He didn't though did he? He was in front and didnt even know where Etheridge was. I've been watching the kid regularly for 1¾ seasons and he can certainly ride safely. He's produced overtaking manoeuvres that many more experienced riders can't. Who does he keep knocking off? Other than Battye this evening (assuming he did as I've not seen it) who else has he 'knocked off'? Certainly not Etheridge and the only other incident I can think of is where he may have been at fault was the Northampton one with Harrison and Scott, and he's certainly not in their 'black books'. You have to expect a bit of exuberance from 16 year olds but he's incredibly controlled and safe for his inexperience.

Dagauvpils was a better track was it not?

They really don't. He is remarkably controlled and safe for a sixteen year old, if a little exuberant. Sounds like he was correctly excluded this evening but the Etheridge incident last time was clearly Jye's own fault.

I can't either but good that a ringer hasn't decided the meeting.

Poor performance from the Young Stars, felt like the Academy were there for the taking but apart from Lambert all of the Lynn team underperformed. Well done Edinburgh.

I like Lawson, despite the stuff he doesn’t put effort into and really should, but these non appearances seem to be coming a bit more regular and he can have a disagreement in an empty room sometimes. I get that speedway isn't his main job but there is a certain level of commitment that British Speedway and its paying customers are entitled to.

I love Paco to bits but that is hilarious 😅

Agree about doubling up but the bits in bold just wont work if you want to share riders with other leagues, set race nights in our top tier are a must. Championship teams can race when they like but they can't be signing riders who are going to be committed elsewhere in Europe on a regular basis and miss UK meetings.

Thats your answer right there 😁

Yep I know, I didn't word it very well.....was a response to the accusation that he has pulled out as he doesn't fancy Armadale. By one of the forum berks admittedly.

I don't know how the rules & regs work in Denmark but Hausl only had two rides for Esjberg on Wednesday which suggests to me he pulled out.

He's doubling up for crying out loud! Easily solved, eradicate the need and opportunity for these riders to guest. Plan the fixtures better, don't let riders who want to race in Poland ride in the Championship and use R/R and junior riders as guests. Stop running the sport for the benefit of the riders and do it instead for the benefit of the paying customers and the clubs. Set the tracks up for supporters not riders!

They are and in the instance the rules are daft. They are designed no doubt to stop people taking the P but Jordan quite clearly isn't trying to do that, nor was Cooper earlier in the season.

I certainly do, and I'm not sure.

Plus Jason Gage, Tom Grinstead, Roger Horspool, Andy Mountain etc
