Three races into the season...

Based on the last two years..

A gradual decline sets in, eg Magic and Dudek.

All very willing but turning around a downward trajectory is very, very difficult..

Especially with so many young bucks coming through..

Many of whom will take risks that the more established riders wont anymore..

Hope I am wrong, but whem you start relying on wild cards it usually only goes one way..

Woffinden is a very talented rider and can still turn it on at the top level and he can certainly talk the talk but for me his body language on the bike says he doesn’t really want it enough,  his first ride he backed off going into first turn, did a cut back and then basically moved over to let lindgren through, that’s not the body language of a world champion

Same last year..

He often "talked the talk"..

But, I wondered who he was often trying to convince..

Himself or us..

What a race...

Jack Holder is a proper potential winner this year...

Has that arrogance needed...

And takes no prisoners...

I often think many GP riders over think the series, jack holder seems to just race the bike not the occasion and not the other riders and it’s pays results

Agreed, he’s our only chance of getting a different world champion this year not called Bartosz imo.

People moan about British tracks but look at some of the crap tracks we get in the GP's.

It’s absolutely tragic ain’t it. Gate and go stick to the one line and you’ll win. About time they just ripped the tracks up, have multiple lines and see who comes out on top.

Good to see lambert having a good night, hopefully he can break the duck

You get the feeling he would look Bartek in the eye and not be fazed..

And also not let him ride up the inside of him at the apex of any turn...!!

Bartek clipping his back wheel would not be a surprise..

Unlike many who basically "soil'" themselves and drift out and get their race ruined as they lock up, heading towards the fence..

Meeting seems a tad lifeless to me, finding it hard to engage with it all

Doesn't help when you get class riders off gate 4, and they move out to the dirt - and go backwards...

Reminds me somewhat of my home track Leicester. Move out and go backwards!

Is it just me or has the SGP series become horrifically stale? 

Apart from Lambert.I just can't engage with these rider's, they just bore me.

The whole thing needs a freshen up imo
