Because four fewer for Bowles would likely have been four more for Edinburgh meaning an eight point swing.

Very entertaining - tremendous last heat from Sedgy and Kye. Great to see Grahn and Cluff ride so confidently. No.2 isn’t easy so 9pts from there is no mean feat. Jordy and Paco’s form much more of a concern however. Will be good to get Dan back albeit Bomber did his bit tonight

I think that sort of logic certainly has merit however like everything I’d imagine it would be open to abuse. You might find underperforming riders being “injured” more frequently.

You say not the fastest but his time in ht2 was within about half a second of Masters’ time in ht1.

.

Not a great spectacle with the track not up to the usual standards and Oxford very depleted. Kye continues to impress, Sedgy solid because he made the starts. Mitch Cluff’s performance was streets ahead of previous weeks which is great to see.

He did but just not in the way everyone would expect

Welfare check on Gazc. Edinburgh 2-0 Glasgow. HHGH

He was pushing for second place and lost control when a 4-2 would have won the meeting and tie. Should have just sat in third. Have to say I loved the tactics in ht13 not pushing for the 5-1 that would have triggered a Glasgow tac sub. Very smart

HUMPED

So very stupid from Jordy there

Me with egg on my face now

It’s dirty riding and one day he’s going to clean someone out. Dangerous rider

You couldn’t have timed that post worse!

Sedgmen is such an annoying rider. If he misses a start he’s not interested. Can’t remember the last time he passed a rider.

They’re simple but very fickle

Excellent. Glasgow dragging themselves into 2021.

The amount of greetin from Berwick fans about the tape exclusion from last year is mental. I had a heated exchange with someone on the night who claimed to know for certain from the 4th bend that VP had touched the tapes and not NM. Loons the lot of you.

Didn’t realise Blobby beat me to the mature addition to the thread. Sorry not sorry. 😉

Can’t argue with the result. A blow to lose Paco but I’m not even sure that with him taking his rides we’d have got near Redcar on aggregate. Solid top four but the tail is long. Grahn went backwards as the meeting progressed after a cracking opening win, Jordy needs to find more speed and I’d be surprised if Cluff is seen again despite him looking more on the pace (while still at the back) later in the meeting.

I’m not sure anyone is blaming Cluff and Loftus for the defeat however if you are going to compete in the league a solid reserve pairing is an absolute must. One point between them even away from home isn’t enough. I’m surprised Dayle Wood wasn’t in the team this year tbh.

Fair enough. If he doesn’t make the gate he’s not getting round the likes of Harris or Howarth though. I’d have more faith in Kye doing that.

A draw felt like a fair result overall I think. The tac sub changed the momentum certainly - I understand why the rule is there but the speedway purest in me dislikes it. That Glasgow side once they’re all up and running will take some stopping. If Flint stays as fast a he looked tonight that could be the difference. For Edinburgh, bit of a mixed bag and I’d love to see Sedgmen’s stats for ht15 over the past few seasons - I never think he’s going to pass anyone. I’d have Kye or even Paco in there ahead of him in heats like that tonight. Cluff won’t get long based on that showing. Jordy looked tentative early but found some speed as did Grahn. Thompson should be a solid no.1 and score well in most meetings.
