Must confess, I am non plussed as to the end game for this rule re UK licenses... Several UK riders down the years have ridden on "foreign licences", Wigg, Cox and Smith being three that come to mind immediately... Lambert is living in Poland, has a Polish wife, and a child on the way, so could tick a few boxes for citizenship, particularly if his child is "Polish". (Torun would be pleased if he was a "home rider" I am sure), so maybe him getting a Polish licence wouldn't be too difficult, (or a German one!).. I am not sure the UK promoters realise that many "top riders" nowadays, don't need to ride several times a week anymore.. If you are getting a £250k signing fee and £2,500 a point, (that and more for the "true elite"), then riding one meeting every weekend in Poland and, (maybe) topping up your income on Tuesday in Sweden, is maybe enough?? Logistically the UK brings its own challenges with equipment needed over here, plus a mechanic, storage, flights etc, so not sure putting barriers up in any way shape or form is a great plan..

What a night last night was.  Awesome performance by the Aces, I was worried without PK, but the lads rose to the occasion, Kurtz and Doyle were at their brilliant best, but special mention for Tate who was once again superb, and Zach Cook who had the hardest job of the night and delivered in every race he was in, especially with his excellent heat 14 win.  The atmosphere was electric, with nerves excitement and chanting from the Aces faithful.  BV v Sheff matches always bring out the best in the fans from both sides IMO.   Special praise for the track staff, after the terrible weather the track was in excellent condition, which was great to see. On to Friday now, Aces in the box seat, but cant be complacent, we need to continue how we rode last night and not think its won. 

If the rumoured two under 21's at reserve is true that would rule out Howarth.

There was an interview with him maybe 10 days ago saying he’d had surgery at end of September and noticed more improvement in that short period than he had done in all the time since the accident, believe he said the nerve had become tangled so been released, hopefully he can now move forward with his recovery plans

I don't see much change at the Tigers, I think Picko is going to be Sheffield's version of Danny King where he'll always be in the 1-7 even if fans are split on it.   1. J. Holder 2. ? 3. C. Holder 4. L. Flint 5. J. Pickering 6. ? 7. ?
