Believe me it's not been much above zero since Holdergate but even though I don't go that often I'm no longer paying 22 quid to a club run in this manner. It's been a sh itshow for too long now.

So Harris for Laguta and Morris for MPT. My enthusiasm has finally eroded down to zero. Don't tell us fibs about injuries, if Laguta can't be afforded or Wroclaw don't want him riding here or at Monmore then tell us the truth. The club needs a massive overhaul in the winter, a brand new approach from top to bottom and running at a level we can prosper at whatever that is. No wonder crowds are dismal.

For me it is, the whole point of the GP's is to crown a world champion and at the moment unless Zmarzlik sustains an injury its a foregone conclusion, for me that takes an awful lot of the shine off it.

I quite agree......unless you are there when a super heat takes place, in which case its not nonsense and actually quite exciting.

A Play Off ringer! Who knew

One pillock makes it up somewhere and people go with it. Usual BSF/social media stuff.

I'm not going to sit here and say that it was much better 15-20 years ago because it probably wasn't but the series is definitely lacking something at the moment. Knowing who the winner is going to be before the series starts is the main issue, not Zmarzlik's fault that he is miles ahead of anyone else but it removes all the jeopardy. Too many poor racetracks which to be fair has long been an issue but its frustrating that there are much better tracks not being used even if we all appreciate why. And probably a lack of characters and racers as mentioned.

Absolutely but unfortunately when the bloke financing the team walks out halfway through the season there isn't much you can do other than patch things up. Apart from pray that Laguta sees the year out. I'd also suggest that replacing Edwards with Rowe isn't consistent with giving up.

Because Kennedy got injured?

I think the main issue with Jason is that even after two half seasons he just didn't look comfortable on the Buster clay. Same with Jakobsen. Both really should have kicked on this year but didn't. Lambert and Rowe will be fine in that regard, whether they can score the points required to win home matches remains to be seen.

I guess it boils down to how ambitious those promotions are, the desire of them and their patrons to see GP standard riders and how good their sponsors are.

Hope so....pointless being in the top league if you can't be competitive, and we haven't been since 2018.

I take your point about Scott, he had a quiet year by his standards in 2022 and you'd be forgiven for thinking he might not reach this seasons heights again at his age. I think Worrall and Howarth's averages were always going to drop once they moved from Leicester. I had Oxford's top three as the leagues strongest in March but fighting to get 5th/6th, the form Atkins, Jenkins and to a lesser extent Heeps has made them much stronger. Things could have been even better had Kileen stayed fit.

All to do with personnel. Messrs Masters, Kerr and Nicholls are all better than their opposite numbers at Plymouth and Atkins with Kileen/Kinsley have far exceeded what the Plymouth pair have managed which was fairly predictable during to their inexperience. The second strings is why I thought Plymouth would be decent but Gilkes hasn't developed as I thought he might (broken leg last year having a effect no doubt) and Starke was very poor.

You little tinker.

Can't afford to be there?

He's riding for Wroclaw this weekend, somebody said so earlier on the thread. So nothing too bad but let's see if he turns up at Monmore on Monday.

An enjoyable listen so far

I know who I believe.

Pretty clear he was offered reduced terms, probably the same for Jakobsen.

He's clearly talking about the Championship.

I think Klindt getting away from number one and finding a good set up has done him the world of good. No idea about Akex Brady but apart from Artem everyone else have been as wonderfully inconsistent as ever.

Apart from call it off.

Buster said on the radio this morning that he had a choice of Lambert, Barker and Riss. Should have gone with Lambert on current form.
