Only Worrall can't be arsed the others are clearly injured, there's no way Schlein pulls out otherwise.

Well I'm still looking forward to it, normally has some unexpected results and good racing.

Thats my plan, was going to make a 6hr round trip but with the riders on show it doesn’t seem worth it. I can’t believe they don't invite woffy / lambert, everyone knows there are no real rules for qualification & the reason they don’t invite those 2 is purely because they’re salty they don't ride in this country. Would be understandable if there was a plethora of other, similar ability riders available but there simply isn't. Add on top of that is a one off final, they should be putting out the best line up possible to sell the event.

Same here though I’m bit further at 6 hours 13 minutes. Once I heard Worrel, Schlein and Cook were missing, I though count me out.
If Ben Barker withdraws, I’m not even taping it.

About 4 hours each way for us, plus any stops, so hope the weather behaves

Me neither and the powers that be wonder why the sport is struggling. At least United match in on live.

Do they make XXL Kevlars? 

You would only need kevlars if you let someone get in front of you

No doubt Rob Godfrey will be making his annual TV address tonight...maybe he'll announce a 10 round championship next year and the date for the Jubilee Trophy Final

I heard his plan was to introduce a European Super League but there are two problems to overcome : riders doubling up and race nights

And what do you propose Promoters with a "don't give a monkey's" be dealt with? 

For the two decades the BSPA and SCB have diluted the sport almost to the point of no recovery all out of greed for their own teams
