It does for me... I'm expected to pay the same price this week and the opposing team are turning up without their top rider who wasn't injured enough to even pull out of the meeting he sustained the injury in. This coming the match after Sheffield turned up without their number 1 rider because he decided to go to a qualifier for a competition he currently already qualifies for next year!

There's a rumour going around, that Hawkins has been given his own parking space at the AFA..        

I'd be surprised if Kurtz rode in the UK in 2026, Already started to bail out of meetings this year.

No Pickering & this heatwave will absolutely hamper track prep, could swing this King's Lynn's way I'm feeling.

If Belle Vue fans aren’t bothered and are happy for him to miss the meeting then everyone else’s opinion doesn’t really matter I suppose. For me, it is his decision and if he isn’t ready or fit then it is what it is, but if he isn’t 100% then he should miss the SGP as well, it’s the same feeling I had for our rider in Doyley, shouldn’t have rode x2 SGPs. Priority should be full fitness, that was the reason for my first post about this. Until you’re 100% you shouldn’t ride British, Polish or SGP. If Wroclaw aren’t pushing him to be back for there meeting then we know for sure he isn’t 100% and SGP is something that could push his progress further back, however if he rides for Wroclaw then he has chosen to miss Belle Vue. That’s IMO.

taking into account your recent predictions should be an easy Lynn win in that case 👍
