Think you must've been asleep. There was clearly a conscious decision (as was mentioned on the bsn commentary) for track and particular starts to be prepared that way. Given its to be pelting down all week will need some work for Sunday It rained quite a few times at the track on Tuesday. A fairly heavy shower at 3pm really threatened the meeting after on off showers all morning. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Track covers would have prevented that damage, Glasgow cannot control the weather but they do have to choice to try and mitigate against it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I disagree. The track was too wet prior to put track covers down. The base needs to be bone dry for track covers to work otherwise they pull the moisture to the surface. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 5, 2023 Rain forecast all day Friday and all day Saturday. Only got Sunday morning and afternoon to get the track raceable. Got to expect another quagmire for this first leg if it goes ahead on Sunday teatime. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday are forecast dry, but I am thinking Glasgow would get a much bigger crowd on a Sunday, and riders will have to adapt to very difficult track conditions. Could well be a repeat of the Oxford meeting racing wise. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could well be a repeat of the Oxford meeting racing wise. Rain is forecast, but not loads by Glasgow standards. The banking helps with drainage too. Of course the ground gets much colder at this time of year, which doesn't make it a lot harder. We'll see. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nickinho 429 Posted October 5, 2023 Great result on Tuesday evening but with the weather the way it is and the reports looking abysmal i can see why this fixture has been moved to Sunday afternoon. Good call by the management. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HGould 2,213 Posted October 5, 2023 In terms of entertainment, the integrity of the sport and fair play I'd be far more worried about 6 days of sunny dry weather in Poole. A slick motorway dust bowl for gating tarts certainly isn't goint to help Bomber, Basso, Tereshenko, Brennan or Complin 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
