So will there be the full Pirate 1-7 on track in the only fixture on Wednesday? If Kyle isn't fully fit there is quite the choice of possible guests.

Simply not true, but still doesnt excuse laughing at an injured rider!

Why laugh when a rider gets a season-ending injury? Typical.

...and therein is the potential problem - depending what it states in their respective contracts?!

That, unfortunately, could well be accurate despite what they are both currently saying!

To be fair though I assumed Gav would still be in his bedroom celebrating Danny King's 40th birthday!🤣

Maybe a delayed 'live' broadcast, correctly edited is the way to go forward?

Let's hope Kelvin and the presentation lady have brushed up on their Championship rider knowledge. And also hope he doesn't refer to them as '2nd division' riders! In other words, no negativity.

With Ace Pijper replacing Craig Cook, are we sure its Robert Lambert not Simon taking part?

Play offs don't count towards the final gsas. Not sure that the ko cup does either? Just league and bsn.

As opposed to Worky who appear to have been doing it all season!🤣

Not sure Rocketman will have Poland in his 2027 sights? Not being paid is a big issue for riders - despite what Polish contracts state!!!

I know they've spoken to another heat leader and another rider, both of whom have guested this season.

No mistake. Those averages are from 23rd July!!

Similar to Poole. I'm led to believe a structural design was done and costed to widen the Poole track into the old greyhound track. The considerable six figure costs were impossible to justify without security of tenure of the stadium.

Her Lewis Kerr interview featured on BBC South and on various socials.😀 NB thanks for buying the stream.

Nice interview. Well done Beth.👍

Nick Morris is on a good run of form and did well both for and against the Pirates this last week!

The riders requested the small bowser after the mid-meeting issues last week. Many riders don't like watering during the meeting after they've got their set-ups right. Mid-meeting watering is as much to do with keeping dust levels controlled for the comfort of the crowds as it is for the riders. Several riders interviewed said how good the track was. Race times were reasonably consistent around the 59-60 sec in the early heats to 61-62 sec mark in the latter stages. Will Cairns tremendous win in heat 15 was 60.43 secs .

Richard Lawson resumes his racing. He's started the journey north very early and is stopping off at Leicester en route.😉😉🤞

That's a good win for the Comets. It shows how fallible Oxford can be when Sam Masters doesn't get a max. BTW I hope young Max Perry is OK.🤞

As usual, thanks for your insightful input Gav!! Brennan saying the track was great, better than the 2024 treble winning season.

...but then goes on to win heat 14.😂

Ryan Ingram breaks down en route north of Oxford, but fortunately is helped by MPT and Dan Gilkes.

No it was his knee!!🤣
