Nail on head. Which has been said many times yet folk just don't/won't get it.

KK has all his British stuff for sale by the look of it so I don't think he's going anywhere else any time soon.

Gate one for Masters in heats 13 & 15 proved crucial. I'll never be a huge fan of Monmore Green but it was very watchable tonight. Two good contests across the day by the sound of it

He's scored pretty well in Poland so far, they aren't going to sack him if he wants to race in his own country. I suspect he wasn't particularly bothered rather than they insisted that he didn't anyway.

Not sure why you are being so defensive. Getting passed easily would be a symptom of not being good enough would it not? Every race we saw on Eurosport showed P'boro riders busting a gut to either stay in front or try and pass the rider in front if them. Its insulting to professional sportsmen to say that they dont care, aren't trying hard enough or don't have the balls for the fight. And that's my opinion thanks

I expect he won't be back anytime soon because he won't be fit anytime soon. Once he is he'll be straight back in. Jorgensen or Klindt most vulnerable I suspect.

If it's for Thomsen. It hasn't been said it will be, just that he'll come back in.

No idea but with how close Alex and Josh are you can be sure they will have thoroughly studied the rules before dropping him. It's a big ask.

Why does have to be not caring or lack of guts? Perhaps they just aren't good enough. From the clips on Eurosport there appears to be no lack of effort and determination. Just Leicester are better.

Broken finger apparently. The stuff they use at Lynn and P'boro hurts when it hits you believe me.

Do you not think he knew he was out?

In other words he would have been too weak to call their bluff. In any case I'd have thought it would be in their interests for him to be racing more often than once a week.

Maybe but Poland don't 'allow' or prevent a British rider from riding in their own county's league(s). Maybe they discouraged it and he was to weak to argue.

What's your definition of the term 'bottled?'

Poland have decided its OK?

Nope.

Thomson rather than Cook I'd imagine.

I really don't like the phrase 'bottled', I always prefer to give credit to the team who fought back. What Wolves needed was their number one to step up in heats 13 & 15 to see the match out but he was unable to do so.

Looking forward to seeing the video of the superheat somewhere soon!

I have sympathy with the Longtrack thing it's a completely different sport IMO and he shouldn't be missing speedway fixtures for that, nor should any kind of facility be granted. The problem with today is that teams can rearrange meetings willy nilly because guests are handed out like confetti, if it was R/R or a junior then I suspect they wouldn't have accepted the booking. Chris Harris is and aways was racing in Germany or wherever today, as with the majority of speedway's issues the problem lies with the system and the governance of the sport. It all needs tightening up massively.

This meeting was only arranged six days ago so you can hardly blame Harris for being elsewhere. Whether he should be in the qualifier or not is up for debate but if he was asked/qualified then you can't blame him for accepting. Good for him that he's still ambitious in the twighlight of his career. I expect he has his eye on the SWC and why shouldn't he?

He won't be in the team for the next home meeting.

Wouldn't disagree with that, I guess the issue is getting Pickering back in once he's fit with how averages work. It's five weeks since Josh got injured so by now it would be reasonable to force Lynn to sign somebody whether that be permanent or temporary to take his place. Not being able to redeclare with an injured rider included would be common sense.

If Pickering goes to fifth in the averages then he needs replacing even iffir just 28 days as R/R won't cover him at all. Mountain and Laguta for KK and Jorgensen would be good changes. I get the argument about winning at home not away but it would be nice to at least be competitive on the road.

Looking at a photo on Twitter it seems Douglas hasn't got a Lynn body colour on, did they forget to take one for him? Dreadful.
