Which has surprised me, I suppose when you see him riding here there and everywhere coupled with the below par performances from the rest of the team sometimes his performances can become a bit of a blur. I was referring too some of his performances away aswell but yeah he’s been our best rider by a mile this season so far. I think a lot have become expectant with basso because of how could he can be but still needs time on some of the away tracks, we shouldn’t be looking at him too be scoring the most points or 2nd most points each meeting.

Poland is late August/early September at best- Denmark mid September and Sweden early/mid September. People think he might be back late July because that is what the club told everybody! http://kingslynn-speedway.com/news.php?extend.31208 Believe it when I see it though.

iainb 5,022 Posted July 6, 2022 Have to say it was great to see a Speedway meeting can be run in under 1 hour 45 minutes with a 10 minute parade, a 10 minute interval and both teams running R/R. A lesson many other promotions could learn from 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't say I'm a fan of slowing races down like that unless it's trying to keep a team mate ahead ie team riding. Should add a bit of spice to the next Scottish derby anyway.

Yes, the slowing in heat 15, I think some tracks, the smaller ones, lend themselves better to this sort of thing than the big Peterborough track where the speeds are so much higher for longer. I can't understand why it's not being made a thing though, it's not everyday we hear a rider calling another rider dirty, not in the media anyway. You'd think the promotions would be trying to stoke some local rivalry up out of this... but nothing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And criticising another rider for going slow is a case of the pot calling the kettle black! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
