    They wouldn’t know that !!!! I’m sure they said that Lebedevs rides for Daugavpils- whereas he hasn’t ridden for them for at least 3 years !!!

    I tell you what, er, erm, er... they kept saying lots of things... Freddie Lindgren had long Covid... who knew?!?

    They kept saying Zagar doesn't have a club, I thought someone had said before that he is riding in Denmark?

    Looking forward to what is a tough meeting on paper, hard to call because the Scunny heat leader form has been a bit sketchy away from the EWR . The reserves battle is important so the Comets need to see a much improved showing from Sam and Celina against their opposite numbers. Sure all the Comets will be up for this after being mauled by the Bears on Friday. Right now I would just take a win . UTC !

    Big difference for Lindgren and Doyle and also those towards the bottom. Although as Chris Louis mentioned Lindgren and Doyle did not win a race all night yet both ended up on the podium!

    It looks a tight meeting on paper. Comets have a powerhouse top 5 if they all click, but Scunny are well capable of matching them, and more with 2023 Comet, Luke Harrison at reserve along with Jack Smith, who was one of the better visitors around Northside last year in my opinion, giving them the edge in the reserve department. Quite hard to predict, but I think we’ll be able to make an educated guess later this afternoon once we see a few heats. I can’t see us challenging Scunthorpe away, so this is our best chance to at least get the all important third win in the table and most likely book ourselves a place in the Semi Final as the lucky losers. This is going to be the toughest test so far for The Comets, and definitely not one to be missed. Best of luck, and I’m sure everyone in attendance will enjoy another great day of racing!

    For a GP / SWC I'd agree, could be the best meeting of the year. But a best pairs on a track not really suited for team riding, where the rider in second doesn't need to try to pass they guy winning, might not be as great a spectacle.

    For that reason I don't know why they only use one track. I would think they'd get more fans if it was held at different tracks as you'd get 2 or more sets of "home" fans attending, rather than some just attending the final?
  16. szkocjasid
    1) there are far better ways to achieve that 2) this won't be the case in the Cardiff & Warsaw GPs. I find it odd they created a system for the reason you said, then qualifying can stop the GP winner being top scorer.

    Just because he pulled up doesn't mean he had bike issues... looked like he was struggling with arm pump, which is worrying after only 1 and a half rides... has he injured his arms recently? Heat 1: Harry McGurk 1st, Danny Phillips 2nd, kyran Lyden 3rd - Harry by a mile, Danny and kyran close to eachother, but never close enough to pass. Heat 2: Lee Harrison 1st, Katie Gordon 2nd, Dan McTeer 3rd - Spread out by the end Harrison flying, loves the outside line it seems. Heat 3: Danny Phillips 1st, kyran Lyden 2nd, Harry McGurk Ret - Harry by a mile then pulls up on back straight of last lap waving his arms about as if they're cramping, Danny and kyran close together but never close enough to pass. Heat 4: Katie Gordon 1st, Dan McTeer 2nd, Lee Harrison fell - Harrison leading by a mile again but fell on bend 4 lap 4 after what looks like his rear covers half falling off his bike and getting stuck under his back wheel, another impressive ride though. Heat 5: Danny Phillips 1st, Kyran Lyden 2nd, Harry McGurk Ret - Harry by a mile then pulls up on the back straight of lap 2 looking to have more arm issues. Heat 6: same as heat 2. Lee Harrison looks like he's gonna be good once he gets a bit more experience on the 500s. Anyone got any extra info on him? Sorry I don't have any times, I don't usually keep track of them, or buy a programme for that matter. However I heard someone remark that Harry's winning time in heat 1 was only 2 seconds off the pace of the main meeting, he was pretty far in front. If he could string 4 rides like that together in the National League he'd be one of the top riders. Just hope he can sort his issues out, whatever they may be.

    I will say this again; at least this system guarantees that the GP winner gets the most points! I HATE when people do this, but here's how it WOULD have looked under the old system (with comparison in brackets)... 18 - Holder (-2) 14 - Zmarzlik (=) 12 - Lambert (=) 12 - Doyle (-6) 11 - Huckenbeck (=) 11 - Lindgren (-5) 9 - Madsen (-1) 8 - Kubera (-1) 7 - Michelsen (-1) 6 - Vaculik (-1) 6 - Wozniak (=) 6 - Kvech (+1) 5 - Lebedevs (+1) 5 - Bewley (+2) 4 - Zagar (+2) 3 - Woffinden (+2)

    He was also out wide looking for grip when there wasn't any...

    A decent meeting with some excellent speedway. So good to see someone other than Zmarzlik winning. Lambert sadly went backwards in his last 2 important heats but well done to Holder. Track got rougher as the meeting went on and glad that gate 4 came good in the last 2 important heats, Freddie made good use of it in the final. Woffy looked completely disinterested pulling up when at the back is a pet hate of mine. Bewley has speed but gets lost in traffic.

    To be honest I was completely unaware of this until tonight. Why launch something for just 2 rounds? It’s making a farce of the current scoring. Just do it for every round or don’t bother. Too much of a gimmick for my liking.

    Source please. I must be imagining things as I thought Berwick had used the automated starts for their four home meetings so far.

    Not suggesting either sam or celina should be replaced here but who'd actually be available to replace sub 4.00 average at championship level who missed out on a spot who isnt a 2.00 rider? Ben Morley? 4.56 Stefan Nielsen? 3.85 Adam Roynon? 3.50 Max Clegg ? 3.95 Jack Smith? 2.90 Dont know if the above averages would be subject to british reduction. Seems a very small pool of riders available at champ level sub 5.00 if teams are looking to make changes IMO. I think a lot of teams are just going to stick with What they have at the bottom end of their teams barring Smith likely securing a spot at Glasgow after last night. If I was in workingtons shoes id be using celina at 7 so shes out against a reserve in all her rides as she seems the more likely to score well out of her and sam so give her the best opportunity to do so

    Scunny"s heat leader trio must be a worry . Howarth did manage to win a race tonight , Allen did battle for his points , but Palm Toft was dreadful . For the home team , Son of God will never score an easier maximum . Schlien and Kemp were able back ups . Don't think the home fans will be looking forward to Son of God returning next Saturday
  28. crescent girl
    The referee was waiting for Lambert to obey marshal's instructions, and did not put green light on. Riders don't have to spin motors until marshal walks away and referee put's on green light. It may be Simon has sustained a fine, or a report, for causing the problem.
  29. OldtimerRay
    Unfortunately Scorpions have that old problem of not having a No1 now that Douglas has gone, basically it is a team of good second strings who occasionally ride like heat leaders + Kyle Howarth wasn't a very good signing
