I know that but did that mean they would've been? As I said, they haven't said who was unavailable.

They haven't said that though have they, just rider unavailability, for all we know it could've been four or five of them missing but as usual there's no honesty. If there was, I could be empathetic.

I'm not slagging anyone off, merely wanting to be informed who was unavailable - surely they can be honest can't they?

That's my understanding. MPT made a successful comeback last week so RR & one guest from the Championship. I expect Laguta had also cried off.

He's a very talented young rider of course but no certainty in that. I do think though that other venues would provide different challenges and as much as the Grand Prix is lauded by many as achieving a worthy world champ I see this argument as pretty much the same. The British Championship series would be one I'd be interested in attending/watching.

Reminded me of Kelvin Tatum at the bonfire burn up grasstrack one year.

Gotta love the bulldog spirit of Barker

That would be when the others are entering the third bend

This is gripping viewing, the British Final delivers for entertainment.

The track makes weight far less important as track craft rather than sheer speed brings results.

Wright was unlucky there, if anyone had fallen on that first bend it would've been all four back

Fantastic ride from Wright, that's how to do it

It's wet, so what, can still be ridden & raced, track is wide just use your head.

Should've held it at Foxhall, lovely sunny day in this part of the UK

I very much doubt that, maybe add a few at best.

Hagon, really?

Well I'm still looking forward to it, normally has some unexpected results and good racing.

They did tweet this about 9 hours ago from the official address, although Worrall told the BSN audience on Friday night he wasn't doing it.

I quite like watching him going about his business to be honest but then I am unusual.

Yep, riding in the UK has benefitted him

Think it was shorter in those days and after his crash they made it longer

I thought it was almost exactly the same place to be honest

Couldn't really see from where I was but just a typical Danish manouvre, you always take a risk going around the outside of one of them

I don't think that at all. He was never a rider to mix it in the GP's either, relied a lot on gating/speed - some might say 'gating tart'. He was trying in his first two races and then again at the start of his third but when they got close, he backed off.

Exactly, British speedway requires skillful riders, not just throttle jockeys. However it was his first time at foxhall I think but nevertheless, when riders got close to him in his last ride he wimped out of battling with them.
