And in news that will shock absolutely no one! The first rider missing due to Polish commitments of the season goes to Zach Cook! Piss off and stay there!

Cookie, Viv Muddle and latterly Vinnie practising this morning and into the afternoon. Craig looked very comfortable.

It'll soon be Market Harborough Town

Why has the Border Trophy not been competed for in the last 2 seasons ? . I did hear it was because Berwick refused to participate but have not had that confirmed.

You win... 600 miles though... did you take the scenic route? 😂

Rubbish.

Scott Nicholls ?

Oh well, at least the other five teams all know now that they only have to finish higher than one of existing five teams to get into the play offs!!

If someone is dropping in a bike via a drone for him to practice in his exercise periods, I'd be very worried 😱

Being on the front cover and a two page spread inside without turning a wheel in the 2nd division doesn't help. Todays young riders love the social media and why not? but if they talk the talk, then they have to do the walk or just like on here they will get criticised. In fairness to Will Cairns, I saw him do an interview on a local TV broadcast on press day and he seemed to have his feet firmly on the ground. Good luck to all the young riders. I think Jody Scott and Luck Harris go about it the right way. Both have improved without the big hype. The parents of some of these young riders can stop the hype by cutting back on the articles and big interviews, but they seem to enjoy the publicity as much as their boys.

It crossed my mind too but theyve been defunct (competing-wise) for a long time and anyway arent exactly in same neck of the woods, Shirley😌

The reality from Will on the Belle Vue socials. Cairns said: “I’m really looking forward to the season. Obviously I’m still only 16 so I’ve got lots of learning to do, and lots of experience to gain. “It would be nice to try and beat the other Rising Stars, but I know I’ve definitely got my work cut out there. “I think this year is all about learning and trying to find my feet. I would like to improve my average, but only time will tell!” What BSF hear. Obviously I’m the new great white hope for UK speedway and I’m looking forward to rinsing the other RS’s and tbh some second strings as well. I’m probably the best hope for the future of UK speedway and can see myself emulating Tai with at least 3 world titles. I just hope that if it does take time to find my feet the fans will offer encouragement rather than getting on my back after one race.

Depends which part of the county you come from, south its cov as you are on the edge of Warwickshire, north you are on the edge of Nottinghamshire.

Unfortunately I'm hearing pilots are sniffing about another young prospect ☹️

No, but for some reason seems to be hyped up more, hope all the young guns make it into top riders 😀

Spot on your lot could surprise a few this year Tobi if his head is right could put 1.5 - 2 points on average, Bangs has talent to be one of the best newcomers if he can adjust to the track, Lawson steady eddie 7 point man, Tom capable of putting a point on average in a weaker league, Nicholls will do a job at home also if King and Edwards can maintain averages you will make play offs.

Spot on last four races of the speedway world cup where Poland nicked it off us at the death was brilliant racing shows what the sport could be if it could get organised over here.

No longer getting BPs behind Dan Thompson this year should boost his Green Sheet figure - last year his CMA was 8.00 which included BPs.

Doesn't quite rival the unmasking of Kendo Nagasaki !

@Neila is still annoyed that Poole stole him off Worky. 😉

Oh..

Yip

So crescent girl is dick barrie?

Is that suggesting that Cairns doesnt 'go about his racing quietly'?

Thought he looked a decent prospect at one time. Did he quit speedway?
