This one of theproblems you see regarding the second line,how many times did you see the start Marshall tell the rider to move forward to the line only for the rider to move back when the Marshall moves away that's where the Ref should get involved IMO .Warn the riders or throw them out.They will soon learn to stay still.

It's time this anticipating the start lark was put to bed,if a rider doesn't touch the tapes let it go if he does take the "chance"and touches the the tapes he is excluded.That was a joke last night and at most meetings it doesn't matter because for all the re-runs there is usually another couple that could have been " brought back" that weren't .

He has just won the National Championship on the track that the Final is being held ,he surely has to be picked!!ro be honest it won't matter who they pick regarding winning though.

the bend itself is not square,but the exit is narrow which means the cut back has to be really good to come up the inside ,as you can see any decent moves are usually round the outside.The football pitch is main obstacle because a couple of metres of entrance and exits would make a huge difference to the quality of the racing ,unfortunately it will never happen.To compound the matter as Chris Louis alluded too that Theo said the track is being prepared slick in the last few weeks because that's what the riders like ,and it is a gating contest.On the bright side was impressed with Dany Gappmeir looks good for a 5 pt reserve.Ps If you think 3/4 bend at Berwick is square wait till you see the entrance to the 3/4 bend at Glasgow!!

While I am not questioning that you had rain in the afternoon,the forecast I looked at said there would be no rain after 6pm which was correct.It is a damned if you do and damned if you don't nowadays,but fans will will not take a chance these days because of these decisions. yr.no is the site I use which is Norwegian but seems to be more accurate than BBC and other British sites.Its no good Promoters moaning about low attendances when they make erratic decisions when to call matches off. -
Agree,but for someone at his level he has more trouble than most.
-
he does seem to lack mechanical expertise in himself and Team,you can't dispute his commitment during a race when he has a decent bike under him.

Harris scored 7 out of 15 had a 2nd and a 3rd hardly sensational ,but credit is due as he work hard for them.Probably should be a pick given the standard of the other Brits.
-
Agree his starting is on a different planet 9/10.
-
Think the other riders should be trying the Hancock tyre set-up judging by the way it get him out of the gate!

That was a decent GP consider Prague has got a bad reputation for boring meetings.Natural watering is the answer!!

King's Lynn V Coventry Bees (sky) Wed 22nd June
Fromafar replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Some great action ,good meeting.I agree with other comment regarding starting,it appears you have to let the tapes get level with your handlebars or it is deemed you have anticipated the Start!!!! That's not right,nobody was near touching the tapes tonight yet races were brought back.
