She’s almost ready.

The event was a bit naff but so is speedway nowadays.  And as for getting Linda Lusardi to do it.... Why not? It needed to be someone the speedway punters could relate to, and is there a better looking lass about their age group?  I read she's 67 - amazing!  She wasn't flaunting herself and remember she even had a part in the Detectorists series  Better than getting some jumped up Gen Z or geriatric ex-rider to do it.  But I'm slightly surprised she even agreed to do it - speedway is never going to boost her image - quite the reverse.     

Roy Keane just said... "That's her job!"....

Ashton is a rare talent, you can tell the way he rides the bike,he is a natural on a bike and that is very rare in this sport,he beat lots of big names in his short career but also lost to absolutely nobody’s by half a lap, that’s not confidence or lack of experience it’s because he has a mental block around riders,it’s not fear or experience or lack of talent, it is a mental block, I pointed this out before last season after watching him ride over a few meetings saying joining kings Lynn was a mistake because the track is a 100% commitment track and will bite you if you’re not committed, he has to get over that block and the only way to get over that is with a sports psychologist, you can’t ride it off, if he did he could of gone on to bigger things because he has got what it takes, I would of like to of known if he was the same in motox and I suspect he was, I’ve seen it in a couple of riders over the years, Justin Elkins was another but he displayed it in a different way
