I'd agree that bans have to be handed out if riders appear in one league and not others but I'd also say that there is an enormous difference between riding at Lezno and Lynn if you have an injury.

On the contrary, I think Dean should be involved in running the sport in the UK as he seems to have all the answers.

What happened to Matt Marson?

We were able to interview Ben for the podcast this week, you can listen on the link below. I can see him getting a 28 day ban going forward if he rides on Sunday.

Well I think the racing has been excellent so far.

Unlucky darts!

Behave 😁

Lovely old job.

But you don't get to see Holders, Kvech, Fricke, Doyle, Emil, Woffy, Bewley, Kurtz, Magic, Museilak, Zagar etc etc. And two extra teams doesn't make for 'much more fixture variety'. Plus I'd question if Championship really is 'much more competitve', really not sure it is at all. I just feel its a real shame that one of the most successful and well supported sides in the country won't strive to be the best they can be and ride at the highest level. It's all a bit safe.

Maybe they don't want to do it full time with all their other commitments? Lynn never wanted to be in this position, I think using different riders from their own NDT team is fair enough, the likelihood is that they are likely to struggle against all other RS's anyway.

Tomorrow's forecast now looks a lot more encouraging on the Met Office App.

Oo er missus

You've been on the forum long enough to appreciate that discussions develop on various threads.

Most other clubs don't own their stadia.

No, it's because Buster owns the stadium and makes money from the bars and food outlets. Would make no business sense to give people a way of watching without going.

He lives in Poland, is married to a Polish girl and only wants to do two leagues so no surprise he doesn't ride here. Nicholls and Bewley have also ducked the UK in the past, maybe it says more about British Speedway than the riders themselves.

Better tracks....apart from BV the Prem doesn't have an awful lot. Champ has Glasgow, Worky, Scunny, Redcar which are all very good.

None of the GP's this season have, they've all been garbage. Hopefully this weekend will put that right.

A win but the lack of race winners once again is a concern.

He's the best ever IMO, a freak of nature. Miles better than anyone else at the moment. But that doesn't mean he can't/shouldn't be criticised if he has put the bike down and got away with it.

Personally I think we need a few more honest interviews and a bit more needle between riders, makes it more entertaining. It can all be a bit nice in speedway nowadays, especially with BZ, riders seem to almost move over and let him past in the GP's.

Very different league that season though, several bigger names ride over here now.

But at least we'd be able to track two riders in every race therafter.

I would always rather go with a guest rather than R/R (R/R should be compulsory unless it's your number one or its being used already IMO but that's another debate) as it takes a lot of the risk out of it. Particularly when it's fir the fifth in the averages; yes Kvech taking three rides would be stronger in all probability but it doesn't leave much flexibility for his rides and Rob's options, and if anything happened to Jan in heat 2 we would be absolutely screwed.
