Thousands of pounds difference in costs from TV to a streaming outfit.

Let’s all panic early. It happens every time.

When was the last time Ukraine held an election?

As happened to Kurtz in the Czech GP. A snapped chain is part and parcel of motorsport. Those that say it cost him the chance of being world champion are being naive. How many riders have missed out on becoming world champion due to a bit of bad luck along the way!!

Not just his engine's Dean, every single part of his bike, engine plates, clutch lever, clutch arm, rims, seat brackets, exhaust clamps, steel shoe, - you name it, it had holes in it

I think it’s fair to say that both those scores were outliers. Both bookings were a bit of a gamble

Acquired the rights from who? The BSPL?

I wonder the difference between TNT and BSN and if the latter would have given it more time… oh well, decision made so such is life.

I can't say if it's a good decision or not. I'm not a track curator and conditions at the track might be different to where I am. All I can say is that my garden was dry at 2.30 pm yesterday when it started to rain. It wasn't heavy rain and it had left off by about 8.00 p.m. What I will query is why the decision was taken so early, especially as Sheffield is only 70 miles away up the M1.

Poor old Dave. Just think under the new system, he could have been a two time world champion!!!

Actually been warm when the sun's been out, which it has here near Ipswich for much of the day. Great drying weather with the wind but the TV company need certainty, not "well it might not rain and be fine" kind of answer. If TV not there it may have been a different decision.

My mistake

I’m not necessarily talking about the racing. The Portsmouth Southampton football match that was screened on ITV was as dull as dishwater. In fact quite a lot of live football I have seen has been uninspiring & certainly not highly entertaining for the majority of matches as you would think for a sport that is dripping in money. It’s the product people want to be involved with the entertainment value of the spectacle is secondary. Get the competitions & the overall product right.

So good decision to call it or not? Sounds similar to the weather here in Ipswich… I keep debating if it’s too windy to race or not

I'm four miles from the track. Its been very windy but no rain so far today. It was sunny this morning but very overcast now.

Just pray Brennan and Doyle don’t get injured in SoN

He seemingly could not be bothered in that last heat. Was it because it did not matter as the meeting had been won or has he got to the point where he should take your advice. I have thought for some while that he should do as you suggest.

Anyone live near Leicester and can say how bad the weather is today out of curiosity?

Watching some Speedway will make a pleasant change from watching weather forecasts.

Think you might have got that wrong...😉

Whoooosh.

Rained off yesterday

Zager needs to hang up the leathers.

Well done to London Racer and thanks as always to R & R
