All Activity

They’ve been experimenting with different track conditions the last month or so, trying to find a track that suits everyone. Thursday was far too slick to be honest and there wasn’t a lot of grip out there. Heat 15 a perfect example. Brennan was clearly quicker than Lawson out front and was throwing everything he could at him, going inside and out but just couldn’t find enough to get past. Brennan is riding himself in to good form at just the right time. Looked quick Thursday.

Are you a workington fan or a plymouth fan?

And nothing says more Mickey Mouse than a policy that allows teams to plan in meetings knowing riders will be missing and replace them from other teams, rather than running the meetings when the actual team can be there.. The guest system isnt a "necessary evil", as some term it, it is now a fundamental key part of the operating model.... A chance for some riders to earn more money, and a catch all safety net to complete the season, driven by the signing of riders who, knowingly, won't be available to represent the team..

The time when he scored more than our reserves ?????

Don’t know about that,but transponders are used in most bike sports without any problems.

Good to see Allen giving it to Wright. Wright gives it out but cannot take it back. Well done Jake.

Hope he in a better state than he was last time he was here lol

Update on Przyjemski. He suffered an ankle fracture and a small back fracture.

That Jacob’s brother?

Ok thanks. So far from a full proof method of measurement

Having googled fifth degree burns, they are serious and he could be out for some time. Wish the lad well in his recovery.

Can’t trust the old enemy. eg. James Hook.🤔👍

What are the extent of his injury.?

Certainly would deserve a place given his return to form this season,been excellent all season.

He has 5th degree burns on his hand and wrist to see the plastic surgeon today

Any news on wee Max?

The transponder device placement in the track is 1/2 dia of front wheel back from finish line.The transponder on the bike is on the top of the front forks.

So a NORA licence has been approved and a scheduled meeting planned for 6 September. Hope they get a decent crowd and well done to everyone involved.

Can someone explain to me the transponder placement? I know they exist but have no understanding of them at all. Presumably they’re not on the front wheel so how can they tell who crossed the line first?

Glasgow when they track their full seven, imo are the best team in the CL & if Nagel had been available, they would probably have added to their winning margin, given his guest replacement, Jacob Hook, did not score a point from his four rides. Howarth's scoring from no.5 is impressive, especially when matches go down to the wire & the Harris/Howarth combination usually deliver the coup de grace in heats 13 & 15. For Monarchs a key factor in their recent decline in performance is that Victor Palovaara is still trying to recover from pneumonia which apparently has absolutely done him in. In hindsight it might have been better to have given him more time to fully recover. One positive I took from tonight's match, was MPT's best ride at the Dale since joining us, in heat 14 where he stalked Flint until the last bend & burst through on the inside to take the win.

Glad to see that on the British Speedway Web site that Freddy was awarded 3rd place when he passed Hook on the line. On updates it shows Hook as being third. With poor Max getting injured it was a great performance from the 5 remaining tigers. A shame that guest Jacob Hook failed to score but no2 is a difficult position. Looking forward to tomorrow's meeting at Workington where it will probably be tight like many of our away meetings. Can the Tigers win again?

Some good racing tonight from both teams, and a last heat decider to finish off another terrific Scottish Derby. Glasgow showing a bit of grit to pull through a chaotic night , Edinburgh pushed all the way. Fair play to both teams for an entertaining night of speedway.

The inevitable heats 13/15 usual from us. Could see that coming a mile off.

A comment that clearly shows you know absolutely hee haw about the true facts, so best leave the rocket science to others

Not so sure Glasgow would want to give up there Friday nights
