In fairness, Tate looked phenomenal in the ride he won.

It depends who you speak to. Race night is an issue. The preference is to keep Fridays. How strong that preference is varies a little. But at the moment, the Premiership does not have enough upside to mess with a setup they seem to be happy with (crowd numbers, mainly).

It's in four weeks' time!

Great stuff from Redcar tonight - I did say not to underestimate them! Heats 14/15 were sublime. Nice to Ace scoring well, Jody's coming along nicely, and Tate had a fine win in his second ride. Glasgow didn't quite fully fire, and Redcar's team are hard to beat once ahead. No complaints, and it's still possible to win at Redcar in 2052 when the second leg finally comes round. It was a mistake to give Redcar choice of gates in heat one though - starting the meeting giving Charles Wright the inside gate really set the tone in the opening heats. We were constantly chasing and we made hard work of it. Still, it's a win. "Only" need a draw now. On to next Friday.

I wouldn't underestimate Redcar. I think they'll believe they can win the tie.

Yeah, I know why your numbers include the bonus 😄 He is very close. But the point was, there are very few riders who approach Bomber's consistency over the last few years. To say he's been poor when it matters is daft. His 13+1 at Armadale mattered - it was a crucial contribution to an away win against Edinburgh! I'd say most Glasgow fans would say that mattered!

Bomber has bettered his Championship average year-on-year for the last five years. 2021: 8.11 2022: 8.98 2023: 9.18 2024: 9.30 2025: 9.35 Now show me another rider who’s done that.

Tomorrow isn't looking great for the Ashfield leg either.

Tigers lucky tonight. Edinburgh deserved a much bigger lead. 14 points should make Glasgow favourites given we'll have the usual 1-5 at home. Also, the track was fine. We live in Britain. Sometimes it gets wet. The throttle modulates and yes, you can still pass. There were a few good passes tonight.

Every other meeting between our two sides this season has been better. Our team has been awful tonight. But we shouldn't have agreed to this in the first place. We've royally shot ourselves in the foot.

Gotta love the playoffs with half your team missing.

Tedious, but I suspect it will rumble on until we can fight it out on the track.

Workington have very little riding on the results of their fixtures.

Glasgow won't pull it back with that team. No Villads, no win.

Very iffy. Could go either way. Currently looking like rain from midday.
