Zischke is riding tonight at Oxford

Won't it be up to 75% of Riss's average. [5.68]

Surely nobody could be that cynical? 🤥

'Equipment issue'. I don't know the details but I did see someone suggest it was a non-compliant helmet.

Called off after 7 2/3rd heats and 1 hour 40 mins rain delay.

That sounds like it. The example that springs to mind is the closure of the back straight at Sheffield

Only required for capacities above 10,000 so this doesn't sound like a plausible reason

I don't understand this. Who isn't licensed and what sort of licence is missing?

Probably

Winner of the equivalent meeting 10 years ago: Jan Kvech. Other notable competitors: Mateusz Cierniak [world under 21 champion in 2022, current Ekstraliga rider for Motor Lublin] and Dan Thompson

Holsted attendance 10891 Surely a typo? (Even free meetings do well to pull in 5000)

Ellis is fourth in N'ton Green sheets so Lidsey (2nd) does get an r/r

WTF

Use OX4 2PG on sat navigation. Turn left off Watlington Rd onto Oxford Road. Note there are currently roadworks, which mean you currently can not turn right off Watlington Road when approaching from out of town[if the configuration is unchanged from last week]

Ellis has the same average as Flint in the Polish National League, but is above Masters, Lawson and Jeppesen.

He was however very impressive at Wight last night. Three wins from the back (Morley twice and Southwick), and nearly a fourth (Butcher)

That's pretty normal, no 8's are often named on the day. But let me amend your original post: Dan Thompson isn't down to ride watch today in Poland

If that's keeping averages down then Poole are shockingly bad at it. Lawson, Cairns, Newman and Kerr basically rode to their average, 4 from four will cause only a small drop in Rushen's average, and Harrison/Ward are irrelevant. If a team is dropping averages they will be going for narrow wins and the occasional big defeat, not narrow defeats.

New average 7 days after 6 matches. Scunny was 7th, but only two days after match six.

Home av 6.20, away 5.74 (all official exc bonus) He just likes riding against Ipswich 3 matches 19 rides 38 pts +3 bonus

I do. I spent a lot of time on a 2009 thread this week.

Rushen is not KLs rising star, so can't benefit from a 25% discount for ceasing to be one.

There's a very good bus/tram service. Tickets can be purchased from many convenience stores. There were still trams running after last year's GP and that was after an hour's rain delay.

Bus 201 & 202 (I think) Still a reliable service after the meeting. [And free for us ancients]

I think that includes his 7 from 5 on Friday (the day after the cut off). His GSA will be 5.00 next month
