    But that's the point and what separates the really great riders from the fast but not so great. It's not impossible to pass but takes great skill and effort, not just make the bike faster.

    The thing that wasn't changed was the rider 😀 Can't always be out front and he's had a 6 point average for a few years for a reason.

    I have no desire to see him in the UK again

    Couldn't make it last night, how was the second half event?

    Watched this 'non-live' and thought it was good tense meeting - I see people still on here bemoaning their perception of a lack of passing. Racing is not all about passing, faster guys can make starts too! Well done Leicester & TNT for an entertaining watch, enjoyed Chris and Kelvin too.

    Who's that?

    Refuse to ride here, lose your place, it should be that simple, everyone has a choice, including the club.

    At least we found out that Foord is not the answer to the vacant No. 7 position. Couldn't ride the track comfortably at all, was sitting on the seat in the bends far too much, a bit like Hume or Jake Allen used to, making it difficult to control when the grip hits. Hopefully he's learnt from the experience.

    It will be a Lindgren Kurtz 1-2 I hope, there's money riding on it 😃

    Well, contrary to all the constant moaners, I like Kelvin's commentary. He's enjoyable to listen to and him and Chris Louis do a good job. I don't t want to listen to some dull statto type.
  11. SPEEDY69
    He's hoping for yet another wildcard for next year.

    I think that's a great question. I've no doubt that Nielsen would still beat almost all the current riders, as he did back in the 80s/90s, particularly in the UK. It's called speedway but plenty of people are very successful with ultimately 'slower' machines. It's about talent/skill and getting the most out of what you're riding - the dream of being world champion by having the quickest bike is just that, a dream.

    He should have tried Mildenhall or Iwade back in the 90s, 'changing room' at the latter was a 50s caravan with no shower or curtains. Has he not ridden some of the dog awful tracks they have in the Danish league 😁
  14. SPEEDY69
    Nothing is worth that surely?😁
  15. SPEEDY69
    I agree, I don't think engines are more reliable these days, riders just pay to have them serviced mitch more regularly. Some riders from yesteryear only got theirs serviced once all season, unheard of now. I used to do 20-25 meetings and never had a reliability issue back in the 90s. It all adds to the cost and riders pay demands and cost of entry.
