Your right. Only 6 riders on track walk

Maybe it is. I dont know 100%

If ever there was a rider who could win a semi final/last chance from the worst gate it's Zmarzlik. I don't think it disbenefits him at all. I think in all of his title wins he'd won a good few grand finals anyway. I don't think he's ever relied on his heat scores to win a title. As I say I think it was because they didn't like the concept of the winner of the grand final not being the top scorer on the night. Tbf there probably wasn't enough riding on making and winning the final in the old system. Didn't Loram win the title without winning a GP that season? That didn't bother me as he was the best rider over the season which is what the GP series was meant to reward as opposed to the old individual one off world final where a Szczakiel could end up being World Champion the only one day ever where he was the best rider in the world. So we've kind of gone from the jeopardy of the world champ being someone who was the best over 5 rides on one day, to a GP series which rewarded the rider who was consistently the best over the season, to this hybrid where you only have to be the best rider twice per gp across the series.

Says R/R on updates 🤷‍♂️

Its flint im told

He's not replying to you

How can you say that about heats 16 to 20 ? 11th gets 6 GP points 16th 1 GP point, which is a big difference !

Who do you have in mind? Paco has been pretty good at home and obviously isn't a fan of the Foxhole (our only away track ridden so far) so I'd not be wanting rid just yet. Just six last places today but only three heat winners and the associated poor gating (again) is a long way short of good enough. Reserves more than did their jobs but Max & Jan haven't reached the levels they are capable of so far and need to get that sorted ASAP. Cook and Harris decent as an engine room today but for those heat wins. Overall disappointing.

Highly rate the Lions and I can't see them losing a Home Meeting this season tbh. Think this will be Northampton's heaviest defeat yet tbh.

Haha we are not the Comets!

I thought it was going to be a lot closer tbh. Rob may have to think about replacing Kvech in a double change because he's very limited on who he can replace Paco with considering his GSA is so low imo. Granted the King's Lynn faithful are fans of Kvech, But at the end of the day, It's a Team game and it's clear that King's Lynn aren't going anywhere with the current 1-7. Back-to-Back 50-40 defeats at Foxhall and using a Tactical Ride on both occasions.

If you're going to use the qualifying heats to decide who comes 5th and 6th then why not just use the old system? If the current system is about awarding most points based on where you finished in the last three heats then the riders who finish 2nd in the semi's are equal 5th. Just cleaner to award both 12. They might actually have identical qualifying scores anyway. I also think that heats 16 to 20 in particular are a dead rubber for anyone not going to make the top 10. Where in the past winning your last heat meant 3 extra points to your championship total. Now winning your last heat might get you 1 extra championship point. Or if you're not going to make the top two but are going to make the top ten then your last qualifying heat doesn't matter especially if there's no great advantage in gate choice or you're not getting first pick. Doesn't really matter but I just feel that there was something riding on every heat for every rider under the old system.

I dont think so.

That's what I was saying too but when I thought about it, All it acheives is putting more pressure on Tom's shoulders @ No.1. With King riding the way he is, It takes the pressure of Brennan somewhat knowing that the No.2 is scoring 8/9 a meeting. Nicholls for me is now a carbon copy of Hans Andersen's last season with Peterborough and in the end he got replaced with a heavy heart, If Mayfield are serious about retaining the League then I don't think Nicholls will last much longer tbh. Be a shame to see it end on a sour note however it has to be taken into consideration that Scotty isn't likely to score a point around Belle Vue or Sheffield so if the struggles continue at Home on a track that he should be scoring well on, Then a replacement is inevitable imo.

Radio silence from Northamptoningham regarding Zagar... they catch on fast 😁

Castagna needs to be replaced, I know it’s early but it’s never that long before it’s too late 🤷🏻‍♂️ I know Harris and Cook have been a great partnership at home but I’d put Kvech at 3 and Harris at 5 too

Somehow we are having a great and terrible start to the season. We are quite used to bad luck at Shielfield unfortunately. Fingers crossed we can get some good guests as I’m not sure who could be a temporary replacement for either. But if there’s someone available the Berwick management will find them if last year is anything to go by.

What, for the reform or tory clowns? 14 years of their rule has left the country in tatters, and well done Nigel for brexit, what a disaster.

Wouldn’t have included them in the team in the first place

Can’t he move back to aussieland

Here it is problem solved for his number 2

Cant Bowes move to 8!!
