As there's no asset system anymore and some of these RS's are put through the mincer on a regular basis and most clubs don't seem to mind who rides for them when it comes to guests etc... I wonder if there's any value in having a pool of RS's that move around the clubs, like on a merry go round, on a month by month basis. So Killeen starts the season and spends April at Oxford, May at Leicester, June at Sheffield, July at Belle Vue, August at Birmingham and September at King's Lynn etc. etc. Just an idea

A dry inside line, ONE line, develops very early because they’re all using it and follow each other through it. They worked hard sorting the camber through the winter to create more banking, but it’s had the complete opposite effect. I don’t understand it. Riders were going all over the track last year, King frustrated everyone by going nowhere BUT the outside line, but even he now takes the inside route! Something has clearly gone wrong with the alteration.    This was from a few weeks ago, explaining how much track they’ve “cut” down. You have to wonder whether in their efforts to create better banking, they’ve cut down too far to the foundations. I’ve never seen a blue groove at Foxhall in all the years I’ve been attending. 

Would have been interesting to see them if it was grippy last night night. Was like concrete last night. Was probably slicker than an NDL match.

Good job he was absent last night….

Tate had an excellent race at Scunthorpe last week, close to other riders. I don’t doubt that his injury may on his mind but think Edinburgh’s track had something to do with it as well. 

Harrison is great at his home track not so good away from home.
