Can only assume it’s me not paying attention but I never even heard of the British speedway podcast 

I've not seen it but just from reading the description on updates it sounded like a nothing fall... and he was stuck under the air fence. Another case of a rider ending up under the air fence, why is this still happening some 20 years after their introduction 🤷‍♂️

That's because all involved it the Redcar track preparation are completely clueless and have been since Johnny swales resigned. 

I would imagine they are waiting for all rider contracts to be signed before they announce, that would be my guess. 

Is there still nothing on the riders for the coming season?

I was sitting about 20 yards away and had a clear view of the track. From what i recall, Underwood hit a rut mid bends 3-4 and lost control. He clattered into Ray who was on a wider line. As you say, Ray went under the fence and sustained a broken femur. Doug i think flew over the fence and landed on the dog track without serious injury. It was of course already a dreadful season, but the sight of Ray being loaded into the ambulance added a big extra feeling of gloom. I think it was a league match v Reading, result something like 31-47?
