The only negative tonight is Ben barkers injury and hopefully it’s not serious but if it is it’ll be interesting to see if the may make two changes.    I don’t know off the top of my head if there is someone on a 7.57 that can replace Bens points at home. I’m not sure how far Riss would be away but he could be a straight swap.   However you could possibly make 2 changes with barker and Spencer and that could cover the points. Would have 9.57 to cover for two riders. 

R/R worked out again ending with 10+1. Batchelor seemed to have more speed this week while his gating remains elite as ever, whereas Jeppesen seemed to struggle out the starts Max Perry impressive again, really good signing for us. Found something surprising looking at the stats seems like Batchelor has rode in every Comets meeting since the relaunch in 2024, 61 meetings in a row. Unless I'm mistaken, can't be many riders in British Speedway on that kind of streak for one club? (Lawson, Harris maybe??) Probably used to happen all the time years ago, but not so much in modern times.  

Klindt is just Dick Turpin in disguise.

The sooner Redcar get rid of Klindt the better. I would take a half fit Wright over Klindt, at least some effort would be put in!

Pleased for Gary May and Plymouth. A shame BSN didn’t cover both legs of the semi. Was almost tempted to buy the stream tonight. Should imagine the final against Poole is going to be packed out. Looking forward to it already.

Urm track looked good i have to say cant have been optimal to prepare with the weather.  Oxford took a few races to get dialled in but it was a good contest. Masters was in a class of his own (bar bike issues) and Eddie Kennett rode really well i thought. Always enjoy watching Zischke, bit slow to begin with but finished strongly as per. Max Perry impressed. Not sure what is going on with Jeppesen? bikes look slow out the start? Left for dead in Heat 6 and 13. Batchelor did him a favour in 15 and Masters i reckon with another lap would have had him. Mcdiarmid being excluded was comical viewing. Brannan's comical explanation that he was tired was well comical. Good meeting but i will turn off the volume next time, fed up of the bullcrap propaganda.
