are you incapable of making any sort of point or counter argument without insulting someone? -

Are you incapable of making any sort of point or counter argument without being a sly sarcastic pr!ck? The point Gavan makes is a fair one. The passing at the NSS is a regular occurrence and I’m sorry, but you CAN get a bit blase with it. “Oh there’s another one” It’s such a big wide open track that a lot of the passes there are unimpressive. You can have an away rider going in to the bends mid track, and can get comfortably passed inside and out by both home riders without even getting close to each other. You don’t get anywhere near the amount of passing at some of the smaller technical tracks, like Eastbourne, Mildenhall etc, but when they do come , you can certainly get more of a wow moment and “how the hell did he manage that?” Ive seen riders make passes at those tracks that took huge skill, and huge b0llocks to squeeze around riders through gaps that didn’t even look possible to get through. Those moments when they come can produce more excitement than any routine pass in every heat at an NSS meeting. To just dismiss that as being inferior shows an elitist attitude and pure snobbery on your behalf. the NSS is also capable of wow moments of course. The British final wasn’t just one of the best races I’ve seen in recent years, it has to go down as one of the best races I’ve ever seen, period. But I wouldn’t want to watch my speedway exclusively from Belle Vue. I prefer a variety of Speedway on different tracks of different shapes and sizes. -
It won't happen. If the biggest bike racing series in the world gets zero coverage, then how can you expect speedway to get any? Even the TT usually only appears in the press when a rider dies. It's been the same for as long as I can remember, it will never change.

Gustafsson was only "so so good from the back" because he never made a start. Actually that unfair he made a start against Coventry and the crowd groaned.

Technically, Iversen doesn't have to have scored much more, because they are rolling averages, which also depend on the old score(s) dropped. There's only 0.7 between #1 and #6. In August, Kvech will be #1, and the in-form Lawson is fifth! Indeed, if the Stars home meeting with BV hadn't been rained-off, they might have had the opportunity to massage Lawson's score to put him at reserve in August. -

But the only way Klindt can have seven rides is as per last night, when a couple of other riders are off form, so there's no benefit.
