Meetings pace was almost perfect last night, how it should be. It was helped by not a single restart due to movement at start. Still don't understand why there is such a long gap between heats 14 and 15.

Tero rode well, his two points didn't really do him justice, 2 falls on a very grippy track early doors not helping. For me, a better option than our current injured no 7

How did Lambert get all those rides, he never looked like scoring after Garrity unintentionally but the wotsits up him in his first ride. Kerr should have taken two of them. Simon is the only rider who can rlead into turn one but be last by turn two! Couldn't work out Harris either, in his first ride he appeared to be all over Tungate with out making the pass, looked like he didn't want too, then in his second ride seemed to be inviting Nicholls through. Any why no MPT in heat 15, surely he deserved it over at least Harris... Just as well we weren't against a better team. Belle Vue may not be quite so easy on Thursday, particularly if Frike rides

Always a possibility, they were certainly punching above their weight early season and are looking very fragile now

Stars need to win all their remaining matches, home and away, to stand any sort of chance. Unfortunately Swidon and BV both have an away match at Peterborough, do on current form both will pick up away wins there which will make it doubly difficult for us

I thought that too, but forecast is better tomorrow. But with the micro climate at saddlebow road, might as well call it now and rearrange.... lol

Regularly happens at many meetings by many riders and not just Eastbourne and looks thoroughly unprofessional.....

Peterborough will need guests as well I presume, Stars Select v Panthers Select. On paper, with 3 potentially injured riders, we one our 'easier' matches, hope it doesn't turn out to be a banana skin.

True, but we are so hit and miss this season, so getting them all firing on the same night would take a minor miracle. That said, you'd like to think the Stars could all click away from home on same night at least once this season!

Not sure where this will end up. Didn't realise until I looked at the fixtures, we only have 3 away matches left. Short of a minor miracle can't see us picking up much at Belle Vue, Poole or Wolves. Not convinced our home form will get us into playoffs. If we sneak it on home form then anything could be possible I guess

I assume no news means we'll soldier on with Simon until Broc fit?

If Robert Lambert and Cookie can get a similar number of points to Doyle and Batchelor, then the stars will win. By my reckoning rest of the team should equal or out score their opposite numbers. 48-42 to Stars

Visa I suspect

just seen that :-( fingers crossed its not too serious

Plan b will probably be Simon Lambert to continue in the short term.....it's what we always do!

I'm hoping for a rain off as I can't make it, then we can come back another day with Riss back in the team and beat you 'orrible witches with a 3 man team

Hope Harris brings his league form rather than his GP qualifier form, or it could be a close meeting...either way Lynn should have enough in the tank to win by more than 6. Last time Kennett rode at the NA he spent more time looking back and not forward - not expecting him to trouble the scorers too much.

Stars by 4 with that new cookie chap in our team. He looked quite handy on Monday...

Good chance for the stars to get something out of this

Said exactly the same thing to my mate! And why did we need an interval after all the other delays, restarts, grading, two on trot. 2 hours is ridiculous

Hopefully having Cook in the team will generate friendly rivalry with Ruthless for the no 1 spot and see him start to show his 2018 league form which has been hit and miss thus far

Why would NKI miss 8 matches? Thought the reason for moving to Monday and Thursday stopped international clashes?

Spot on. Runaway victories every week. Don't know how we got away with the concrete wall just behind the boards.

Riss named in GP qualifier on 8th June, wonder if he'll be fit by then and if so back in the team....and replacing who.....

I hope that's the plan. Love watching Riss, no way would we not want him back in the team once fit. You have to wonder if Riss not injured in first place that it would have been a different change to get Cook in
