While bonus points are being briefly discussed its always bothered me that a rider finishing 3rd in a 3-3 gets a bonus point.  Yes on a 5-1 where both opposition riders have been beaten but why award a point for a 3-3 when a rider could finish 3rd in a 4-2 heat and not be awarded a bonus point? Ultimately both situations an opposition rider has finished ahead but its beneficial for the 3rd placed rider if his team doesn't win the heat/get a heat advantage. Any stat people out there know how many bonus points had to be paid out last season?

To ride that well and come away with nothing to show for it must be a sickener. Both meetings with identical scores, but Ipswich then having home advantage in the superheat for the aggregate bonus point doesn’t seem fair does it. 

All this hype about moving from windows 10 to 11  im going back to the old way as in photo above.

Do not want to get involved in the squabbling but Leon Flint has been around a while now and seems unable to get set-up rights far too often. Personally think he has reached his level 3rd Heatleader/ second string in  Championship.Dont think he has the backing to do the amount of meetings he is trying to fit in. Track is the same for everybody.

To be fair Ritchings, Spencer and Butcher are too old, Max James and Sam McGurk struggled at CL level (although James will come good), Summers its too early and i still struggle that there is a team place even at NL level for Meadows so hardly surprising that they looked elsewhere.

One wonders whether they'd have been quite so friendly whilst racing for the world title though, that's the difference.
