40-38

Bloody Zmarzlik.

Bizarre as it would have made no difference to him getting through.

Taking the outside gates a poor decision maybe?

Lambert's poor gating letting him down again.

Cook withdrawn shoulder injury. Lions have fallen more in 6 heats than all the rest of the season.

Douglas has just limped off the track now. Any sign of rain? 🫣

Nasty crash for Craig Cook. Walking slowly back to the pits bit I'd be surprised if he's fit for the play offs looking at how much pain he's in.

Because however likely it is that we will beat Lynn and finish top, there's a chance we may not. The matches against Lynn are now completely pointless and yet again the sport had subverted its own rules. It sounds like the decision was made for "commercial reasons" which is a terrible affront to those who've ridden for their teams and those who've supported their teams.

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
