Thank you for the detailed explanation Gavin, very informative , I do hope I didn’t annoy you by posing my question ? but as most of us only see the ‘updates’ without any tv coverage my question was based purely on the points scored by the riders concerned.  I know Kevin tried to explain there is a lot more to a team managers decisions than just the scores on the doors! Good luck for the remainder of the season.

With. The only known cure, I believe, is riding in a Polish Top Tier Final 2nd Leg....

I think that’s very likely, but if it’s the case let’s hope he leaves with a winners medal for his efforts over here the last three years! He’s been an absolute privilege to watch and although he’s struggled this year by his high standards, he’s still flown in and out on a regular basis and been committed to the cause. He missed the tail end of last year after his horrible injury at Sheffield and although he returned for the last couple of meetings in Poland but not here, he wasn’t fit and his absence was understandable. He’s missing Thursday also, but people are forgetting it’s a rearranged fixture that wasn’t in his calendar, and being close to his meeting for Torun and with nothing riding on the rearranged fixture on Thursday, you can somewhat understand his absence there too.   In three seasons, that’s literally all he’s missed. Considering how clubs here have been messed around by foreign riders especially the top ones over the years, Emil has been fully committed here so although it’ll be sad not to see him return, he should leave with our thanks and best wishes.  (and hopefully a winners medal). Bewley will be a fine replacement.           😉

It's 20 races tonight 

Heard ‘Torun Belly’ can be a bitch especially this time of the year 

NO! Obviously another dodgy Polish burger... much like the one Artem Laguta suffered from in 2023, he'll probably go for a run though, like Artem, to get it out of his system 🍔💩
