I think my missus will disagree with you there!

My apologies: There was a British Youth Championship 125cc meeting (24 Riders) scheduled to take place after the home meeting v Edinburgh on April 1st, but the meeting was rained off.

At the Championship Rounds they not only gain valuable track time, but also learn the discipline of a structured meeting and all which that encompasses, and not just free practice. Everybody learns more from racing against others.

Nobody forces them to ride. You ask Neil Vatcher, they ALL want to ride in these meetings, and you would deny them that chance? How many riders (per Class) would you limit these Championship Rounds to?

At Scunthorpe in April there were 24 x 125 cc riders. Would you have limited that field to your chosen few? Or given all a chance for true competitive rides?

And how do you ascertain who those best riders are in each age group in the first place?

And how do you ascertain who is the best?

Surely any track time is important to gain experience?

I believe it is:- 6 Man Teams, 15 Heats. (12 Programmed Heats + 3 Nominated). Top two riders (from each team) to be in Heat 15.

Just had it confirmed by the University that Student accommodation WILL NOT be available in 2019.

One thing that has puzzled me for a while, and not just referring to last night (but just using Klindt's performance in Heat 12 as an example), why is it that a rider off the worst gate or makes the worst start will often finish a long way behind the leader and not just be the couple of bike lengths behind that he lost at the start?

The German line up has changed. Dominik Moser, Fabian Wachs, Marius Hillebrand, Niels Oliver Wessell. No Reserve. Hajek no longer in the Czech Line Up. Kvech moves to #1. No Reserve.

Me too!

Sent him a text?

It seems that some of your post has been missed out. I'm sure that it should read.. "Thanks for showing how wrong I was, so can any of you etc....."

I suggest you re-visit to see what (nothing??) they have done!:- http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/86166-save-coventry-speedway-objection-document-now-available-to-download/

Blimey. Hit Men come cheap these days!

BT Sport will be showing a programme featuring the Thompson Twins, Tai Woffinden and Gary Stead immediately after the Cardiff GP. Included in the feature will be an interview with Gary, as well as visit to Dan & Joe's home workshop, coaching sessions from Tai at Leicester and the recent British Youth Championship round at Rye House.

If anyone knows of a Peter Harvey from Exmouth, please get them to PM me as I have received their Cardiff tickets.

Dan is officially classified as 2nd after a 3-man Run-Off.

Agreed, plus, I believe the 'trainee' Referee is now a 'Probationer' and as such, when the probationer takes charge of the meeting, the qualified Referee has to leave the Referee's box.

I wasn't passing judgement. Just showing the possibility.

Unlikely, but possible? Bearing in mind this is 2 days…. Team A score 12 x 3-3 (2nd & 3rd) = 36 points. Team B score 10 x 5-1 + 2x 3-3 (1st & 4th against Team A) =56 points Team A ‘win’ Heat 43 (2nd & 3rd) 39 total. Team A ‘win’ Grand Final (2nd & 3rd) Total 42 points. Team B (1st & 4th in the Final) Total 59 points!! Team A lift trophy having never provided a heat winner!

I'll explain why.. then..... I'm just guessing!

3. If the scores are shared between the two teams taking part in the Race Offs heats 22 & 23. Final 2 heat 22 (Semi Final) and Final 2 heat 23 (Grand Final), the team taking 2nd and 3rd position will be considered the better place team.
