Thing is at Wolves it's about more than just making the gate, you have to get round the notoriously tricky second bend too. Rose & Bailey are still inexperienced but you'd expect the others to know better.

He's riding for the Stars in the EL on the two days either side of the U21 final so can't be in Germany.

No statement needed once the Heathens had named their side, they look head and shoulders above everyone except perhaps Mildenhall. It's a shame they aren't in the PL as I think they could have a good go at winning that. Tough lesson for the Young Stars, you'd expect far more from the four experienced team members but more importantly it's good experience for Lewis ahead of visiting Wolves on Monday and for young Josh generally.

As I said earlier in the thread he is cutting his nose off to spite his face by not riding in the Under 21 final, seems like an act of stubbornness as it's only for one year. All a bit silly and unnecessary.

Think it deserves a wooosh

Hall is a thug and Auty is a wreckless and dangerous speedway rider. No excuse for kicking somebody while they are down but Auty shouldn't still be taking people out in his 8th senior season.

Could see this result coming tonight, as Plymouth also showed at Rye any team with a top drawer number one and an on fire reserve taking seven rides doesn't need too much from the other five to claim the win.

You just never know what you are going to get from Wolbert, at Lynn a couple of years ago he could look like world champion in one heat and then NL reserve in his next.

Mon the underdog

Can't see the Rebels defending their title, they look decent but not as strong as last year and I think there are three maybe four better sides around.

How predictable, yet nowhere to be seen in the two away defeat threads this week. I think that'll be the Rebels this year, a mixed bag of results. Aspgren looking quality after many questioned his signing. Grow up.

Spot on. It reads like a tabloid style series of revelations and accusations and doesn't show him in a great light. Hopefully he will keep his gob shut from now on and do his talking on the track as I think there are already people waiting for him to fail and every outburst will add a few more. I think there is probably more going on between the Lamberts and the BSPA than meets the eye but I also think there is a case for allowing fourteen year olds to race 500's if their ability is exceptional. If he wants to represent Germany that is up to him but he'll be cutting his nose off to spite his face by withdrawing from the British U21's and seniors if he gets the opportunity to race.

I would hope the PL always takes priority, he's going to learn far quicker at the higher level.

Surely Lewis Rose will be at Newcastle on Sunday?

Dryml's might be if you give him more than two official fixtures to get going. Just like you are giving Proctor. As an aside one or two people have commented on him shutting off in the first turn, that's how he's been since he nearly died on the track at Oxford, he won't change now. But if he can get his bikes and gating sorted he'll score some decent points IMO, particularly at home.

Yet you chastise people for criticising Proctor's dreadful start to the season? Dear me.

That was aimed at Marksman, came out with a very stevebrum-like comment. You must have posted a millisecond before me!

I'd say at least half a dozen competitive fixtures.

Why can't Dudley use Monmore for PL?

Nail on head

GPs for me but I think 6-8 would be plenty. There are too many now IMO, although perfectly understandable why.

Perhaps they did, but it seems that the Panthers had to come from the back in both runnings of the final heat so maybe it wasn't fortunate but hard earned. Wonder where Starman is telling Rebels fans that Gary May won't let them down

The Foxhole would be full of freeloaders every Thursday night

Are you stevebrum?

Looks like Aspegren should have been 15 but then again Allen & Morris had just done the business in heat 13.
