Just shows how much riders care about the cups when a rider stands down with immediate effect and will miss the 2nd leg. Howarth will be missed for sure.

I’m iainb, and so’s my wife!

Andy Phillips?

He has said that he has not enjoyed his racing for a while and is stepping away with immediate effect to spend more time with his family. A sad loss to the sport in this country and I am sure many on this forum wish him well in whatever he decides to do.

Loved watching Justin Elkins as the Knights' mascot around Elfield Park! I wish we still had second-half junior racing. Just my opinion, but I think you can probably trace the decline of British speedway talent to the switch to a third division. A connection with clubs was lost that seemed vital for development.

Oh dear, slickfest here we come😁
