I can’t remember Arrnio having a decent meeting at Lynn. Makes me wonder why Ipswich picked him to guest tonight.

Bag of chips and a tenner in petrol

Awful guests for Ipswich, wonder who picked them - hope Heeps soon recovers.

Would he have done any better? I'm not so sure,, he didn't exactly smash the scores in for the stars last year,, and this year's form doesn't look any better

Heeps might have got a point.....BUT not the 18 required to sneak a point for Ippo tonight

Bit better from Batch. Probably would have gone close with Riss and Starke in there rather than the woeful guests.

Wasn’t just Heeps missing though was it. Starke hit paid 16 here last season and Riss has started the season very well. Both big misses tonight. Not that it mattered a great deal.

Performances for Leicester have been alarming. Ipswich got rid of the wrong reserve from 2021.

It's a puzzle, he looks fast enough and has a good style but just can't get out of the gate and looks tentative behind other riders. Was as fast as Worrall in heat 14 but kept hesitating into the bends which gave him no chance to pass.

Josh Pickering was sensational again, his race with and pass of Doyle in heat 9 was top drawer.

Rowe looked very good for his age at Somerset, but  not pushing on

I would have said he doesn't have a great style,,, right elbow way too high,,, you don't see any top riders do that,, and I'm guessing there is a pretty simple reason why.

Agree, the only rider i have seen with elbow that high is Hans Andersen

Josh Pickering to me is everything you want see from a rider.Balls of steel,a never say die attitude,and a great showman who loves to get the crowd involve.Like i said last week thanks Sheffield.

What i now don't understand though is,the Lynn track has had plenty of criticism over the years about the lack of racing.But how come one rider can make it look a great track.So is it the lack of riders now that are willing to give it a go rather than the track being poor.
