Heat 4 Jenkins showing king how to do it! Nice work. I’m worrying about Ellis and king for our chances to win.

King has not beaten an opponent in 3 rides. That's not good...

This just shows we shouldn’t be worried about Sheffield … no number one and his rides get only 5…… and the Holder brothers can’t ride Foxhall and are usually shown up by Pickering who gives 110% every time at our place 

Win or lose tonight I’m more worried about Belle Vue then Sheffield

It just seemed that emil clipped the back straight fence before entering the corner , and like others are saying the dirt is piled up high he hits that and he can’t straighten up in time.  
Just one of those unfortunate things. Hope he is ok and back racing soon.

Texter on updates seem to think it was the way the track was with the dirt piled too high which could be down to grading but I guess they are not expert on these matters. Fingers crossed for the riders. 

''Awful, narrow, dangerous track''

They certainly didn't seem impressed with it...

Thoughts with our man Emil. Be it the track or that he clipped the fence before the corner, one thing is for certain, he is a true rider and wasn’t backing out of fighting for the win for Ipswich. So so so so gutted for ipswich, the season and how it will now end… but more importantly Emil. If we don’t win anything this season so be it… I’m still super proud of having two of the most dedicated and loyal riders. Emil and Doyle. (Ps also was a great meeting until then).

Why is Jack Holder such a spoilt brat, didn't even acknowledge Emil when Emil beat him, could learn a lot from his brother 

Jack certainly showed concern after the crash and went straight over to Emil.

You have to question whether some of the tracks are suitable for today’s bikes or should the sport in the UK take a look at what is safe and suitable in terms of machinery for the available tracks. It is clearly not one size fits all and bikes that ride well on the big tracks in Poland are probably not suitable for the technical UK tracks which then begs the question, is it time that the machinery was standardised so that it is rider skill and not power of a bike that makes a good rider.
