40-38

They both moved again second time! What was the point!

That's the issue if anybody is going to stop him, he's clearly got speed and bottle, but nobody else in the series really tries to ape him at all. Especially riding against him. Fricke did well, he might have had more chance had anybody been able to pressure Zmarzlik behind him, but it was too easy in the end.

Is that the case or do they just not really try?

Lambert sticking too close to the inside, Zmarzlik has been doing that around the boards all night bar his first race.

I hope it goes ahead, it might be entertaining for once!

Back in the olden days when the sun shone all season and there was passing in every race and GB ruled the shale as we're oft reminded, the BLRC was always at Belle Vue and the British Final always at Coventry. I'm sure people used to complain about that too re advantage, but was there ever any suggestion realistically it would be anywhere else? The best riders should be able to win events at any stadium after all, it's not like the NSS is a trick track, and I doubt many riders fear riding it.

I mean you could, but given we have a National Speedway Stadium we might as well use it for things like this. I genuinely don't agree that it makes that much difference, no guarantee Bewley was going to win it tonight, he nearly didn't.

What was he smoking at the time?

Gate 2 the wrong pick for Brennan. Glad Bewley won it from Woffinden though.

Another break? Certainly think Brennan would be the better choice for a wildcard but I’d love to see Bomber trying to go around Zmarzlik as well!

If he could pull moves like that in the GP he might not be staring down the barrel of elimination.

Ready to film the race to the loo after a dodgy burger?

“We’re just outside Charles Wright’s pit bay, but the crowd is keeping the stadium warm..” sheer poetry.

Certainly livened up the racing a bit. We’re suffering a drought on rider feuds these days.

I wondered if I’d imagined that, certainly looked like it to me.

Aren’t they always these days?

Not interested or just not that ruthless enough kind of rider?

Anybody but Zmarzlik please…

Looks like the inside gate was not the second best pick. Both riders in red last after poor starts.

Lambert does all the hard work getting there and forgets to win the important race again.

D’oh! My maths is almost as bad as Mr Tatum.

Why is Zmarzlik second when he’s on the same points as Fricke and Fricke beat him when they met?

He really doesn’t want to put himself in there, it’s so plain to see. Either nobody is being honest with him or he’s not listening.

In all fairness I love watching him at full tilt winning races. Just be nice if he could do it against Sheffield and Ipswich as well

Fricke on fire tonight!
