Sam Woods replace Kenzie Cossey and Jack Kingston take time out of the sport .

Unfortunately the majority on here would bring back hanging to stop murderers re offending.

Agreed I do think to be a multiple world champion you need to avoid to many big knocks, Hancock other than that one where he ended up with his arm in another riders mudguard (which was horrific) has mostly stayed out of trouble. Hans Nielson didn't have to many bad knocks either but as you say Doyley and Freddie although awesome riders have had some pretty bad knocks over the years, sadly Tai who generally stayed out of trouble has had a torrid time last three years also. And as you say older you get the more these knocks must start to catch up mentally and physically, Chris Holder another example.

Has to be a decision for a promoter/owner to make, after consulting with relevant people and checking compliance with law and regulations. Then it's a question of assessing the potential risk factors and measures taken to help prevent relapse and are they working and sufficient. Personally, I'd draw the line at convicted sex offenders and murderers.

That philosophy hasn't worked for him so far in his life , doubt he will ever change.

The Sprint Race Debate
TINYS replied to False dawn's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Should not be a sprint race at all. -
That's defo the way I remember and did it, a wooden peg was always best
- Today

A clothes peg and some stiff card was the elite option.

I must admit that I'm not convinced about the awarding of WC points as part of qualifying. However, when I read in the Speedway Star this week that it is mathematically possible for the championship to be decided in the afternoon at Torun in front of a few hundred fans, it did give me pause for thought. It might not even be on TV. At the very least I think there should not be a sprint race at the final round. What's the general consensus?

He's done his time and that should be the end of it. Garrity was a talented rider and thrilling to watch. I'd have no problem with him racing for the Foxes. If racing helps him stay on the straight and narrow, everybody benefits.
-
Another blank week for Foxes fans, with no away meetings and no home meeting until next Monday, while Belle Vue and Ipswich have a home and away fixture, Leicester two aways, and King's Lynn and Sheffield a home each.
-
i think that might only be part of the news, there will surely be something bigger otherwise why would they want fans there
-
Hard to pick between them at the moment. Both destined for the top of the sport. Cairns more a Robert lambert type of rider while Rushen more a Loram. It’s great to see and both riding for the same team only pushes them on to beat each other and the opposition. Be interesting to see who has the better career. At the moment they are both extremely raw.

Best rider/s for coming from the back.

I am showing my age with this comment but Ronnie Moore in the days of handicap league racing was brilliant. Starting on a 30 yard handicap at Wimbledon he would regularly be in the lead by the end of the first lap. He was also a master of team riding his partner to victory. -
I think I would prefer to keep Allen over Edwards if making a double change. But who's the best 2 pointer available, feel like they'd be signing someone very unlikely to beat any opposition riders. Plus Wright, may not get back to his previous form straight away.? I think an Allen / Lambert or Edwards / Lambert combination would score more than Wright & a 2 pointer.
