Not sure seeking blame will help Tobi's recovery

Yes. Seen that now having scrolled down the page.

EICESTER V BELLE VUE Unfortunately our OB Van broke down on the way to Leicester this morning and we are not able to make the meeting in time to stream this fixture. We send our sincere apologies for the disappointment - every effort was made to allow this stream to go ahead, but our options for repair/recovery have been limited due to the Bank Holiday. This fixture will now be streamed by Lions TV and is available to purchase from them now. This stream will now be replaced for Season Pass subscribers with the Leicester V Belle Vue fixture on Thursday, July 23. All Single Match Pass purchases will be refunded automatically.

Can’t see that as I’m not on instagram but I’m assuming it’s the one where he goes straight on hits the fence and bike somersaults up in the air ? He went off track in ambulance but stayed in pits for rest of meeting

He hit him because Tobi moved out to protect his position.

Not quite sure how he could 'stuff him into the fence' when RL was on the outside all the way down the back straight and into the 3rd bend. Imo RL was correctly excluded as Tobi was about half a wheel length in front when the crash happened. Nothing malicious or intentional. They were both chatting together as mates in the pits immediately beforehand.

Just looked at the BSN website where it is still showing as going ahead via their platform. Guess we'll find out for sure in 25minutes or so.

He made the clubs adhere to a schedule to speed meetings up with set grading breaks. Introduced the centre green clocks. Had the sponsors banners made up in the pits so every club looked the same. Brokered deals with riders to ride in the premiership. For the grand final he had a magnificent looking stage not made of three pallets. Pyrotechnics and flames. Spoke to save Coventry stadium and offered to buy Ipswich with his own money. Introduced the media day. but apart from that not much. now the sport is imploding and going backwards under the current regime

This one? Mencel somebody or other https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWtcIOHgHRs/?igsh=MWp0ZGU4dmJucWV1bA==

Although licences are through the ACU the international licence is different to a domestic one, on top of that you have to have a SCB licence, up till this year a rider was deducted a fee per race for his insurance which was through company’s like doodson’s or George burrows via the SCB, on top of that rider can (and should) get their own cover, this season the cover provided by the SCB has been scrapped and it’s now through the ACU and a higher fee for the licence, I think the problem is too fold, firstly riders were not told or at least barker says they weren’t and secondly it doesn’t cover lost earnings only hospital stay

you have used that a few times now, get some new material .

I would hope that the speedway promotion will be able to complete this season, if a sensible conversation can take place with Galliard Homes. The property developers will surely not have plans in place to do anything to the place before the Autumn - ? (Grasping at straws here)

Was there any extinguishers to put him out.

Watching the stream, it looked like Lawson went in first and Tobias went in and got tangled up with both bikes.

Broken femurs tend to be getting hit by the bike dont they

The polish rider wasn’t injured, think Thomson was hit by both bikes, lawsons part of the crash looked worse

its pathetic now getting in through south stand, now big queues , two people serving one person, one takes money then other one types into a lap top and prints ticket, mental. its like saying crucifixion, yes please, line on the left one cross each, thank you , wait where you going, we haven't made your cross yet. no need for it . they say its a trial run, i said for how long , rest of the season, pathetic. any way was ok meeting bewley on fire.

Do we know yet how Thomson sustained these horrific injuries? Saw a Polish rider go under the fence on Instagram yesterday, I don't think he walked away from it!

Mixed fortunes for two Berwick riders racing today as Belle Vue took on Leicester. Meeting was won by the home side where Peter Kildemand scored seven while Nick Morris scored four and a bonus. Return match is tonight.

I don’t know enough about the insurance side but my understanding is that any ACU licenced rider needs start permission from the ACU for any event abroad. That would then suggest to me that they are covered by the existing personal accident cover available to all disciplines. Previously, ACU licensed speedway riders had to arrange their own cover

Any more news on the lucky replacement? Also no disrespect to Tom who is trying his best, but I really do think a change to Max Perry would bring a crucial extra 3-4 points per meeting

A novel approach.....

You’ve got to question what he improved for his £60k a year income from British speedway? The TV experience would have been managed by the TV company if he wasn’t about, only addition I can think of is the helmet colour rug 🙈

He doesnt blame him because Lewy is a liar. If you look at the footage Tobi moved out to stop Lawson's run round the outside.
