Sad but true.Think it just represents the financial state the sport is in these days in UK.

I know,I was just giving an example.

Like you say no excuses really.

I agree some could be caught out by “ over the counter” prescription medication,but like Kyle Howarth situation if you declare what you have taken and it tally’s with test outcome you will be exonerated.Pharmacist’s can’t be expected to know everything regarding banned drugs in sport,he just reads the label.Rider confidentiality seems to stop SCB explaining different reasons for length of bans.

Professional sportspeople should not be failing drug test given how much information they are given nowadays.

If you his article he was not feeling well to add to his fall.!

Don’t think the Mon/Thurs would help Speedway in General if there was a merger. Championship does not have to bow too Premiership demands .IMO.Premiership is the League in the most difficulty let them get on with it.

The weather forecast was not great and people like myself are not prepared to travel giving the experiences of riders attitudes if damp, raining or wet tracks.Scottish weather is so local and unpredictable it certainly doesn’t help matters.

He rode in Poland last year.

Think bringing Nowak back was a mistake.IMo

Can only see a Oxford win.

I don’t particularly like this method either but like you say they know the score before the start.One thing that it does ,it probably stops riders “having a word “with other riders who are not in contention in last few heats to “ take it easy” in certain circumstances.We all know it happened in the past.Great meeting yesterday though. Gates were pretty even and riders had difficult decisions.

He just not improved this season.Wasn’t a strong favourite yesterday.IMO.Rowe and Dan Gilles have improved a lot.IMO.They are also doing well in Poland.

Excellent advert for the young Brits.Interesting to see how many can make the jump to the next level though.You have too wonder how the sport in GB is going to help them though.

Think they can enter if they wish,some use as a safety net in case they don’t make Top 6 and wouldn’t get wild card.Not sure if each country have so many slots they can fill.If Bewley wanted to ride in them I’m sure he would have got a slot (as he did last season).

Kubera was actually in the Challenge at Glasgow that Nilsson won.He was hopeless.He is a talent though.

Bit of an exaggeration ,there were others every bit as good.Conner also missed the gate in the Final.It was a good meeting.you have been watching too much at Poole where if you miss the gate you probably don’t win.

More likely the averages was the main factor.

You obviously weren’t watching.Anything but slick track.Plenty racing lines.

Leon has certainly stalled this season,could be he is trying to cram too much in riding wise and not got the set up in place.

Track was brilliant IMO.Conner was superb in that final.He certainly can ride Ashfield.Don’t know the circumstances but I think it was a mistake for Tigers to let him go on loan.Benefits him though.

Some brilliant action ,well done to all riders.What a final.

And

Thompson and MM weren’t exactly setting the world on fire last night.

Possibly also a free pass for his entourage.
