I know we are at Berwick the night before, but I can't see that date being agreed on as Darcy and Linus are in Hungary for the U21 Semi that Saturday. And have planned for coming up on the 5th now as it was printed in the Lynn Race-zine last Wednesday

The wife and I should be at half a dozen of those BFD....got a feeling its Lynn at Glasgae on Sunday 5th (I'm sure Paulco will confirm). Look forward to meeting yer

Gordon Bennett, a civilised and enjoyable debate on the BSF! It'll never catch on

To blame one person who is five minutes into his job seems a bit harsh to me......the BSPA need to re-evaluate how they treat and regard our young riders. Why is there no organised racing for them way before they reach fifteen? And why are they not making it as practical as possible for our U21's to ride abroad? The whole thing needs an overhaul.

Six and two threes for me. Its the second 50/50 which hasn't gone NP's way in the series so far but rather than bleating about it perhaps he should remember the various occasions when tough decisions have gone in his favour.

Kozza out of the Oz team according to information at the NA last night. Still suffering from his crash at Coventry last Monday.

Excellent post Anders, cheers

With all due respect to Brendan Johnson, is there any reason why he has been selected ahead of the likes of Josh Auty, Lee Smart and Kyle Hughes?

Fair enough. Well done to THJ and to Linus for second place

Correct me if I am wrong, but has THJ missed the Edinburgh meeting tonight because of this qualifier, even though it is on Sunday?

Acoording to the BBC National Forecast the worst of the showers will have left the Rye area by midday.

We usually find it easier to go via Harlow and through the 50p toll road which takes you straight to the stadium, avoiding Hoddesdon itself which you would encounter on the M25/A10 route.

You are quite right screamer....if Nicholls is riding like he was last night come July then I would hope that Rob would have the balls to not include him in GB's five. Have him as a non riding captain by all means, but as things stand I would go with something like Harris, Kennett, Rico, Tai and Bridger.

I'm certainly no Pedersen fan but from where I was sitting on my sofa that looked like six and two threes. Would have had all four back.

Considering it was his forst time I thought he did ok....obviously there to talk about the Team GB squad, so may not be on again anyway.

Sorry guys, was being sarcastic...Millard said it so many times during the night that even Havelock & Heuwen were taking the mick Great performance from the boy, has balls of steel. Darcy beat him on his home track last Sunday though Brits poor, as was the track. Some things never change

How old is the Russian by the way?

Excellent stuff

Brilliant stuff from the Stars lads

And what a meeting that promises to be, with any one of Summers, Darcy, Kozza, Sweetman and Josh G in with a real shout of taking the title.

Indeed. To have even a sniff of qualifying we need the track to be nice and deep. Having it at the EoES is great news for those of us who live less than an hour away

Yep, simple really

Excellent performances from the two Lynn lads, considering his inexpeience Darcy exceeded all expectations while Kozza finished as the highest placed non EL (including doubling up) rider. Roll on the U21 final

Quite surprised that Holder isn't in a clear second place....third in the first round and only crept into today's A final through the back door where he was lucky to get second when Doyle crashed. Good to see Darcy & Kozza scoring in all of their races.

Interesting that you have put those two so far down.....I know they are only going to go one way but I can't see them both dropping that far next year. And if they did I wouldn't rule out the possibility of one or both 'doing a Rickardsson', ie jacking it in when they know they ain't gonna win the thing, or even get on the rostrum.
