He has 5th degree burns on his hand and wrist to see the plastic surgeon today

Any news on wee Max? 

The transponder device  placement in the track is 1/2 dia of front wheel back from finish line.The transponder on the bike is on the top of the front forks.

So a NORA licence has been approved and a scheduled meeting planned for 6 September. Hope they get a decent crowd and well done to everyone involved.

Can someone explain to me the transponder placement? I know they exist but have no understanding of them at all. Presumably they’re not on the front wheel so how can they tell who crossed the line first?

Glasgow when they track their full seven, imo are the best team in the CL & if Nagel had been available, they would probably have added to their winning margin, given his guest replacement, Jacob Hook, did not score a point from his four rides. Howarth's scoring from no.5 is  impressive, especially when matches go down to the wire & the Harris/Howarth combination usually deliver the coup de grace in  heats 13 & 15. For Monarchs a key factor in their recent decline in performance is that Victor Palovaara is still trying to recover from pneumonia which  apparently has absolutely done him in.  In hindsight it might have been better to have given him more time to fully recover. One positive I took from tonight's match, was MPT's best ride at the Dale since joining us, in heat 14 where he stalked Flint until the last bend & burst through on the inside to take the win.
