Ipswich are doing ok but with hit trouble in the final stages with Fricke, Bjerre and tonight, Worrall.

Fricke didn’t give racing room. Good race before that.

Not this bad elsewhere. Must be only a few hundred there.

Belle Vue’s gating is similar to Pooles. Let the oppo leave you dead at the start!

What time do they open the gates?

The line was a foot from the fence and when Emil went through on lap three I thought there was no coming back. But the gap was left. Just!

Fabulous final race!

And last in a 3man race in his next. Not off the pace just outgated by better riders and chasing shadows.

Great racing in this meeting.

Horrendous crash. Bike cleared fence spinning in air. Emil and Buckowski. Lucky bike missed everyone.

Where is a link. Not on polsat sports..

Belle Vue won’t get a gp Until Cardiff sells out. Which would be never.

Deserved winner in Zmarzlik but bloody poor gp overall imo.

Track is poor at the mo. Only one line.

Where’s our resident trolling Pole who said Lambert was completely out of his depth?

And Lambert!

Not the best of tracks. Hopefully we will see some good racing later as the meeting goes on.

Two good meetings. Though the Toruń comeback was excellent. Jack Holder improving by the week. A couple of years and the GP could beckon.

Absolutely no way would I support 5 man teams. Has to be 7 man teams with the points limit set between championship and premiership. A second league for the lesser championship teams who can expand the national development league. The problem is finding extra riders. Currently there are not enough to go between the two league without doubling up.Using young NL British riders will help. Sure, some will be out of their depth while others will thrive. Polish Extra league has u21 6 and 7 regardless of ability who stay there even if they are world champion. We should take the same mentality. Seven teams is no good. Not enough variety or meetings.

Freddie is already on record stating he is far too busy to come over this season.

If we were full strength last night we would have won easily. We picked up a paltry 10 points from Brady and Klindt rides. Our 1-7 is fine if they are all there. Both Brady and Jack have shown stride forward this year. Bar a couple of riders they are as good as any other heat leader in the league. And Josh has shown fine form in recent meetings. Nothing to worry about and we will make the playoffs. From there it’s anyone’s chance to win it. Last season I thought we were weaker than this year and look what happened. We will be there when it matters.

If it was mandatory that reserves had to be British u21s, that would be a great step forward. It was disgraceful that it was dropped a couple of seasons ago. Bring on our own talent. We will benefit in the long term.

Been touted by Gary May as well. Said Somerset would definitely prefer one league. The downside is riders like the top riders Doyle would be lost. Can you imagine the remaining top guys wanting to turn up at the more remote tracks? The quality would probably sit somewhere a bit better than the current championship level.

Run the team given to him on the night. And he does this very well most of the time.
