The usual suspects going well and I'm biased with Ablitt and Hagon but Ashton Boughen looks a very good prospect for a 15 year old..

Yeah, no, for sure, Gilkes is impressive, he's just on BSN now saying he's never ridden Glasgow before for sure

Yeah, no, for sure... there's been some great Speedway racing from heat 1 through to heat 20 today for sure...

Why though in these events when the riders are allowed a new tyre does it take an eternity to fit them? All momentum is lost from the meeting for the sake of 2 races, just when the tension should be building... it's all lost. Why can't they have these tyres ready to use?

What a final! Yeah, no, for sure!

I thought Dan T had that in the bag, he just rode too conservative though, still a rostrum ain't bad and a good 2 fingers up to everybody that's dropped him this year! :t:

You think they would all have spare rear wheels with new tyres fitted just in case, wouldn’t you !

Get real.

Yeah, no, for sure... I'd expect that as soon as they knew they were through to the semi or final to start fitting their tyre, why does it take so very long to fit a tyre?

The tyre has to be authorised by the ref, then issued, then fitted preferably without nipping the tube, then inflated, then balanced, then fitted to the bike and chain aligned before final adjustment, in the pit bay with everyone waiting….clearly you have never fitted a speedway tyre.

Yeah, no, for sure, I've not no... they should have 4 tyres and wheels ready to use then surely, you've clearly never stood on the terraces waiting for the final 2 races
