And Suffolk too! 63 miles for me but other commitments mean I haven't been so far this year

Newman was very, very sore last night and in a great deal of discomfort. Speaking to KN1 last night, it appears Kyle has something of a rather delicate injury, and I wouldn't have thought riding a bike with all of those vibrations would be a good idea at all, and probably bloody painful too! Kyle has pulled out of the Plymouth match on Friday, so don't think there's anything dodgy going on there, well, not as far as Kyle's withdrawal is concerned!

The pits would get very crowded...

No offence to Dale Allitt, who I am sure will do a fine job on Thursday, but wouldn't it be wonderful if P'boro got Phil Hilton to be their stand-in Team Manager on Thursday?

How on earth did Lanham score all his points? :/

Not sure anyone can with a great deal of certainity; some riders just perform better in one league than another for all sorts of varying reasons. Poole do also have a history of getting the best out of a rider points wise.

Not sure that is certain. It definitely looks like Watt will be one of the reserves, but he could be joined by pretty much anyone. Ellis' maximum last week means he's far from certain to stay down at reserve - assuming of course I read the rulebook correctly.

Friday's planned 4TT meeting has been postponed.

I think Castagna will be more of a slow burner. Currently, he's a little too cautious, and probably needs to be a bit more attacking on the track and with the set-ups. Am sure it will come, just will likely require patience.

Sounds like a positive meeting tonight

I would have thought both teams would be desperate to get it on. King's Lynn because of Iversen and Belle Vue because they need to get some competitive racing under their belt

3 days

One would presume that Peterborough would be moved into the Southern group if no hero can be found in Devon? Ipswich is geographically more 'southern' but would imagine moving a side who have yet to have a meeting would be easier.

Rye House now at Somerset on Friday

Not even the riders knew, so would have thought it was unlikely. Rotten news for everyone involved. What an absolutely dreadful week for British Speedway

Apparently Wilkinson has a small 'brake'( ) to the collarbone, but is planning on riding Thursday

Morris appears to be named @ 2 for the meeting, so I guess he's not riding at Somerset? From Facebook: Betard Sparta Wrocław 1. Tai Woffinden, 2. Nick Morris, 3. Szymon Woźniak, 4. Tomasz Jędrzejak, 5. Maciej Janowski, 6. Maksym Drabik, 7. Damian Dróżdż, 8. Adrian Gała MANAGER: Piotr Baron

The different coloured kevlars almost look like green and yellow from a distance.

Rules on concussion have also been changed. There are different rules for 3 different agegroups now.

Used to happen to Ermolenko quite frequently from memory

Aren't Swindon already riding that night? Puzzling!

Is the legendary Tommy Stange returning?!

With averages being released more frequently, I think it's worth the risk of seeing what the averages are like when Batchelor does return. With several riders returning from injury, the first set of averages may provide more scope for changes. I'm sure Iversen wouldn't mind doing some extra meetings at the start of season before it gets busy on the continent.

Foxhall slick? Tungate would love it if he was, but it wasn't much to his dismay, and at times he was rather vocal about it, too!

Tungate is one of those frustrating riders; when he's good, he's very good. When he's bad, he can be incredibly frustrating. He had a couple of pitiful away showings last season @ Sheffield and Glasgow from memory. Did seem to get some good engines under him towards the end of last season, so think his home form will be okay once dialled in, he may well be a mixed bag away from home though. Can be prone to a strop or 12, so he and Rosco will either get on perfectly, or there will be fireworks!
