Jamie is taking a break from the sport apparently. Big lack of confidence. Hope he comes back to the sport in his own time.

Qualifying is apparently live now on HBO max, however all we have is a black screen 😡😡😡

Are you sure about that? I saw a listing for it on HBO max a couple of weeks ago. It apparently started at 15:45pm.

I should have put this in the video in hindsight, but in the closeup you can see Harrison off the throttle with his left foot down trying to slow down as well.

Thought I'd put something together just to add a touch more context to the incident. Not passing any opinions - just thought it might help add to some conversations regarding it. It shows racing lines and a closeup which shows an apparent "left turn" which some think didn't happen. Edited video

My instant thought was "is Christina Turnbull the ref" and it's becoming pathetic how that's a common question in my head now.

I just said to my dad about that. A decent referee would have thrown him out the meeting and sought a hefty fine for outright dangerous riding. I do want him to do well but that's abhorrent behaviour. I hope Harrison and Scott are OK 🤞

Just seen the crash on social media as I'm not watching it live but that's an absolutely appalling move from Rushen. He was absolutely aware of Harrisons presence and made an obvious and intentional move to ride right down the middle of the track to block the move - WAY off the racing line. I know he's a young lad and obviously a massive talent but that kind of frankly dangerous riding deserves some kind of actual and considerable punishment. He can't continue knowing he can get away with something like that. At one point Harrisons head is almost 180 degrees in the opposite direction, he's lucky he's not dead.

Thank you for your efforts, however with just over 2 hours to go until it was supposed to start I don't think it will happen personally.

This is national league racing for you - it's the lowest rung of the sport and a place for youngsters to earn their stripes and hone their skills. Back when I was a rider in the early 2000s you'd be hard pressed to run 15 races without some form of incident - St John's certainly earned their money back then and most likely still do! I've witnessed some truly horrifying crashes with being at so many (back then) conference league meetings. It's a part of the sport that not that many get to see, and it can come across as a bit unprofessional to those who are used to watching the professionals, but we've all got to learn somewhere! I bet even BZ was a little ropey when he first threw his leg over a 500!

I was there too, over the moon that it's back. Probably the healthiest crowd I've ever seen which was lovely to see. It was bitterly cold though with a relentless freezing wind that just didn't give up. Me and my dad had to leave after heat 12 because the cold won, but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to go back for more. For those who are already moaning about it or have negative comments to make, please keep them to yourselves. The people that have poured their hearts and souls into brining Buxton back from the dead would be hurt to see this, and we should be supporting new tracks coming into the sport, no matter what your opinions are.

The BSPA just posted a statement that follows: "𝗦𝗖𝗕 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧: 𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 📋 Please note for the 2026 season, riders’ Personal Accident Insurance is now covered by their Federation Licence (e.g – ACU Licence holders insured by the ACU), and not with Attis via the BSP Ltd." Very interesting that it states" NOW" and not "as of the beginning of the season" - so what does that mean to Charles Wright and Tobi? Christ it's like pulling teeth nowadays.

I figured you would be the guy to know. Massive F up that they didn't tell anyone if true! Doubt it'll get sorted now the season has started but we can hope 🫣
