Entertaining meeting on a beautifully prepared track. The track changed constantly as the dirt moved out and the moisture evaporated quickly. It is a constant battle to retain enough moisture on such a wide track in full sun and breeze. The two Comet 5-1's in heats 12 and 14 both involving Cooper Rushen who fully demonstrated his superb bike skills and advanced racing brain for someone only 16 sealed the meeting for the Comets after it was all square at the interval with a few  home fans getting a bit uneasy. The job was completed in heat 15 with classy win by Comets No1 Jonas Jeppesen from the impressive Josh Pickering with Cookie 3rd.  Young Niklas started really well but appeared to suffer bike problems in his 3rd ride which probably curtailed his scoring. It was great to see Tate win heat 14 this can only be good for his confidence. The skipper started really well but at the sharp end of the meeting was on the wrong end of Scunny heat advantages in heats 11 and 13.  The Scorps battled away with every rider chipping in at times. Stand outs were Picko and young Ryan Ingram at no7 whose progress is impressive. Good to see Captain Comet make a return, big well done to whoever it is 😉🤣 UTC.

This is the realistic view. Anyone looking for Mario to be another Villads will be disappointed. He's not. Villads is an elite prospect, an established SGP2 rider and an SGP3 medallist. Mario is not. Yes, he has a team medal, but that's from one meeting where yes, he did really well, but you also need to keep it in perspective. If you compare Villads to Mario in the Polish league last year, there's a big difference. In the second tier, Villads was 7th in the averages, Mario was 35th. Converting to British style averages, Mario averaged 4, Villads averaged 7.4. Villads also comes from Denmark, and their tracks and climate is a much more natural transition for a rider coming to Britain. None of this is to say Mario is a bad signing. I always saw it as a risk, and a much bigger risk than Kevin Juhl Pedersen, but one well worth making. What matters is his progression come August/September. He will struggle at some tracks, but the hope is that he learns and comes back stronger next time he sees them. I'm sure he'll be fine at home once he's had a few race meetings too, which is always different to practice. Give the guy a chance, but don't build him up to be something he was never going to be either.

Well, as far as I am aware, they're the only organising body to have made any statement about the issue at all.

Floodlights were intended to be in before the season started with a 6pm start, the electricity board haven’t installed them yet though.

Derek Sneddon is hoping your wrong.
