Cue Ball

He just lost a championship that I imagine he knows he could/should have won, what do you expect?

He topped scored, he gated, he rode a great first bend, he won. Simples. He rode well and deserved the win. Can't believe Sheffield had 3 riders in the meeting and still couldn't win the meeting!!!

Some of the racing in the second half of the meeting particularly was very good - heat 15 was a cracking race between Garrity, Lanham and Bellego, all 3 riders deserved praise for close racing and for giving each other enough room to be safe. On the basis of this afternoon you do have to question why Somerset released Lanham. Think the fact that the result didn't mean anything to Sheffield probably paid a part in the early races when conditions weren't ideal.

Any weather updates would be appreciated please. Still tipping it down in Sheffield and bbc now seems to be saying rain in Scunny until 2pm

Not a bad meeting. Not too sure what it is about Redcar, but they seem to like our track for the first half of a meeting and then fortunately tail off in the second half. Wells did well (see what I did there) again, he's much better now that he is t riding the track every week...

Started the season with one big hitter and ending it with a team of 6 and 7 pointers. Interesting to see how we get on in the play offs. Glad to see Andre back

The video replays clearly showed that there was no contact between the 2

Josh didn't go anywhere near him. He chose his moment and made a spot on overtake / undertake. Think it took Branford by surprise and he lost control for a moment which sent him towards the fence, no fault of Josh whatsoever

Impressed with Zach in heat 2. Put under a lot of pressure but didn't give in and held his line well despite having a slower bike than Clegg and Branford. Off the pace in his other 2 rides, but a very tidy rider who looks like he could do well in the future. Was surprised at the result to be honest, it was nip and tuck early on but we seemed to have a purple patch mid meeting that saw us home with relative ease. Cracking ride by Bates to come from the back to beat Sedgmen, unfortunately to be followed by his pantomime act with/at Bellego.

From what I've seen this year, I struggle to see past Kurtz for the win.

Happy with Klindt. Will do ok for us I would imagine

Klimt - happy with that

Gutted for him - do we know what happened? I was stood on the 4th bend at the time, but couldn't really work out what happened as I was more or less head on to it

Thanks

Any news on Ben Wilson after tonight's crash?

I wouldn't mind people having a pop at clubs signing riders from abroad if there were any British riders that were worth signing instead. Personally prefer to have a punt on a foreign rider than sign somebody just on the basis of their nationality regardless of whether they have talent or not.

A lot of good riders who have done hundreds more laps of Owlerton than Paco have put themselves into that fence, let's not be too harsh on the lad just yet

Given the amount of kickings the Monarchs have given you over the past few years, surprised that you want to ride against them at all 😛

Must have missed Lawson's move, didn't see anything untoward personally. Different perspectives from different places in the stadium I suppose. On paper Jorgy was a let down, but he raced his arse off and just kept missing out. Heat 14 was a contender for race of the season, 2 races in one, close and fair... Roper speedway as Kelvin would say

At least the statement admits that it's probably not a bad thing as it would be a baptism of fire. Don't imagine that we are running scared... But why wouldn't we want to track a competitive team in an important fixture?

Heard a rumour that Andre has broken both wrists 😔

It ain't going to be Armando 😊

Berwick's team this evening is not conducive to good racing. Hall on 1 after 4 rides says a lot

Is there no entry for 'Sheffield No.1 (guest)'?!?

Agreed, just remembered seeing somewhere that he was riding over there and wondered if he was and if so how he is doing. Sounds like they have spoken to several riders, so obviously the promotion have come up with some names where we can't!
