It wasn't. Good track curators are rare these days but Plymouth is generally the worst prepared track with numerous avoidable postponements in the last few years. Hopefully you burnt some straw to sort the surface out tonight.

In the middle of bend 1 there's a soft patch/rut that's been troublesome for years & the riders be it professional or amateurs just ride over it on full throttle & it gets the rider around the bend no problem but if the rider slightly shuts off the throttle the bike just hoys the rider into the fence ... It must be a weakness in that part of the track I imagine.. just saying 

Isn't it strange what a few hours make. One away meeting and already this result is written off as almost impossible for King's Lynn.  Only a month or two ago, King's Lynn were murmured to be right up there as by some. The King's Lynn track is up there as one of the most difficult to get to grips with as an away rider, many of the very best in the world has suffered. Although lower level, at least Rushen & Scott have had regular outings on it. I'm not convinced Hellstrom-Bangs will be that handy. The few times watching him, he's an exciting, full gas rider. King's Lynn is not a place to do that at as it can quickly send you to the fence. The reverse of Thursday night or better is absolutely possible.

Shame it took the tractors around 30mins to try and rectify the issues with the track. There were very few issues a couple of seasons ago with Redcar 🫤 I wonder why? After the grading the entrance to bend one continued to clearly show there were issues/uncertainty as the riders appeared not to be comfortable compared to previous visits.
