40-38

Surely it would have been a good idea to let supporters know that there was doubt and that he was riding through the pain barrier and would see how it went? It's simple comms like this that would stop all some of the moaning at least. As a non BV or Sheffield fan watching that I had no idea what had happened, and let's face it speedway is a sport for the embittered old cynic in all of us.

I'd fancy us against BV and Ipswich, Sheffield I'd be more worried as Fricke doesn't always go that well there. But I can't see us being beaten at BP by anyone the form we're in. Famous last words!

Absolutely. Still, as a Leicester fan I don't often get to moan at anyone else's track, so...😁

You get the feeling though that they could have done 16 laps and nobody would get up the inside.

Should have been at Birmingham, at least you can see more than one rider in camera shot!

Even Holder was bouncing around like it was motocross. I've seen smoother ploughed fields.

GB 1&2, has that ever happened in the SGP?

Given the FIM don't seem to know, the rest of us have no chance!

That was what I assumed.

And Lambert 🙄

Bewley showing his inconsistency again.

No Xmas cards this year between Holder and Lambert!

Hard luck there Tom. Mikkelson celebrating like he's won a world title!

His wife was giving birth last week, I've not heard any update on whether everything was OK, but even so it's a hectic stressful time having a baby.

What makes it even more bizarre is that it doesn't count towards the score. If you really want to have it as a thing why is the result 45-45? It should be 52-47 to Sheffield.

Hard luck Lions. Still think the super heat is ridiculous for anything except the bonus point.

On another note did anyone else attending notice David Hemsley's luminously white new teeth? I did wonder if the blinding flash was what caused Max Fricke to fall off

The criticism of Speedway has always been that the first out the gate wins more often than not. It's the times where that doesn't happen that we all remember and that keeps us coming back for more. Well those of us who are left anyway! I certainly won't defend BP, it's always been a poor shape, but unless someone has the money to rip it up and start again then we're stuck with it, like it or not, so riders/fans/management have to make the best of it. With good prep and riders willing to attack it there can be good races. Unfortunately the latter two things don't always seem to go together and that was painfully obvious last night. Even SD alluded to it in his post match interview.

It was better last week. Not so much dirt this week seemingly.

Nasty accident for Bewley. Long break.

On your phone is fine, they need to scan the QR code.

Constant now.

I love watching him at full tilt anywhere, but with a Tiggers bib on it does stick in my throat somewhat! I do think guests take away from the sport massively. Nobody I've ever tried to get interested can understand it. Can just about get away with doubling up but guests in a team sport?

Never heard so much sour grapes in my life!

Brilliant!!!!
