40-38

Brilliant!!!!

Like it or not them's the rules, so nothing to be embarrassed about.

Lindgren has completely sodded off there! Team riding? Wot team riding.

Cracking battle between Millik and Pollestad there!

Lions as per normal but R/R for Jack Holder and Troy Batchelor guests for Tai Woffinden. Can the Lions beat a patched up Sheffield or will they run us as close as they did Oxford on Monday?

Something about ripping it up too early.

Not a good track, dirt is so far out that anything other the scraping the fence won’t work.

Seems slightly overwatered in these initial heats.

Becker really is dire, phoning it in completely.

Impressed with Killeen, tidy rider and not adrift at all.

I could swallow that if he was crap at and hated BP but did ok at other tracks, but he’s been dreadful away too.

Certainly something has to change at either 3 or 4 because that is killing us at the moment.

I have an amazing idea they can use, it’s called television camera. It’s on a fixed point with an experienced operator pointing it at the action.

You did, I hear he’s good friends with Dan Bailey.

Masters the only rider I’ve ever seen with a brake! Has he tried the engine from a Flymo?

Luke Killeen guesting in place of Hagon now.

There aren't any replacements, it's probably as well to write this year off. Cook/Kemp and Thompson/Hagon were both just deckchair shuffling. The only change to make would involve taking a punt on an unknown Pole or similar and no way will Stewart do that, it also might not make any difference anyway. I didn't think I'd say this but I reckon we need a new no.1 next year.

Clearly something not right here. 0's and 1's is inexcusable from Becker, we can't carry that, Fricke I'm bitterly disappointed with this year, Masters is on the way down, Cook wasn't the answer either. I wouldn't mind but it's clearly as bad at BP as on the road too.

Second time tonight! Is Wojdylo still the rising star?

I’ve never seen Basso look for his team mate yet.

Basso doing his best to help the Oxford rider through!

Surely you’d make a change in this one Oxford? No?

I don’t think the ref saw it until he watched the replay, but they’ve not said anything since about why he did t retrospectively exclude him.

Commentary suggested he had nowhere to go because the Lynn rider ( Rowe?) leaned over him going into turn 1. Not sure whether that could be deemed as an excuse but otherwise I don’t know why he wasn’t excluded.

If that’s the case he can only have decided there were extenuating circumstances, because otherwise you have to exclude him, surely?
