has much control over where he is going and doesn't go in the same place very often,, so Doyle was probably very apprehensive of passing him

But did everything he could to pass his team mate on the last bend to rob him of a point, point is he didn't need to do it

Doyle wast gonna get passed Tobi in Ht1, it’s the kerb line or nothing early doors, should have sat behind and protected Hulme, being on a guarantee it’s not like he needed the extra £ by passing Hulme on 4th bend of last lap. The strop in the pits afterwards was quite funny though

I think he was annoyed that Hume got in his way, particularly in the first lap (Hume never looked around), so wanted to prove his point on the final bends.

It was a 3-3 so Hume got 1* instead of 2 - in the old days that was paid the same was it not? Regardless Danyon has on occasion this year baulked his own team mates who might have done a better job at overtaking the opposition.

Wasn't at the meeting - people saying trap 2 was bobbins first five heats 0 points - always used to be gate 3 years back. I do think Owlerton would benefit (if possible) from some track widening - do they still use the pitch in the centre? I played football on there probably about 15 years go now maybe longer

Bellego been terrible but Ellis also has been rubbish most of the season - Sheff should look at replacing both of them if they want to go for the title. 

Think bellago has gone, he had a talk with stead and bates after the meeting

If he has he had a great ride to win heat 14 last night, and he definitely didn't gate

I seem to recall hearing that, several years ago, Neil Machin wanted to do this, but was refused permission

I agree, if they pull the kerb in on the corners a few meters.

Ok interesting - be a shame really as from my memory the Rugby team no longer play there and it hasn’t hosted football for some time! 
 

Foxhall has been a better race track (particularly with Doyle about) since they made the adjustments a few years back

Rugby team played there about ten years ago, but didn't like it, as pitch already too narrow.

They now play at Olympic Legacy Park, so no chance of them wanting to return.

Of course they do yes - they had a stint in the DV before they demolished it -

More than likely just another excuse for his poor form. 

Check out his Instagram post from may 29th. His hand went into the back wheel of another bike in a crash. 

He still can’t move his some fingers properly.
