Personally I feel really let down by him last season. Rider of the year and led us to another league title, but we didn't win the KOC. For that I'll never forgive him. 

Imagine getting angry about something that hasn't even happened. Wroclaw posted the exact same thing last time and he didn't ride. Clearly not 100% and you can afford to miss a league meeting more than a GP, especially if you're 2nd wanting to be 1st. 

Yes I'm a worky supporter, but staying over Friday nite to do Northumbria coast and wildlife spotting on my way to bandit country 

Losing Ritchings early was bad luck not good luck, Starke looked knackered at the end. Ritchings has been doing well.

If you're injured, you're injured. I'd take Doyle over Kurtz in my team every day of the week. Kurtz letting Belle Vue down again for a 2nd season and the Captain too!

Smith had already had a nudge from Smarte before he clattered into Ritchings.  Upon reflection my first comment on last night's meeting was a bit harsh, the track particularly turn 4 looked difficult to ride and the relatively slow race times seemed to support that. I just would like to see more racing from our riders.
