Zmarzlik has great talent but all this talk of greatest of all time etc is rubbish. Compare to the likes of Rickardsson, Crump etc when they had constant opposition against each other plus like of Pedersen, Hancock, Adams, Gollob etc completely different.
He missed ONE meeting for Belle Vue. After probably fooshily riding in the GP qualifier with damaged damaged ligaments he then ended up in hospital the next day, ever since he hasn’t ridden in Sweden; Poland or UK since. I think the SCB would have said something trying to ride with this on :

Today was first meeting back since 25 May, I’m 99.9% sure he will be at Sheffield on Thursday.
Thats Swaffham which is between Kings Lynn and Norwich
As for the 30 miles how would you explain Wolverhampton and Birmingham, 12 miles between them. Belle Vue and Buxton was less then 30 too.
It is 6 figures its costing, and has led to the high costs along with the high amount Discovery are charging.
I'm not an economic business person but whether they were hoping for more sponsorship etc but with the high ticket prices obviously lot of people not attending now and that stand not required really.
The GP Challenge isn't till October! Kurtz will be back well before then.
As for Bewley it was the first GP in Croatia he broke his toe, and then the following day was knocked off his bicycle by a car.
If that would have been the reason then that would have been fair enough but Mark Lemon said the medical person raised concern about shale piled up by air fence.
There wasn't a 20 minutes track grade at heat 9 you completely wrong there , there was big track grade was after heat 4, after that there was only couple of very short 2 lap track grades to smooth the ruts out.
The tractor bloke as you put it, after heat 10 rain got the track back to how it was after heat 4 with a hell of a lot of blading moved all the slop up by the air fence and could have continued.
only losing team can ask for a postponement from referee.
Belle Vue still wouldn’t have won but it was just getting the meeting completed.
