It can't always be gates but it certainly contributed last night, had he been on 1 or 4 in heat 19 then he almost certainly would have ended up on 12 or 13 points and somebody else wouldnt, the margins can be that fine at the top level and he was unfortunate last night, but that's speedway. There is definitely something different with him between Extraliga and GP's though, just seems more relaxed and free flowing in league racing. Too uptight and not relaxed in the GP's unlike Bewley who looks like he doesn't have a care in the world and is reaping the benefits.

Preview http://kingslynn-speedway.com/news.php?extend.31237 Met has rain or showers from 1pm til 8pm.

Hopefully it will spur him on. I was thinking something similar, perhaps a break from the GP's might do him good. There's a disparity between his league form and GP results, he's eighth in the Extraliga averages and some way above Bewley and Woffy but struggles in the GP's for some reason, maybe belief? Hopefully he can do the business across the last four rounds but if not maybe a re-evaluation of his approach might be needed.

Well done Kim Nilsson.

I think Holder just showed that there is very little wrong with the track.

I'm struggling to work out what's wrong with the track if anything, it's nice and wide, plenty of room entering and exiting the bends and it's smooth with just enough dirt on it. The crashes have all appeared to be rider error to me.

Hugely disappointed in Kubera tonight.

He should win heat 13 but heat 19 looks very tough. Pity the gates aren't a bit more even.

I'm not bothered as I literally watch the races and take no notice of the in between bits but the presentation lacks an awful lot of polish. Looks rather amateur.

Kemp a lucky boy too by the look of it.

Done deal already by the look of it. *sighs*

I can remember when and why it was changed and it was a load of guff IMO, removed the jeopardy of the away side 'stealing' a point from the home team if they got within 6 points of them.

You are right but this must have been thought about and agreed in the first place!

Rugby and cricket.

Personally I think the scoring system is one of the few things our governing body has got right in recent years, I really like it although they spoiled it slightly by giving home teams three points for any win. I can see the appeal of the BP system but think the 3-2-1-0-1-2-3-4 is (was) better.

I think we can safely say its not Alex Brady that Lewis Kerr had a problem with as they were pictured together over the weekend at Oxford/Cardiff.

I liked the idea of a one off 'Cup Final' at a neutral venue personally. More concerning though is that they can make a decision in the winter then change their minds in the summer as some see fit. Not really befitting of a professional sport.

If Drew Kemp does a Jason Doyle I'll be absolutely delighted......just don't see it though.

You are right, but unfortunately I just don't think he's very good, which is a shame as at 16 he looked like he might be something special.

R/R for Riss = a hiding

Which had nothing to do with the circuit itself.

But even Bewley and Holder couldnt make an impression when behind after the first half a lap. You could well be right that the bikes and the way people ride nowadays are to blame but I just feel that Cardiff has run its course now, we have arguably the best track in the world albeit with a limited capacity in Manchester and enough good racetracks in the world to do away with Cardiff, Prague, Teterow etc and have much better racing across the series.

Big difference between being a 'miserable git' and calling it as you see it. I think the majority of people criticise out of disappointment because they desperately want it to be good.

Good for you (genuinely) I expect it was better being there than watching it on telly. Just didn't come across well at home.
