If you're injured, you're injured. I'd take Doyle over Kurtz in my team every day of the week. Kurtz letting Belle Vue down again for a 2nd season and the Captain too!

Smith had already had a nudge from Smarte before he clattered into Ritchings.  Upon reflection my first comment on last night's meeting was a bit harsh, the track particularly turn 4 looked difficult to ride and the relatively slow race times seemed to support that. I just would like to see more racing from our riders. 

Speedway in this country is dying a slow death. Poor crowds , poor stadiums and tracks, except the obvious one. The riders know it , that’s why they’re not into it 100%. And we the supporters know it deep down. If there was a possible light at the end of the tunnel, a Barry Hearn character would have jumped on and grabbed it. The fact that nobody has says it all . We can only reminisce about the good old days that will sadly never be repeated. It’s not all doom and gloom though. What gorgeous weather we’re having ☀️👍

With further teams demise in the Winter there is every likelyhood of fewer teams having a SGP rider.     

They should ban him for being injured... So one of the few genuine World Class riders willing to ride over here, misses even more meetings, so even more fans can not see him ride... I am going to become a BSP consultant with that plan...

You could also question why Premiership matches are getting run on the Thursday's before GP's... Is it only 9 weekends  this year? With BV being x2... Therefore, given so few meetings, and every Monday is "UK exclusive", have these 9 Thursdays blank, or let Div 2 use them if they want to.. I am sure the riders would appreciate the time to prepare and not have the impending GP on their minds whilst racing the Thursday before...
