Great racing on a track which is not too grippy or wet and the boys are turning it on. Come the GP, Best riders on view. Whats the betting the track will be overwatered! You would like to think Morris would look at the racing tonight and know this is how the track should be prepared. Lets hope so!!

Yes you're quite correct. Bewley and Lambert are world class. Bewley just passed Ellis. You would have thought he had just passed Bartoz the way they got all excited!!

Did you watch Zielona Góra v Torun yesterday?. You wouldn't get better racing that that. Passionate crown fantastic atmosphere. Last heat decider. Absolute classic.

100% agree. I know he's only 18, but still very petulant. I would imagine putting his steel shoe on is down to him or is he such a star he get's someone else to do it!!!

Common sense says so, but the promotors seem to be happy with the status quo or the riders are holding a gun to there heads. Either way speedway is dying a slow death in this country. There is a combine total of 16 teams. The fans deserve to see all those teams at their local track, not Edinburgh six times a year! If the riders can't make it pay, then they should go and do what most riders did in 70s/80s get a job. Speedway gets far lower attendances than non league football. The lowest attendance team in the Vanarama National League this season was Braintree Town FC, average 1.147 per match. The top team in that league was Southend United FC average 7.339 per match!! I know football is a different sport, but this is semi pro football we're talking about. Who is the best attended team in speedway? Maybe Poole. They might match the lowest clubs attendance, but are miles behind the top team in that league. Yet the riders expect full time professional wages! It's crazy they either become semi pro or the sport will give them no choice but to.

Thats a bit strong. I don't recall Gladhill shutting the throttle off like Boughen. In actual fact, I have never seen anyone shut off going into the 1st bend like him. It's a pretty dangerous thing to do. As for Gladhill he won the National League Riders Championship, when it was worth winning. So to compare is a little bit unfair.

If Gilkes is out for a while (hopefully not) Who would they bring in to cover for him? There doesn't seem to be a lot of options out there?

Is It's unfair on the rider(because he's not good enough) and it's unfair on the paying public. having to watch him being miles off the pace and coming last in every race. People are always saying Poole can spot a riders potential. Even though he's only going to be there a few months. Danny Ford has proved, he's not got much idea about speedway riders. Marson has been riding in this country since 2018. Thats eight seasons!!! He could have picked Connor Coles, Jack Smith. Not world beaters, but might have got the odd point. Very poor decision to sign Marson.

It's hard to fathom what goes through Schorecks head. McDiarmid was on fire wheras Killeen beat Marson and Stark. He gave McDiamid only five rides,. The same as Killeen. The man has no idea. It's every meeting he has a shocker. As you said. they won, but surely it's time for Courtney and co to get rid. He even had a go back at fans for a decision he made the other week. The man is a buffoon!

It is sad to watch, but a lack of nerve is something you don't want, if you want to be a speedway rider. As you say looks class when hits fresh air. Unfortunately even the best had to ride in traffic. I've never seen anyone so blatantly shut off going into the first bend. Lets hope he can overcome this. If not I can't see much of a future for him, which such a shame. When he's in front he looks one of the best youngsters out.

It will be interesting to see how he goes in the u21s. He will be riding against the likes of the Thompson twins, Hagon, Killeen, Mulford etc who are riding in the CL at the mo. It will be a good yardstick as to where he his at that level.

Kings Lynn need to take him out of the firing line as well. His confidence is shot. He needs to get riding back in the 3rd division to build up his confidence in my opinion.

Against a four man team!

100% correct. Jack Smith outscored the Glasgow's two reserves and Boughen on his own. they will be found out big time away from home!

Track very slick. Not helping Bomber at all!

He won't change. He shuts off every time. You can't carry three riders and expect to win. Him being No2 means Heat 8 will always be a 1-5 against

I think this will be won or lost on the bottom three of each side. Boughen v Hagon and the Reserves. Hagon rates this as one of his favourite tracks and won the u21 last season. Boughen can look absolutely brilliant in one race, then looks like he's never rode a bike. So it will depend which rider turns up. As for the reserves, Smith should walk this hands down. So it has the makings of a very interesting meeting. btw. Would it not be better to put Hagon at No2? I think he has a better chance of scoring pts in that position and Hume has more experience than Hagon and therefor should be able to handle No3 a bit better.

What I have read above is wrong. You are correct he can still ride in the lower league. Maybe it was a mistake on his part in choosing not to ride in that league. We can all see he is lacking confidence and having that league as a backup would have done him the world of good.

I maybe wrong but I did read this. To be eligible for the National Development League (NDL) in British Speedway, riders must generally meet certain criteria, including not having a Championship average of 4.00 or above

Did Cook not say last week that he had asked for the track to be slicker? I thought they would have kept it with a bit dirt for home track advantage!

Unfortunately, for him, he's illegible to ride in that league anymore.

I'm sure I heard morris say something about he will have to use a 350 at the next GP! Mind you he would still win!

"I suggest" ................he got that one wrong 😂

Have to agree with you. Tatum saying the riders are getting their setups now. I disagree. Now the track is drying out, the boys can have a proper go. Morris will now get the water bowser out!!

No the woke FIM would never allow such a thing. You can't have top riders of today having to qualify. They simply would refuse, saying the are too busy! We now have riders being chosen by the FIM who are chosen because of their nationality, rather than ability but in this culture appropriate world they meet the criteria. Look how Kurtz has already made it better. Add the two Russians and Madsen, then it would start to look like a proper world championship again. I know Bomber certainly benefitted back in day. But it has supposed to have move on since then.
