  1. Past hour
  2. They had rain mid afternoon and then watered the track twice as the strong wind was drying it out so quickly and then at 6.20ish it poured down for a good ten minutes. Track was wet but one team adapted and one didn't! Klima did an unintentional 180 on the parade lap on bend four and ended up looked directly back at Scott Nicholls I think who was behind him! He obviously learnt quickly what he needed to do to get round though as he was superb last night. In heat one Masters got himself in a pickle on bend two but Danny and Joe seemingly had no issues in either running of the heat. Killeen was a little over excited chasing the Gladiators down into the start of the last lap and came off. I'm no mechanical expert but with 40+ years of watching speedway it looked like they had their setups wrong for the conditions although both teams did their track walks before it rained. Only Anders Rowe didn't fall off or get excluded in any of his rides for a Cheetah's side that I was expecting more from. Tom Spencer was the only Plymouth rider to struggle and he openly admitted that was down to inexperience when interviewed at the end of the meeting after he came out for some extra practice afterwards. Barker rode sensibly for a pretty simple four ride max, avoiding the slippery parts of the track when required to do so in heat 3 but still winning comfortably. That was the biggest win I have seen from a Plymouth team since converting from being a Rebel post covid and it reminded me a little of watching Exeter at the County Ground at times with a home side dominant and an away side not really that interested! Well done to Mark Phillips, Garry May and the rest of the backroom team down at Plymouth for the continued improvement on and off the track for the club. Will be back for more in a couple of weeks time when Glasgow come to Devon, that regular 160 mile round trip to the Coliseum doesn't seem very far nowadays!
  3. I’ve just read the mess that’s been talked about on social media and I’ll say this, speedway never learns from its mistakes, maybe we should introduce a points system for anyone who wants to get involved, everyone starts at 5 points and you lose a point for every black mark against your name and when you down to 3 points you’re not allowed to run/promote any speedway team, some may say we wouldn’t have anybody left to promote/run any teams. Well that’s the point we keep getting bad wood
  4. Probably go well at Plymouth as similar size to American tracks, but will he qualify for a visa ?
  5. How he performs these inside passing moves and still manages to keep the speed up turning tight is what stands him out from the rest.
  6. I guess if you’re not feeling quick on the straights and you have zmarzlik behind you then you know he is coming you just don’t know where
  7. Bartosz still king of the passing game.Woryna and Banbor impressive.
  8. yes like Rushen did when he beat superstar Simon Lambert for his first win?🤔
  9. Today
  10. Notice Slater Lightcapp is in Europe he might be worth a shout.
  11. Dudek and Michelson look very off it tonight, Dudek in the pits just looked right fed up and then he goes out and wins lol
  12. You been smoking something dodgy marra 😜
  13. If plausible I’d be looking at Boncinelli that’s at Slask and Slangerup or the other Czech lad Adam Nejezchelba Can’t see them being above a 5
  14. It's a tricky one but I do get why the BSPL lost patience and pulled the plug on them. Back when the MDL started in 2011/12 we accepted a few "nomadic teams" into the fold. It was good to begin with as it obviously provided a platform for younger riders to get more track time and it also provided a platform the those who were genuinely wanted to bring the sport back to places like Long Eaton for example. Some of the "ghost teams" were run by enthusiasts who above all wanted to put youth development first. Unfortunately other "ghost teams" were run by individuals who only cared about trophy's and winning at all costs to put it politely. These said individuals were not the most savoury of people either. The abuse we received from them was shocking. They were using older former NL riders to win meeting which although was within the rules if they didn't have a NL team place was completely against the ethos of the league. They were essentially playing fantasy speedway without having to pay the promotional costs and fees. This of course ruined it for the others. I think when Cradley packed in it gave the BSPL the perfect excuse to put a ban on nomad teams.
  15. Woul love to see him guesting for the Comets, but IMO he is doing too much now and that's without any guest bookings
  16. Good to see lots of riders using normal rims instead of those ugly lugged ones, Toruń Kevlars remind me of Per Jonnson,lublin have best looking Kevlars in league imo,Lublin still not sorted those bumps out going into turn 3 despite relaying the track, not sure bladorn is at this level in his career
