Crikey watching a speedway rider shut the throttle off half way down every straight.

What is all that about Jack Smith?.

Looked in the mix until other riders were around him, NL standard at best, must be sapping any confidence he had, Rosco not doing him any favours by sticking by him.

He needs to go simple as that. Get Max Clegg in, could do no worse.

It's at the referees discretion weather or not he penalises the remaining rider , if he decides his teammate was trying to gain an advantage by staying down

15.8.1 If the Referee stops a heat, following an incident or accident, where the rider causing the stoppage and his team partner were in third and fourth place and a re-run is called with one of those riders excluded, the Referee has the sole discretion to order that the remaining team partner will start on a 15 metre handicap in gate position c or d (the opposing team does not change positions).

And that shouldve be invoked

Bellego was already 50 metres behind - awful decision

Nothing in the reg about staying down to gain an advantage

From the 2018 regulations

 

15.8.1 If the Referee stops a heat, following an incident or accident, where the rider causing the stoppage and his team partner were in third and fourth place and a re-run is called with one of those riders excluded, the Referee has the sole discretion to order that the remaining team partner will start on a 15 metre handicap in gate position c or d (the opposing team does not change positions).

Fair call then given Wright locked up a little...

Not as if Morris fell completely by himself a big distance away from second..

Dust is terrible. You can see riders backing off when they get hit by the cloud of it.

The track is appalling . Don't care what you say about the weather. Once again shows how amateur our sport is. To have this much dust after two heats is a disgrace.

Is there a water ban in the Swindon area

What a joke, 38 minutes in and only two races. 

Imagine watching this on TV as a newbie to the sport. 

Why don't you offer your track prep experience then.

 Didn’t think it would be possible to outdo the Leicester V Poole meeting from last week, but Swindon v Leicester is already in front with racing diabolical. Track is massively underwatered.

Poole v BV was also raced in similar temps but we didn’t see any dust all night.

It's rubbish, but sometimes the riders moan if it's watered, it's always the fans who lose out, and go home with different colour hair than they went out with, should have been watered immediately before heat 1.
