Does age even come into it? Hancock has been class - world class - since the day he arrived at Cradley and the fact he is arguably the best rider in the world right now is down to his remarkable ability, the way he looks after himself and/or the fact the Grand Prix doesn't have a plethora of quality riders like Rickardsson, Crump or Gollob etc.

Hmmm! No thanks to Len on a bike but would pay to watch another Andrew Silver cameo! Still remember that comeback maximum... Looks like another few weeks of watching Bunyan give it his all beckons.

What are the chances of an exciting signing or two to lighten the end of season gloom, a bit like the Ace of Herts audition but earlier? Dakota North or Simon Gustafsson looked half tidy in the Elite League death knell farce last night. Not sure how the averages would work out as do not have a PHD in Pure Mathematics which is the minimum you need these days!

Rob Woffinden definitely a Silver signing back in early 1985 with Keith Millard - remember him?! Worst Rye House team was 1987 with a home loss guaranteed without a Jens Rasmussen 21 point max - and no 6 pointers in those days!
