Craig, once again, giving his critics a metaphorical kick in the bollox... "But he won't keep it up, Boo Hoo,I am right"...😁 Great to see the lad winning and enjoying his racing .. Shame the Aces didn't go for him but well done Oxford for giving him the chance . And he is riding only at reserve so 5 points a match is the only target, not 15... "See, I knew he couldn't keep up those big scores, I was right again"...😁 Hope he has a great season .

its not his engine that needs tuning.

Very sad news from yesterdays British Superports race at Oulton. an eleven rider pile up after the first bend sadly claimed the life of Owen Jenner and Shane Richardson. I believe seven of the riders involved in the pile up were injured with Tunstall picking up serious injuries. Best wishes to Tom for a full recovery and RIP Owen and Shane. As. You can imagine the meeting was abandoned. The risks these guys take to entertain us deserves more than just a few lines on a forum, but thanks to all riders for the entertainment you provide us with. thoughts are with Owen and Shane’s families. Rest in Peace guys and thank you .

If you look back at the GP results over the years there were never 10 or so riders putting up areal 5 fight we had multiple World Champions and same 4-5 rider filling 2/3rd spots.BZ is the best rider out there and the scoring system makes it even better for him.

The bank holiday lunch time meetings do Belle Vue no favours, track will always be different for those than the usual Monday evening conditions, which nibbles away at the home track advantage. It might make the club a few more quid with extra fans making the journey but racing Isn’t as good and puts home team on back foot also.

It was shocking 2nd half with a blue groove and literally clouds of dust! They didn't attempt to save it getting like that so come off it!

Hume is struggling for Berwick in the Championship. What the hell were the promotion thinking about expecting any different performances in the premiership. What a farce. Try tempting Timo Lahti over, I’m sure he would be available and do a sterling job.

It seems all riders prefer slick tracks mores the pity, only Bomber says he'd like more shale on track.

You forgot the word POTENTIALLY. Young Cairns looks a very good prospect, I've seen him ride a few times. But don't start believing he's the new messiah until he's earned the right while dining at the big boys table. Same with Rushen, the two of them are great prospects but league racing and the pressure that they'll be under is a different level to what they've faced so far. I'd completely forgotten his name and remembered it straight after posting. Look at Kyle Bickley he win everything as a kid, where's he now ? So much pressure and anticipation put on his shoulders. Maybe in a few years he'll comeback, who knows.

Should have made it top 2 non GP riders.. One night each.. Keep more riders interested as they go into the semi final...

But... It is only a Play Off Qualifier, with a top 4 place pretty much assured this year given the Aces' usual home form as the dryer weather slickens the track and improves the racing and their passing of opponents.. The BH meetings generates good income and a win, no matter the scoreline, is a bonus...

That's sound like an offer of help that the club can not miss. I know that some track volunteers will be there on Sunday from 8am. Shall I make sure they know you are coming?

Ashton has so much talent...but I can see him walking away even if he isn't replaced at both of his teams, which is a distinct possibility right now. When he gates and is in fresh air he is absolutely rapid. When he doesn't gate, he is shutting off and not wanting anyone remotely close to him. Kings Lynn fans have said that at times he is just giving up while at the back and looks devoid of any confidence. It is such a hard watch and hopefully he gets these problems sorted as soon as possible, because he has talent to burn. Nobody wants to see it wasted.

Leon Flint must be one of the most improved riders in the PL. I think he's surprised everyone with his early season form.

Cook 15pt max for Oxford at Birmanham tonight.Good to see him in good form

Injuries should not concern you, just get Robert Lambert over.

Does no one talk to their friends or people standing next to them anymore. OK if it's raining I can understand why people want a quick meeting. But yesterday the weather was fine and there was plenty to talk about. Fans ask for more dirt and don't want dust but then don't want delays when it needs graded or watered.

Not much, I don't know him personally but it appears the problem is not his machinery. I wish him all the best and hope he overcomes it as he has the talent to go a long way in the sport.

Lahti was superb in Sweden tonight.

