Of course Belle Vue is the best race track but you can have great races without passing When Belle Vue came to Ipswich recently …Zach Cook and Dan Thompson had a great race throwing the bikes at each other for 4 laps and to me that was just as entertaining as heat 15 when Danny King rode round Kurtz The point I’m making is the NSS van provide certain races that other tracks cant … the final of the British final for one But to just as guys fly round the outside to pass isn’t that interesting at times Nobody is disputing you have the best track and the best racing

I did laugh when 3 riders at the line and Tatum said ‘that’s 75% of the line up’ and Louis said ‘ i see your maths is getting better Kelv’ ….. an awkward silence followed not sure Tatum was that happy with that comment I did notice that Tatum never mentioned what Sheffield needed to get a draw or win when there was a few races left … maybe decided better of it lol

Heat 13 is designed to have the best 2 riders in it … Doyle Emil Kurtz Bewley Holder Holder Fricke Masters Heat 15 is nominated hence the title …. I think if you are 20 points up going into heat 15 then why risk your best riders -

You aren’t understanding what I mean Nobody wants to see a rider injured of course not Personally if the points are safe I don’t care who rides heat 15 I don’t want anyone injured but if I had the choice of Emil missing for a month or Ellis or the rising star for example then you wouldn’t want your best rider out Ipswich earlier this season had Doyle and Thompson injured and struggled hugely I’m not in the camp that heat 15 has to be your 2 best riders on the night If Belle Vue had Kurtz injured in a heat 15 when the match was already secure then I’m sure Belle Vue fans will wish he hadn’t rode -

No if the meeting is won and bonus point is won them you don’t put your best riders in heat 15 The other week against Belle Vue we used Danny King and was so good seeing him beat Kurtz and Bewley Let’s hope you aren’t way ahead in a meeting and still use Lawson and then he gets injured in a race he doesn’t need to be in -

Another stupid comment why risk your best riders in a meaningless race? -
How lol Not all tracks are like Belle Vue..no arguments that it is the best race track in the UK because of course it is However the UK doesn’t have any track like the NSS…. This means the Belle Vue team has to be able to adapt to riding elsewhere My team Ipswich for many seasons have been awful at the NSS…. What they have to do is adapt and learn to ride the place better The poster put that Belle Vue may struggle because Oxford can be a gaters track … that’s correct so the Belle Vue team need to learn how to gate better because Belle Vues 1-7 is better than Oxford I’m not saying the racing is better at Oxford than Belle Vue of course it’s not … Many teams struggle at the NSS to get the right set up to be as fast as the home guys …. Nothing wrong with Belle Vue going to other tracks and struggling to get the right set up for a smaller track If you think it’s trolling to say that tonight Belle Vue need to gate better because the options to overtake are limited compared to Belle Vues track then that’s your opinion
