FAST GATER

BZ will have his work cut out tonight with both lambert and Kurtz at the top of their game and Dudek in the mix as well .

Woryna I think he has great ability and skill but just needs to calm it down a little .

The sport is dangerous enough without unnecessary reckless actions being taken ,I was glad to see the back of NP and his ilk ,I genuinely cannot comprehend anyone wanting to watch a rider deliberately fence another ,the consequences of these actions often lead to significant and often career ending injury .I have no issue with robust riding or if a mistake is made but to substitute skill and ability with fear that you don't care for your's or fellow riders safety has no place in this sport .

perhaps for GP's but they are both solid performers at league level

on this occasion i think you are correct

ht 18 will be interesting to say the least !

Didn't fancy BZ chances here could decide the title race tonight

Hopefully it is nothing too bad sadly he like few others are reaching the stage where injury and age is catching up with them .

I think the significant amount of money he has earned in a relatively weak PL might be part of the reason ,fair play to him hope he has earned a good retirement out of it .

BZ just struggling a bit at the moment .

Doyle needs to give GP'S a miss !

If he any good it should not matter !!

???

I think he is just riding well has dialled in the track and is the best rider there tonight ,seems the rest cant find away past. Lambert has this to lose !

Not a huge shock but I am glad he is walking away from the sport on his own terms best wishes for long and happy retirement .

I hope he wins but Kurtz won it last year and there is only three points in it .

It always happens once a rider even contemplates retiring they seem to have fall away quite quickly ,the CL is a possibility next season but IMO now he should make this his last season as a rider .

I think there are less financial penalties( if any) for missing GP'S than league matches ,if he aggravated his injury in the GP he may well be unpopular to say the least with his league teams .

The age old scenario as you get older the injuries take longer to heal and often not properly or without leaving legacies in comparison to when you were younger .

Time and injuries starting to catch up will have rely on W/C at this rate !

I have been on for what seems forever but have noticed a huge decline in posts over the last couple of years .

Scotty got half the points !

It seems to me Lynn is a track that you either ride well or not I believe many riders don't like riding there as they say the fence is less than forgiving .In his final season for Wolves PK threw a sicky ( almost unheard of from him)and would not ride at Lynn I assume for fear of injury .

Would love that but IMO when riders even hint at retiring it seems to break the spell !
