SPEEDY69

There have been at Peterborough all this season at least.

The picture of basso's tyre to me shows they are of poor quality. The edge he was using was clearly worn but that doesn't mean a whole piece of the tyre should break away from the centre as it seems to have done.

Nicholls had the win in ht 9 but his puncture on the 3rd bend made his exit from 4th slow and Tobi got by. He was fuming afterwards! The tyres are spinning for most of the lap at Peterborough and get too hot. Never had an issue with Mitas.

I don't think the change in the track surface has helped the Panthers. Gate and go was never going to help them and I think the clay surface makes for worse racing. Luckily Harris' gating has been better this year and he has been a shining light. Injuries haven't helped.

That's exactly right, riders are there to earn money.

Exactly as predicted on the forecast.

I get that, but rain can suddenly disappear off that radar - it doesn't mean all that rain travels in the same direction for ever more. I guess the best test is standing outside with no hat.

No, I have had a couple of issues with that before - didn't travel when I should have, so just stick to the one source now.

that's a tricep stretch. It makes me grimace but then again I'm old

It's only due to rain for a while, afternoon looks fine https://xcweather.co.uk/forecast/peterborough

I posted the forecast from an accurate source on here yesterday. There was no heavy rain or 50% chance of showers. The call off was for other reasons in my view.

Always best to try and avoid hitting any fence. Think Lynn have that too?

https://www.xcweather.co.uk/forecast/King's_lynn I'm not fussed they've called it off but because of the weather? Just be honest. Peterborough rearranged one under a flimsy excuse, why can't they just say we couldn't field a side or it jeopardises our business, we'd understand.

Really pleased that Nilsson got through, great to see an underdog make it by rights. Poles shown up again outside of Poland, British tracks are not just flat-out and slick.

Odsal was a great venue but I think the roof is such a big ticket item in Cardiff's favour - maybe a 100m track would fit into the Centre Court at Wimbledon

Oh we drove and parked 10 minutes walk away. Plenty of food choices on the walk in and home in and hour and a half as it was right near the main road.

Sorry but I agree with OP, it is wholly relevant. It is the experience. Tension and exciting speedway is not all about the fastest guy missing the start.

Nicholls is also ok at the moment as he rode for Oxford last night. The call off will have been due to rider availability I expect.

To get 80k there must have been some serious promotion - but again Wembley is not in the best of areas, a bit like the NSS. Now Tottenham stadium I was impressed with when I went there to see GnR.

Stuff the moaners, Dan shows the throttle merchants how to ride, didn't see him jumping about everywhere, that's skill.

Pickering was pony at Ipswich last night but did fall in his third ride, although didn't appear injured at all and rode off again.

Nice bit of afters between Tungate and Lawson after ht15 - Lawson was trying to slow it down to allow worral through, nothing wrong with that in my view, didn't look dangerous but added some spice

He's the pre-meeting entertainment I think, doing a cover version of 'snooker loopy' in homage to Chas N Dave. He'll also be doing some TRick shots (I'll get my coat).

Given the speed with which some clubs cancel meetings, due to some rain maybe being in the air or some stadium issue or another, surely the fact that one team is so decimated, to the point it will no longer be a contest, should be an equally valid reason to postpone. Even more so given that it is the fans, rather than the home promoter who will be missing out (although you could argue for increased pay bill and slightly depleted crowd)
