Imagine Masters was in ht15 with Douglas as Morris, Howarth and Kemp had already had a minimum Of 5 rides by then so spreading the load

Did Klindt fall and get injured last night as he’s down as injured for Redcar tonight (King in as his replacement)?

Looking at Sheffields results this week, do the promotion need to be starting to look out to see who is available for Rowe? 4 points from 8 rides in 2 away meetings and 5 from 4 at home v a weakened Belle Vue doesn’t really cut the mustard especially when the side is pretty weak at the reserve positions away from Owlerton. He’s been struggling recently as well for Oxford and know his Polish club have been using Francis Gusts in place of him as well. Is it a blip and he’ll ride into form, or do they change before his average goes south and not enough to play with to find a replacement?

Last thing I was told was that McDiarmid concentrating on Championship only in UK for 2026 and Poland Ekstraliga (Fri/Sun) and U24 (Tues). Suppose things (and money) can change things though

Pretty sure the Redcar change comes to effect Friday so Jenkins still has a team spot as of today

Hopefully it’s not a slick dust fest gate and go meeting for fans attending and using BSN! Can see Leicester’s engine room and reserves comfortably outscoring Sheffield’s with heat leaders nullifying each other. Home win 50-40

Jeppesen and NKI both missing tonight with injuries sustained in Danish semi finals last night. Bomber in as a guest for NKI plus R/R for Jeppesen

Long mid week journey though for any of the Glasgow fans making the away trip, at least the weather is good!

Poole to get low to mid 50’s tonight, Bomber off form in Championship, not a happy hunting ground for Howarth who is the in form rider for Glasgow, can’t see Flint getting much picking from the Poole heatleaders. I’d expect Lawson to go undefeated by a Glasgow rider, Poole reserves to have a field day against the Glasgow reserves and middle order, with Kerr and Cook to have a solid double digit night also

Laguta and Kubera injured in Sweden tonight, can imagine the Polish teams not giving riders any new start permissions other than what they signed at start of season which could put the kybosh on any new signings for Belle Vue especially if looking at any Ekstraliga riders.

I’m pretty sure that if Howarth hadn’t have fell in his first ride at Northampton last week and picked up a point then Morris would have been at reserve for June, Kemp, Howarth and Morris all very close on the rolling averages. Howarth on an 8.5 average so far this season (although only 2 league meetings that count towards and average) so Leicester have someone at number 6 that could be a match winner especially if anyone having an off night it’s an easy reserve replacement swap option for Dickson

No longer follow Sheffield to every home and away so by picking and choosing looks like this meeting was a good one to miss. Holder jnr goes missing again at NSS so good job Holder snr turned up or Sheffield could have been handed theirs on a plate by Belle Vue.

Howarth already given Worky the thumbs up whereas Edinburgh assumed a conversation about possible situation was guaranteed rather than confirming it. Howarth will always give 100 no matter what race jacket he has on. If he misses the meeting tomorrow Belle Vue will be weaker on the evening meeting at Owlerton as most know NSS not Howarth’s favourite track for the 12pm meeting

Hearing there a possible r/r that might be taking over one of the guests covering both meetings that will definitely weaken at in the away meeting

Most of Mario’s problems this year haven’t been equipment related its the fact he can only ride the track when it’s slick (would have been ok at Scunthorpe last night as that was ridiculously slick). When he’s visiting every track for the first time he’s going to be always behind the 8 ball to start with. If he takes on advise from the experienced riders in Bomber, Kyle and Leon every meeting be that home or away he could start getting into the points on a regular basis at reserve. Was good to see Sam mixing it last night especially as used the inside to get past a few Scorpions rather than his customary outside line only approach. I can’t work out the rolling averages as never know the score that’s getting replaced by the current meeting but it must be getting very close for Bomber to lose his number 1 race position

Lidsey has the ability he just need to dial in to his home track as well as he did at NSS if he continues like he did after his first one tonight he’ll be able to be a 1 or 5 after being a 3 for seasons at Belle Vue. As for Klindt well he just Klindt, first or last seems to be his mantra

Then pull his start permission in UK and Denmark! 🙈

Klindt might as well ride with brakes on! Every race so far he comes out of bend 2 looks inside, rolls off, foot down and other just scoot past with ease. He is a total enigma, but surely they must let him go after his 3 homes performances this season

Lindsey’s home average is 4.44 (10 from 9 rides) and Klindt 2.28 (4 from 7 rides) which is where the problem is

When is Kildemand due back after his collarbone, is it in time for Monday’s double header v Sheffield does anyone know or will they be running with guests for him and Bewley?

Not his biggest fan but Batchelor is riding above his start of season average, it’s Lidsey and Klindt that have been major flops so far for the Foxes. If the track is slick like the Lions riders like it can see another away victory on the horizon

Duplicate

Awful news for Dan Bewley as a person, for his pursuit of a GP crown and as a Belle Vue rider as nigh on impossible to replace in the team

Mario would have been in for the shock of his life at Scunny especially with it forecast nice weather as Godfrey will flood the track as he always does in those conditions!! Thinking Jack Smith score more than 2 it’d be better than what Mario would have got even at reserve spot

BSPL decided that this years picks were from the 2025 British Final positions and not in 2026 form or with any input form the Painter at Team GB. Personally think it should be based on a riders form from this year and not a meeting held a year ago as that British Final enabled the choice of the GB SGP wildcard .
