This riding above their average theory doesn’t wash with me.He is not going to improve much,was he brought in to beat the 2pt men.Thompsen out of the reserves is also a problem.Cairns might steady the reserve problem, but others will have to improve.

Kerr and Starke not up to the job.

Don’t think they are riding for peanuts though.

Told you in my Post,

I agree the disjointed fixture list doesn’t help regarding regular attending.Even though there are less Teams they really need to plan it more regularly (ie fortnightly at least)This 4-5 week break in the middle of summer (for some teams)is killing the sport.Enthusiasm is waning for a lot of fans,especially is the Team is struggling and they drift away with the irregular fixture list IMO.

Top Men aren’t interested in GB unless silly money is on offer.Even then they are just topping up the Bank Account.No risk Speedway from them.

Think the riders know when somebody decent gets in front on slick track no point in thrashing your engine just wait for next race.(excluding Bomber)

Plus they had dirt too rake back in.

When you say better you mean a bit of grip probably ,the track is a superb shape and well prepared.Like I have said it’s the riders that want it slick ( Batchelor is an example just want to gate and go,or he gives up at the back).

Between Tolley and L.R it would seem they couldn’t run a raffle.An Expensive one in Tolleys case.

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.

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.

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

They have also lost at home though,don’t think that was in the plan.🤔

Agree very good meeting.Some great racing at Ashfield.

1968

He was looking for dirt to grade.🤔

Boughen just shuts the throttle in tight situations.

We’re a 3 1/2 man Team though.

No lack of effort from all the Bandits. well done Tigers ,deserved the win.Good match.

Bandits are competitive.

When the going gets tough Lambert tends to go missing if he doesn’t gate.The new scoring system should help him ,but 1 rider from the last chance heats maybe spoils it with the hard chargers coming to the fore (Lingren Doyle and Bartosz don’t take prisoners in these situations)

Bastion not living up to expectations threw a spanner in the works even although he had a low average improvement was expected.Sam has had a ropey start to the season,moving into 3or 4 is big ask.Danyon being inconsistent does help matters though. The rest are doing OK.Hopefully Cookie continues his very good start to the season.unfortunately very small league makes it a short season if your not on it from the start.

He figured that out for the last 2 seasons .IMO His ride and pass of Kurtz tonight was sublime.Had to win to get 1st gate choice just stepped up and did it.
