I was aware that TS couldn't be used in heat 8, didn't think there couldn't be a reserve change... what if the RS is injured? Not sure, I have never watched a NDL meeting. Looking at the Championship stats: Sam Hagon GSA 5.18 CMA 5.82 Jake Mulford GSA 4.10 CMA 5.15 And NDL: Sam Hagon GSA 11.47 CMA 11.47 Jake Mulford GSA 8.14 CMA 8.28

Brennan isn't a second hear leader yet, but he has done a sterling job for Brummies this year. No one should expect him to consistently take points off either Holder or Fricke. Brummies were let down by the two reserves, Flint & Castagne should not have dropped points to the Sheffield reserves. Palm Toft is living off his reputation from the Panthers Dads Army play off success .. he's frankly been a disappointment since. He gets a pass tonight since it was his Brummies debut.

I thought aggregate bonus had been lost after Lidsey's spill and the consequential Spires 1-5 in heat 3. I've seen better spectacles at the NSS. Janowski is very hot & cold. Dodgy team management on both sides, Voulas should have replaced Mulford (who I don't think is the answer to Ace's RS gap) in heat 8 and Oxford should have used TS in heat 9. Thought Kurtz was going to come off going so wide in the really deep stuff on bend four on laps 2 & 3 of heat 15, Bewley did him no favours as they entered the second lap that's for sure.

Shame all any of the DJ's have is cheesy 70 & 80's rock

I only saw both teams on Thursday night, when Kemp was riding. Ever since it feels like I've been dealing with Crowd Strike.

Riss's is occupying visitor 2 position in the pits? Edit.... just seen line-ups, Riss was at 6 on Thursday. So Kemp has been dropped?

I thought as I was leaving the stadium on Thursday that the bonus point would be tough. Aces will have to ride better tonight. I seem to have been at NSS allot recently with the SoN.

Was aware Smektala's scores have been poor but thought Cook came in for Kołodziej when he was injured.

Leszno are in trouble, can see Grudziadz winning this. Ben Cook replacement for Smektala?

Half a decade, Zmarzlik didn't win his first world title until 2019. Doyle was head & shoulders above anyone else in 2016 & 2017 and in 2019 had there been an additional round Madsen would probably have taken gold, Zmarzlik fell over the finishing line. In regards to today Grudziadz hold a 54-35 advantage over Leszno from earlier in the year, can't see Leszno making that up for the aggregate point which could go along way to deciding which team finishes the Ekstraliga season bottom.

I got it now, thanks. Thanks to the updates forum. Was not very helpful. How do Kings Lynn end up in a dire situation annually with riders? They could sign "dream" everyone's 1-7 that fits under the points limit - and next years everyone's will include Pi Pawlicki & Janowski BTW - yet something would go wrong.

Where was Basso?

Fairly abject performance from the Aces, aggregate situation on Monday should be interesting at least.

Stupid to use tactical substitute against Weight & Janowski.

The track is fine now, once every rider has been out on it once I would hope the coasting into corners is no more. Lidsey & Kemp are going for it now and certainly weren't in their first ride.

It's too grippy, some of the riders are struggling to turn the bikes. Thought so, thanks.

Is the track record faster than the Hans Nielsen record that no-one got close to for years? Or is that null & void as the track is different?

Track is not as wet as it was when Brummies were here last season. It looked as if they'd put half the river Avon on it that night.

Marvelous. My third visit and second time track prep issues. Kemp & Kurtz were certainly very tentative in heat 1 - too grippy I assume.

Probably covered previously but currently sat in YVR international departures and have just spotted this. Lindgren replaces who? Milik? Lampart?

Mountain v Pickering & Holder Snr

Haha. I was back on the M1 way before that, but it was 50 mph for most of he time I was on it, then the A38 and A5 were partially shut so a bit of a pain!

If you look further back Bailey gifted a point to Edwards in heat 2, trying to pass Mountain on the outside. Mountain was by far the best reserve tonight and had Lemon put him in heat 14 I'm sure he'd have beaten Edwards and may have held Pickering up for long enough to give Cook a decent lead. Yes, he'd have been off the bloody awful gate 3 but it wasn't such a handicap later on and Mountain was gating well. There wasn't much passing really, from heats 9-11 two 5-1's (1 for each team) turned into 3-3's on turns 3 & 4. Firstly Pickering sneaking around Mountain to make the Belle Vue reserve switch to the outside which allowed Holder senior to pass him inside, a heat later Holder junior stuffed Howarth allowing Lidsey & Cook through.

Why didn't Lemon swap Mountain for Bailey in heat 14? That could be the difference.

7:30 start - I think. Confirmed.
