Richard Lawson got excluded for getting off his bike and gardening with the two minutes on so it would seem the thing to do would be to put the two minutes on earlier .
Etheridge can be a bit unpredictable although I think mark Lemon likes him but sometimes puts too much faith in him, like at the showground last season.
Yes Mountain rode well in the British Final but rode in a league meeting and scored 1 point. Hope Mountain produces his British Final performance or this will be all over tonight. Sedgeman is no better at Belle Vue either.
Really can't see either of the Sheffield reserves getting much tonight, better at Sheffield maybe but who is beating Blodorn or Etheridge tonight? I can see Blodorn being much better at Sheffield than previously as now he has more experience at British tracks, he even did quite well at Ipswich recently.
Not sure the way the sport is ran impacts that much on crowd levels, some possibly but if you talk to fans at away tracks and friends who attend you will be surprised how many only know the basic rules and rarely go on the BSPA website.
Fully fit and on form he could let you down at Sheffield, it isn't a track that suits him I wouldn't think but he should be good at home if fully fit and firing, it is just when you have had a couple of nasty crashes it often takes riders a few meetings to get their confidence back.
I did say before Tom Brennan could be the one that lets Belle Vue down as he has had a couple of nasty crashes lately but he has had a bit of time to recover and back on his home track I think he will be fine.
