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.

As it typically is with most Rising Stars. Away from home, realistically the most you’d ever hope for is 3 points from 3 rides, beating your fellow rising star in heat 2, 4 (if a reserve switch isn’t made), and 8. Saying that, even if they got 1 from 3, as a TM you’d be happy with that away from home.  No one is expecting the RS to go and win the meeting. I think at Lynn we’ve just had enough of seeing Boughen give up going into the 1st corner if he hasn’t hit the front. We just want to see a trier, who gives 100% effort all the time, regardless whether they finish 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th
