Some valid points however he wasn’t brought in for the play offs. He rode a month before the play offs started. Same as Hancock at Poole. All well and truly valid.
That’s just opinions. Facts are he IS the most crowned English rider in history.
You can’t disagree with facts. He IS the most crowned English world champion in history.
Aces fans do like to cheer a rider falling. But then every club has that element too.
I'm not disagreeing with that, I disagree that he's the greatest GB rider in history - do you not understand the difference?

Don't forget he hasn't been contracted to ride in the Premiership this year either (other than a few guest appearances). Shame though as he's having a great season.
-
Why on earth do premiership teams use Sam Hagon - does he pay them to ride?
Seriously, they can't think he'll beat anyone at this level so seems such a strange choice. What have I missed?

I thought it was? I wonder why they don't get bigger crowds, given the population in the area and the fare served up, seems a shame.

Looks like the cameras should've been at the Showground

Anywhere else on the track Toby would've gone, no contact just a mistake - ref bottled it using the 'unsatisfactory start' rule to avoid a decision.

Think the racing should improve, gate and go so far. Sounds like plenty of interest in the other two Premiership meetings tonight.

Yes, I’m all for all the top boys being back in the UK top league and if the pay was good they would be it’s that simple.
Take Lambert last season, purely here for the glory and just the play offs. Great to have him racing here but I have no respect for him or the Aces for that move.
Great to have Woffy back absolutely. I’m no fan of Doyle but he deserves more respect for choosing the UK as one of his main leagues season after season. Any top rider back in the UK we should applaud however some are only here for glory/convenience/other clubs out the play offs/ extra pay check etc.
Woffy is a GB legend and our greatest ever rider. He is only here for a few matches tho.
If you mean for Wolves then fine but disagree completely if you mean GB's greatest.

Never before have I noticed a lack of consideration for his team mate.
He's renowned for it, often stuffs his team mate around Foxhall!

I don't think it makes much difference. The bikes never reach their top speed and there is a fair amount of resistance. Tiny riders in history have not been more successful, schofield, turner, bjerre as three examples.
-
Now that GP riders are realising there is definite benefit to riding in the UK they seem to be coming back. As Artem is finding, it's not that easy over here.

And the GOAT Nielsen
It's ability not height or even weight.

9 hours ago, Col said:It was a decent watch on TV. Thompson certainly showed well against the club that dropped him.
The one thing that stood out for me was how appalling the Witches were at team riding. Not once did an Ipswich rider give a hoot where his partner was.
Sedgman beats Sayfutdinov then doesn't score another point all night.
Ipswich really need to replace Riss.
Surprised you've not seen Danny King before?

Whilst I agree with you, if they are exploited in the right way they could provide some additional tech insight - fastest rider, fastest lap etc. to keep youngsters interested whilst we try to fill in our programmes with pens.

2 minutes ago, eric i said:At Wroclaw I would go with Tai, Rob, Dan, Wright, Ellis. Of course there is opinion and debate who are the best top 5, the justification for using Brennen over Wright is one of the most bizarre I have seen i.e he rides in poland so he going to score more points at Wroclaw( despite Belle Vue being the most similar track to Wroclaw). The real reason that Wright wasn't include is because he didn't want ride in European pairs in Finland.
I agree with you about Wright but the same as in any job, if you p off your manager, you'll get less opportunities!

Very small margins and GB could easily have won - congratulations to them, they did me proud.
I don't believe they lack any mental strength at all, unfortunately the way some races pan out it can be another who presents an obstacle e.g. Fricke in Ht 20 held up Lambert which allowed Janowski to pass. Janowski himself had to ride the outside as he had nothing to lose - sometimes being the chaser is easier than being the chased and Lambert was no doubt settling for second (bar any mistakes from Fricke) after a couple of laps.
Any suggestions Poland are miles ahead was clearly de-bunked.

I'm expecting it to be as they shouldn't be scared of a rain off as they could go again tomorrow.

Touché!
No, Foxhall is the place, holds 10k and would serve up some great racing and atmosphere.

Kinsley has been around a long time now, not improving & time to call it quits in my view, can't be good getting beat all the time. Maybe he can get better?

Even slicker tonight, didn't think that was possible!

I thought Scott was in Poland anyway for the SWC? Was nice to see a rider putting his club ahead of other activities for a change though, shame it wasn't meant to be, obviously family comes first.
So did I but he wasn't on the box for the two semi-finals. Has tweeted about the race off though.

1 minute ago, PotteringAround said:Everyone in the top 4 gets 4 programmed rides between heats 1 and 16, plus a nominated ride (heats 17-20) and if the team is 6 or more points behind the leaders they can also take a tactical ride.
On, so that's five rides each then. How many can the reserve have?
Ipswich Vs Kings Lynn August 10th

Why waste the tactical in a guaranteed 3-3 race with Emil, odd team management from Lynn.
