Remarkable that we took the bonus to a last heat decider given the cards we’ve been dealt. Whilst the 3 & 5 positions were never going to match the 19 points we got there last time, only 6 points didn’t help the cause. Having a number 1 (world number 2) averaging 5 from his 8 rides is unacceptable. I didn’t see either meeting yesterday as whilst the need for top stars is berated on here, the loss of Dan, who is worth the admission alone in my eyes has dampened my desire to attend. I’m sure it will pass by the time The Aces next take to the track v Leicester.   

Laurence Rogers has been about speedway long enough to get a grip on these things before they happen.

He is one of the all time greats of the sport no one can deny that ,if he was 25yrs old then I could understand his  mindset of carrying on but IMO he will never be the rider he was . 

As a new venture a learning curve is always undertaken. Things can and will go wrong . So far this season all of the things that have gone wrong , are all miner things that will be looked into I'm sure.

Maybe but not intentionally anyway. The major difference even from a decade ago is an awful lot are not on their footrests, it's their flailing legs that makes them look busy on the bike. Many argue they can react better to direction change off the footrest & it's easier to get off the machine if it lifts. As been mentioned before, a lower Horse Power, lower RPM, increased Torque would see riders more controlled & back on their footrests. The issue for me (especially in Poland) is that Zmarzlik has become the Poster-Boy for that 'Wild Style' and riders of significantly lower ability think they can do the same without mastering the basics.

They do NOT take risks for our entertainment. They have a job to do, which is racing motorcycles. Which is dangerous. The better they do, the more they get paid, and therefore, they take risks. It has nothing to do with entertaining us.
