You’re right it isn’t. Let’s hope that vastly improves after the winter track work.

I think the biggest problem is providing a track that promotes and encourages racing, several racing lines and enough grip to enable riders to actually race and overtake others. Most tracks either cannot be bothered or haven’t got the skill to do the job, poorly prepared tracks that are not properly watered and offer no grip or different lines and just provide tracks that are effectively a gating exercise with little or little chance of passing or entertainment. Local tracks to me Kings Lynn and Northampton are classic examples and Ipswich isn’t much better but offers much better viewing and at least free seats to all. If the spectacle is exciting and entertaining it will attract supporters, if it isn’t and just provides boring processional gate and go with smelly toilets and lots of tractor racing it morphs into just another Kings Lynn and nobody bothers to go. -
Wonder who is going to be doing our track work this winter? I hope it isn’t those responsible for doing the Wroclaw track! Their supporters are absolutely fuming on social media after losing to Torun yesterday, many blaming the way the track is prepared and the chronic lack of “racing” 🥴

Nick's cup from Tai's meeting is a big cracker! Hope he can get his hands on more silverware this Saturday!