Heeps is not that good around Poole, and with Masters taking one of his rides, that's a good chance of 3pts straight away

It can be exciting but it very much depends on which track you're watching the action... and of course we all know that Pirates fans will turn out to watch speedway... but only on a Wednesday, as there's so much else to do in Poole for the rest of the week 😉

Round 2 Premier Sports match is Vastervik v Dackarna on Premier Sports 2 at 5.55pm next Tuesday 13th May

Touche You got me on the grammar,I was posting on my phone without my glasses, in my defence Cairns may very well be a step up from Bickley, I along with many others hope he is. Time will tell.

Not making excuses, but the area has been incredibly dry for weeks, and summer-time hot for several days - plus the dreaded wind that impacts the exposed Heath. There are photos of the track surface prior to the match on the Facebook page. As for delays after crashes, the Regs have always stated that the track cannot be touched before a restart or rerun - although I think there’s a proviso that remedial work can be carried out of the track is deemed to be at fault for the incident.

Cook will end up with a 5 point Premiership average if he rides enough matches

Heeps is notoriously crap around Poole.

Seems like the process is seen as more important than the purpose - which is rarely a recipe for success

Was watching this live and could see it was a shocking accident fair play to the camera man for turning the camera away straight away RIP

The meeting was about 8 minutes longer than the previous one at Workington, however we didn't eat the not just cakes but impressive buffet platter until the end. I had a small cake just before the start and was choking on a crumb between reading the teams out, bit of a hazard.

Maybe they should have brought in Cook🤔

He rode against a few of them last season in the u19 Final at Oxford won his first 2 races then had a crash and withdrew.

I noticed that used to happen at Berwick a lot, they'd grade the track at the same times every meeting. If they'd use r/r there would be a gap after one heat, nothing done, then track grading when no riders had two-on-the-trot. It was like it was an automated system they couldn't change, rather than the reality of telling the tractors the best times to go out.

Yep..... Oxford last year. Almost deja vu.

Not really, his forays into the Premiership in recent seasons have not been very successful. He is such an enigma though - the point I was making is that this had to come against Birmingham!

speedway as much mental as physical, and lose the mental side of it you are done.

Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance

I think Zischke deserves some credit for an improved performance. Outscored several teammates & even beat Jack Holder.

At the risk of tooting my own horn I'll remind people of my predictions lol!

It seems the more he tries, the more he's denting his already low confidence. He really would benefit from stepping back or even down. It's a shame. He's only a young lad and we all know he has the skills and talent but with that comes such massive expectations.

Proud of the boys, did a lot better than some expected, and to stop Ipswich getting 60 at home is some going (don’t think a lot of teams will achieve that this season). I sat exactly inline with the start/finish on the back straight and saw multiple nibbles at the start, with only Klindt getting pulled back. My only gripe is, if you’re going to enforce it, you have to consistently enforce it. At the end of the day I’m humble enough to admit the better team won, once Ipswich got settled on the lacklustre track that was that, as they have too much firepower at the back end of meetings.

I do worry for Birmingham and wonder if they will see out the season. I can't see the punters showing up to watch a team unlikely to win a single meeting.

This 👇 ... or you maybe able to follow the same link as @gjcone44 suggests on a Web browser on your tv, if its a smart tv or a connected smart device, firestick, android box etc. I do this and watch it from the comfort of my arm chair

FFS stop embarrassing yourself! You come across as having all the intellect of a retarded Hamster. Just stop, please.

Not if you don’t make the play offs! Lynn were decent at Ipswich, better than when Belle Vue came here

simplest way got to international speedway on this forum, on your computer and people put a link up you just click the link and it takes you to the site. https://vk.com/speedwayrussian click on this for instance see what you get. let me know

Decent effort from the boys today. Shame Klindt and Kvech couldn't maintain their performance all the way through the meeting. As for Boughen, i'd replace him immediately. He may be quick on a track on his own but he needs to realise there are 3 other riders in a race. Shutting down and totally bottling it! Him staying in the team will do no-one any favours. I'd go for Joe Thompson - can't be any worse!

Why? In reality he only needs to get 3-4 points a meeting imo.

Wouldn't be speedway if no one found something to moan about . I like beer , gaps in proceedings allows me to get some , thanks Mr tractor driver

I agree, laguta is a brilliant rider and very fast but I’ve seen laguta when the track doesn’t suit him, you don’t see that in zmarzlik, there is plenty of riders who beat zmarzlik but those riders then go missing in the next round, even on his bad days zmarzlik never goes missing
