    Kyle Howarth (29) is the youngest Brit in the field. And only Pickering (26) and Basso (22) are younger.

    As far as i know,  non of them are men of colour or women or identify only as a toilet brush. Maybe wanting to be part of modern society we should be  joining in more? :D

    This is true, also the 'enviromental mats' placed under each bike in the pits....

    That's what they used to be for. I watched 1 rider move his mat after he had broken his engine to avoid getting oil onto it because it has sponsors name on it and did want to get it dirty.

    Exactly, I do think ppl get hung up on the name development they should really drop that and go bk to national league which it really is.

    Take away the word development and it becomes a pro league with clubs allowed to sign non commonwealth overseas riders and the 15 year old would have to go back to junior racing. I think we will keep the word development.

    Just looking at photographs of the rider in the rostrum can't help but notice how cheap and plastic the three trophies are.

    Surely a proper silver cup or silver and wooden shield awarded annually would be more appropriate along with a replica for the winner?

    Was there not a 'real' trophy back in the days when it was called the British Junior Championship?

    I seem to recall Barry Thomas holding a nice trophy when he won the title.

    From what I've seen in speedway and other sports young men are not bothered about trophies.  They couldn't careless and just give them to mom to look after.
