I thought poole were going to win the treble this year. I expected Bowes/Newman maybe out the door soon.

Of course! So he didn't miss a meeting over here because of it? If he wants to waste his time travelling over to Poland for no rides that's his lookout I suppose 👍🏻

I don't watch BSN so didn't see the original running, but that exclusion was a complete non-event. Rushen moves slightly wider to avoid his teammate, he doesn't even run Etheridge to the fence. Can you imagine Etheridge in an Ekstraliga first turn? I know he wouldn't be within 50ft of any other rider, but if he thinks that's hard riding...!

Should imagine the rule makers will be summoning Etheridge to explain himself. Throwing a punch at a minor carries a severe penalty.     

It was announced as 66 seconds which was around 10 seconds slower than conventional heats that day but nearer to the times clocked at Monmore back in 1973.
