No it’s not, his bikes are here, he has been in his car for 7 hours, very serious crash on A1 and he was trapped in the closure. https://www.stamfordmercury.co.uk/news/man-airlifted-to-hospital-after-a1-crash-9080083/

Could Wolves have any more luck, Fricke out, NBJ out and now Bjerre not here as stuck in traffic.

R/R will score half the amount Fricke would have scored, that’s about 6 or more points lost so 12 point difference on score.

Belle Vue now announced it’s R/R for Fricke

Did you not watch the GP and see what he did? Although he carried on riding in the GP, am sure it will have been lot more painful next day when adrenaline wore off. Apart from the person who has posted up further in this thread, not heard from anyone else that’s its R/R.

Last few years they been very selective which blocks they sell, the blocks behind the camera, 1st to 4th bend upper tier hardly have anyone in them now with some completely empty. They try and fill the back straight and 2nd/3rd bends. Last year we bought cheapest tickets and when went to collect them were given free upgrade to back straight middle tier to fill it out.

Not really any decent food pubs near the track, best can think of is The Windmill, couple of miles away but just off the motorway on the road in to track. https://www.stonehouserestaurants.co.uk/nationalsearch/northwest/thewindmilldenton

I presume as nothing said about Fricke that he is ok, unless making a later decision tomorrow. Would have to go with King though, can’t rely on R/R at number 1 with our middle order.

And we only have couple of weeks meetings left possibly.

Fricke and NBJ both injured last night.

Going to be unused soon when the Bradford Bulls move out https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/17840618.bradford-bulls-leave-odsal-dewsbury/

How can it get to 7.40pm to be revealed that Jason Garrity is guesting for Kyle Howarth? Nothing from either club

Michel Michelsen is the wildcard. Surprised BSI/Jacob Olsen didn’t give it to Nicki Pedersen to boost crowd numbers.

Correct in the Star includes all meetings including cup meetings and also include bonus points. Official green sheet averages are rolling averages so include meetings from 2018 too that’s why Batchelor not at number 1 currently. In 2019 league meetings before last night Doyle 8.32, Batchelor 8.68. The point is people have been comparing him to Adams, Briggs, Crump etc, those riders regularly had 10 point averages in lot tougher leagues. Doyle is an 8 this year in a poor quality league.

He’s not top of the averages, Batchelor has higher average than him! Doyle currently averaging 8.32 this season which is poor for a rider of his standard.

A good score tonight but he has been poor generally, should be scoring like that every match in this standard of league and should have a high 9 point average.

We only have to win 2 out of 3 home meetings to do so probably.

It was announced this morning that Jack Smith was guesting for Flint but now been changed to R/R

BELLE VUE V LEICESTER – 7:30PM – THURSDAY, AUGUST 8 Belle Vue ‘Cool Running’ Colts:Kyle Bickley (C) 9.47, Ben Rathbone 3.58, Jordan Palin 8.92, Danny Phillips 7.64, Leon Flint R/R 9.20, Connor Bailey 2.00, Ben Woodhull 3.24; TM: Steve Wiiliams & Graham Goodwin Leicester ‘Roger Webster’ Cubs:Danyon Hume 8.93, Luke Ruddick R/R 6.67, Joe Lawlor (G) 7.03, Dan Thomson 6.00, Anders Rowe (G) 8.75, Josh Embleton (G) 2.80, Ryan Terry-Daley 4.28; TM: David Darcy & David Howard

That's what I said to Martin Dugard last night why not post the whole video, he said he couldn't as was under investigation, so instead he just posted a short edited clip not showing everything that happened especially what his brother was doing.

Best meeting seen at Wolves for quite a few years, the track was good with the outside line working so riders were not just having to hug the kerb coming off bends. Also good to get through a meeting there without several crashes.

Fricke has done well away, his current away average is 7.58, couple of weeks ago it was over 8.00 but then had a big crash in Poland 2 weeks ago and his scores everywhere have not been great since.

Our current away form has been the same all season but we still won at Peterborough twice comfortably.

I think the shape of Kings Lynn is fine, it’s the way it’s prepared and type of dirt used that is the problem.
