40-38

Could probably argue Kurtz wasn't quite ruthless enough, but Zmarzlik just has so much speed it would be hard to keep him behind anyway.

Who's Gabbi, Kelvin?

The points you score are what you should take away with you. It's utterly bizarre scoring.

Please someone take that drone out.

Yes, but in terms of wins gate 3 always seems to be the worst at pretty much every GP you see.

Why is gate 3 so bad at nearly every track?

Totally different Dan Bewley tonight. The lack of consistency is why he wont be world champion.

Would have been better to have some 2x4 timber asking questions, would be less wooden for a start.

Zmarzlik on an absolute rocket ship.

If it takes a few races to get the dirt in the right place for entertainment, why don't they send some juniors out to break it all up a bit before heat 1?

One wonders whether they'd have been quite so friendly whilst racing for the world title though, that's the difference.

I think it can work if you have riders like Pickering who are willing to attack it. It certainly didn't help the racing that Sheffield were just so poor, especially from the gate and were just team ridden out for 4 laps in many heats.

His head and shoulderhits the ground first with all the momentum behind it. I've watched a few times and the more I watch the worse it looks.

Wishing him all the best. Going to be a hard rider to replace.

Doesn't say much for his belief in his ability to be world champion if he's not even confident of keeping his place without it.

Why is Brennan in for Holder? I've been trying to convince some football loving people at work to come along and watch. I now hope they don't want to come because I'm damned if I can give them a plausible explanation that wont make them lose interest immediately.

Has he been round the NSS before Oxford dropped him?

Think they'd have a max 3.50 to replace with? 39.45 team so far, but speedway maths isn't my forte.

Lemon sucking on lemon there. He can hardly be surprised about the decision surely?

Could have been a 5-1 there if Zagar had looked after his partner. Jeppeson did all the hard work too clamping Bewley down.

Abi just summed up one of the big issues with speedway for me, opposing riders having a laugh while the meeting is on. After the meeting is fine but surely any tension and atmosphere just evaporates while everyone is being so nice to each other during a contest.

Zmarzlik off gate 4?

Kvech having a snooze around the inside there.

Can you bet on how many times you hear LCQ mentioned? I'm developing a twitch.

How many ways can Kelvin try to disguise the fact gate 1 is the only decent one? That must be 5 so far.
