While I wish Bowes well in his recovery, this doesn't hinder Poole at all. For the rest of this month Cairns & Rushen at reserve, plus Kerr & Newman can take r/r outings. When Rushen gets a new average, Cairns & Newman at reserve, Rushen can take a r/r outing. Bowes won't drop to reserve till July at the earliest. Besides if Poole can win at Redcar without Rushen, who can challenge them at all?

Gaurenteed 😂

At Monmore Green his nicknames inluded 'Norman Klunk' and ' Mr Reliably Unreliable!'

Interesting first experience of Northampton. The stand is impressive. Viewing from the grass banks less so; I wish they were higher. Everyone is looking for the best vantage point. The outside gents' urinals were a tribute to the gross toilets at Cradley Heath. I estimate the crowd at 2,500. After a confident start, Leicester threw away several points to allow Northampton to take victory. To lose to a team which includes the woeful Klindt and Batchelor takes some doing. On Douglas's first bend slide off, he did it unassisted so the exclusion was fair. Gilkes was half a lap or so behind the leader when he came off, so I think the ref erred on the side of caution to stop the race while Gilles was still leaving the track.

will they be scraping it all off next week when Glasgow are there 😉

What gjcone said! Bewley was in the form of his life and BK seems to have started slower than usual - history wont repeat itself and he won't run him that close again. I do hope that comes back to bite me though!

Really? They stopped giving wildcards to riders because of their nationality ahead of their ability, looks the strongest field since the Russians were banned to me. Not sure why people are saying it's virtually over after one round, Zmarzlik will always be favourite, but it's not like he's miles in front, he's not even leading the series yet.

Probably, ive gone off the GP tbh too predictable and when a rider can score 8/9 points win the lcq and end up with 20 points 4 more than the actual top scorer of the meeting its a joke. Also half the field automatically qualify, i understand the arguments about GP v the one offs but the route to qualify for the one off was open to every rider, some great meetings along the way too, British final, European, Nordic, Commonwealth, the jeopardy of the one off made the night special. Only my view and i understand im probably in the minority. I dont think BZ needs to get any extra laps around the NSS its the type of track he rides every week in Poland, replacing Dan is nigh on impossible.

again we see a rider getting thrown back into the track, if that happened on lap 2 and he was leading another rider could have hit him !

well you should know..🤣

even a bot couldn't have that kind of sense of humour..😁

if brady not on podium this weekend and bz is ,i recon its over.

even if it was a 60/40 fault i would prefer all 4 back, and to include coming out of second bend.

Obviously the person in question has nothing better to do with his time🤣

I don't see it that way it could all change in the blink of an eye I think that Kurtz will be in the mix( he reminds me of how Hancock rode in the latter part of his career gate and go ) ,I would love BZ to win again but it far from a done deal IMO .

That’s where speedway is turning to a money game like every other Motorsport, bad when there is a different engine suited for different tracks, that’s why riders are so inconsistent or a lot quicker when wealthy or better supported , not rider 70% equipment

Not sure if agree with that because 1) what of no ex-riders want to become referees & 2) when I see an ex-rider on commentary they often excuse falls & blame the track, rather than the opponent, I feel this could lead to multiple all four re-runs because they side with both riders? I'm not sure the answer to poor refereeing, even with video footage, you often see bizarre decisions made.

Good to see a home win to keep the home fans happy. Nki still got it! Klindt doesn't seem interested with the track. Batchelor is Batchelor- doing about as expected.

Joe was only signed as a 28 day injury replacement, If they had signed him as a replacement then dropped him he cannot be introduced. I tend to agree Dan Gilkes seems to have lost some of his confidence on the bike and am sure the falls tonight will not have helped. I don’t think he can but Gilkes could probably do with some NL meetings to get his confidence back Northampton at present is a difficult track to ride and is very inconsistent as Nick Morris and Ryan Douglas found with holes and bumps appearing

Maybe this is not being done by a human. How could one person be able to constantly make posts across so many theads, using so many identities. Just doesnt seem humanly possible

Could they re-sign JT? There was a rule a season or so ago but not being able to re-sign riders you already dropped? Or is it different for RS?

Finn Jenson was an expert on that.

Why "hand it it to BZ again"... are you forgetting Brady Kurtz ?

... and then thanked other riders for getting off the track in subsequent races!

Dan Gilkes has already signed for Scunthorpe and scored 15, paid 18 from his first two meetings for them. That boat has sailed, other than for guest appearances
