At least with BWD, Bates and Barker in the team racing at OTA will be interesting and value for money.

Will be tough for the Rebels to build a good enough lead without the free-scoring Jake at home and Glasgow hitting form. Should be a thriller.

Jack Holder and Kyle Newman are usually good value around the OTA but I can't see the Rebels being troubled much.

Shame on the Plymouth management to in my view cynically delay racing by ordering a track inspection after heat 10. when the track was still race able and Jack Holder had just ripped round the track in a good time. Clearly the weather was going to get worse so we should have got at least a couple more races completed before calling it off. The fans miss out again. Luckily we got the 5-1 in the heat 11 lottery when the track was worse.

Looks like the weakest team I've seen assembled in a long time. The three assessed riders are unproven and will take a while to get used to PL tracks and no third heat leader. Expect some thrashings away and a lot more closer meetings at home. Can't see us winning anything with this team but at least the match scores and racing will be interesting at home.

Well done to the Tigers especially a huge points haul from Sargent and a max from Summers. I hope you can give the Monarchs a run for their money in the final. Once again the guests used by Somerset in the play offs have scored much less than expected.

A good battling win for the Rebs and an eight point lead is something to defend. Should have been more thanks to a very poor decision by the referee in heat 12. Cookie was sensational.

Rasmus was very impressive when he guested for us on a couple of occasions last season. Good signing.

It's sad that a rider had to go but you can understand the rebels management making the change at this time as we approach the business end of the season after a couple of really poor home performances. It was a toss up between Leigh and Ritchie. Worrall was probably saved due to his good away scores which may come in handy on the forthcoming northern tour and the play offs. However here we are in August and he still hasn't mastered the OTA . Thanks Leigh for some great racing.

Well done to the Devils who took maximum advantage of a bad day at the office for the rebels. The devils had their gating gloves on whilst the rebels had several tapes offences. This kick up the backside might turn out to be a good thing for the rebels come the business end of the season. The rebels have the chance to bounce back quickly tomorrow night.

Shocking decision and it sends a clear message that you can break the rules and still get away with it. Not a good day for the integrity of speedway.

Agree a big error by the bears manager. Somerset win 45-42

Well done to the witches they looked solid all night. A big shame that the final was spoiled again for the second year running and robbed the fans of a thrilling climax. Perhaps the bspa can look into approving just for the pairs a 15 metre handicap for tapes and rider error on the first bend for both semis and the final so that the fans still get some sort of race. Lasse Bierre still scored after coming from the back after his 15 metre handicap.

I don't know who should replace Benji but I'm sure we should be able to get someone who can achieve at least the minimum 3.00 CMA and not 1.14 which Benji roughly has achieved so far. He tries hard but is way off the pace at the home meetings I have seen.

Ben Barker riding the OTA is worth the admission money alone as he usually provides some great racing and fireworks!
