If Emil wants to be back along with Doyle next year then we simply have to make it work, there’s riders out there up the up with improvement, got to start team building quickly and get them signed up! Who wouldn’t want to come and learn with those top boys in the team

What a joke, 40-0 walkover for the witches!?

Have seen king take that wide line from where I stand on exit of second turn a thousand times, he knows Foxhall better than anyone if he’s behind and the gaps closing he backs out, he’s a brave rider and will keep it open when there’s room and when he’s alongside but he’s not stupid and knows when to yield when behind. He definitely wasn’t expecting that from nicolai hence he kept it wound on having got the run and being alongside with room to race which was taken away with zero time to get out of the way and avoid a crash. no bias on my part, if that was an Ipswich rider doing it to an away rider I’d be just as outraged, if anything more outraged as an avid fan, I expect a better level of respect to be shown by my team on the track. just really don’t like seeing people get fenced, hard but fair racing is great entertainment, standing with a lump in throat wondering if a rider 20 metres in front of you strewn out on the stock car track having been sent through two sections of air fence and 3 wooden fence panels is not, that was a big crash and Danny lucky not to be seriously hurt - like others have said was a very similar incident to one that effectively ended mark loram’s career. and of all the people to do it to, Danny one of the fairest riders about not a bad bone in his body.

He wasn’t in front

Mark never hit the air fence that’s all, Danny did catch the last two sections of air fence

My uncle said exactly the same thing at the meeting last night, but yes mark further down the straight

Having stood opposite the exit of the second bend for 30 years now Klindt was 100% over the top on Danny, they were level and Klindt just rode him in the fence left him no racing room whatsoever ever, it’s different if you’re ahead and cut someone’s run off, that’s fair game but when they’re alongside and you just push them into the fence I’m sorry it’s bad form. I think it’s fair to say Danny certainly wasn’t expecting that from nicolai either, he’s usually hard but fair, Danny was very unimpressed when he came round to see if he was ok, lucky he wasn’t seriously injured.

Been stood on the second bend all my life and that was one of the most deliberate fencing’s I’ve ever seen.

Absolutely disgusting from Klindt

Finnish kid vuolas looks a tidy rider

It’s great to have guys if that calibre in the team, watching how they go about business inspires you to push yourself and be the best you can be to back them up. something like that rather than “I’m going to push them for the no.1 jacket”

yep agree not realistic, and not really realistic to think he’s going to make another step up in his level now at middle thirties 20 years into a career He doesn’t help himself with interviews like earlier in the season where he reckons he’s gonna be pushing Emil and Jason tho

I agree but equally I just accept any team to put together he’ll be in it cos he’s never not going to be. I’ve kind of made me peace with king letting us down too tbh, while it feels like he lets us down I’m not sure he does. he is what he is a solid middle order man, he’s never been a real top rider and he’s never going to be we hope and expect for him be better than he is, but you can’t have 5 no 1’s in a team tho can you, have to try build the best around Doyle and Emil if they both want to be back

So many variables in what any kind of league structure in the uk is going look like next year but going off of current averages and the same 39 plus rising star team building as this year is go for something like emil rew tarasenko king doyle new euro 4 point youngster dan t if tarasenko stays a 5 because he hasn’t ridden enough meetings and the usual 2.5% reduction for king this would come in a shade under 39

Anyone near the track? Pissing down at mine in rendlsham

The awful track is winning the meeting at the moment

Think the lineup makes sense tbh, more chance of a 5-1 with Erik and Emil paired than rew with Emil or Erik and Danny. rew likes a bit slicker too so not being out in heat 1 and being out in 14 will suit

Me too mate I was being silly

Thought heat 15’s didn’t count towards averages

Actually there should be a public explanation to the fans as to why they’ve allowed kemp a club asset join Leicester only to sign the lad he came in for, makes zero sense

One can only assume rowe won’t ride for rising star money

All very well beating king but completely missing in 13 & 15!

Can’t see Tungate being the answer, I’m kind of hoping worrall will be out at pboro and we can draft him in for barker if Erik isn’t fit by the end of the 28 days, Joe needs upgrading at 7 and unlikely but we need an upgrade on king. Difficulty with that is it’ll mean looking to the continent and I’m not sure if the right riders are keen to come or if they are keen/willing affordable - average wise either pawlicki could come in as a straight swap for king i believe as an example but would probably be far too expensive

Indefensible performance that, can’t wait to hear how Hawkins puts a positive spin on that and says something about Danny not being himself or some crap. too much pressure on Danyon. barker not good enough to replace riss - hence his average is almost 2 points lower. King absolutely miles off did he beat an opponent tonight??? what’s the point in rew being in the team if he’s in Poland?? I know it’s not the kids fault but why British speedway have agreed to lettingnpoland have priority on Thursdays is beyond me

What’s the excuse for the track today then? No threat of rain could’ve prepared however they want. Absolutely dreadful
