Diamonds85 705 Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Really feel for James, he's not really a rider I've followed much and don't know a lot about him, however it's awful seeing him so disappointed and worried about his health and progress, I would love to see him back on a bike, enjoying himself again asap, but I fear it'll be a long while before that happens again. The life of a speedway rider, who'd want it? Hope he recovers fast, and that he can be supported by the Ben Fund.

I would hardly call an extra 35 meters as 'twice the size'... I think the original poster was just referencing the speed of the tracks I guess? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redcar 266 m Ashfield 302 m not a great difference, but Conner bailey gonna be riding for Workington and that track will be very similar to Redcar. So could be a benefit to both rider and club 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to check your facts regarding “ twice the size”. Edited March 2, 2023 by Fromafar 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True I remember when Pizza Hut had those 18 inch pizzas always asked if you wanted it cut into 6 or 12 slices. I always got 6 as I don’t think I could’ve ate 12. 1 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yearbyred 1,117 Posted March 11, 2023 Was looking forward to going to practice tomorrow but not surprised it’s off. Looks like the Bears might have team race suits this year looking at Erik Riss on the BSN press day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While I've never been a fan of race suits & always preferred race jackets (partly as it's easier to recognise the riders) I must admit the Bears race suits looked really smart! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Redcar have put a nice subtle touch on their race suits which helps with that issue. Each rider has a different colour just above their elbow to help differentiate the riders. Nothing massive, but a clever idea from whoever designed their race suits! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
