Sounds exactly the same as we saw at the GP’s. Still sharp as ever getting out of the gate, but after a lap or two in obvious discomfort and stuck in reverse. That’s  purely a fitness issue. He’s had two extended breaks now to let it settle and he still isn’t fit. I fear for him at the moment I’ve got to be honest. 

What another fantastic night of speedway at the Norfolk Arena for the Stars. Really didn’t have high hopes going into the meeting, and was expecting Ipswich to never get out of second gear and still win comfortably. How I was proved wrong.  It great to see some atmosphere, and Lynn fans giving Witches fans some stick as they swiftly tried to exit after heat 14. 

Not compared to last season where he was riding almost daily and it seemed to suit him! He uploads his weekly schedule on his twitter feed and there’s been many weeks where he’s only had one meeting. In theory he should be on an upward trajectory this season because he’s riding as a second string as opposed to a heat leader berth at 1 or 5 like at Birmingham last year, but if anything he’s gone in the opposite direction! Still plenty of time though to turn that all around. 

That's not fair on the home made programme brigade, it's more work for them, driving people away from our sport! (and before anybody comes at me... I used to be a member of that brigade before I weaned myself off of them 😝)

Yet people keep telling me nowt wrong with the track, looking at the shape it looks okay but week in week out it fails to allow for good speedway, there seems to be one line and when riders move off that line there is nothing for them, for years i have banged on about the track but nothing has been done, now it's to late no point when they are closing in a few months. The post above seems to suggest the riders seem to prefer to race away from Perry Barr which just about sums it up, may i suggest Brum ride every meeting away from home at least Tolley would not need to dip so deep into his pocket every meeting and make excuses most weeks about the track prep, hey we would still have a Birmingham team if they did that and then they could drop down to the Championship, I had better keep my mouth shut knowing the BSPL they might think that is a good idea 😉🤣.

No you missed my point, I said he shouldn’t have even turned up at the weekend. I.e shouldn’t have rode at SGP, was clear to see he wasn’t ready, what has an extra 3/4 points gained him in the series honestly over 2 GPs, I’d say it’s worked against him because he then had to ride last night which wasn’t the right call and again probably on the back foot for Gorzów due to aggravating his injury.
