I'm not sure a Championship guest should be allowed but these days I guess anything goes.

16 points down after 8 races I have to agree. Who'd have thought Ht 15 would have been a 1-5, got to have to the home top boys winning those races really.

I think it was one of those where he could have stayed on if he'd wanted

I really don't buy all this about him being pants only because he's not fit. He was shocking last season for Glasgow and Rye House. He is inconsistent, sometimes brilliant but mostly not. If he was not fit he'd retire in those races he's not well placed - he isn't and therefore I think he's just in a rut at the moment. He has never liked riding at No.1 either.

Whether riding around in 3rd or at the back the pain from his wrist would be the same. He's declared himself fit so I think people are making excuses for him - once the gloves go on and the race starts pain can be ridden through. He's just riding like he did last year for Glasgow. Was always going to be inconsistent and he will do better again at some point.

The racing was OK but no affinity with any of those riders so didn't care who won. Prefer the world cup I think but looking forward more to the premiership coverage starting next week.

Have a look at this weeks Star, how bad have the other heat leaders been then if Scott is your best rider so far?

Disagree, Russia is about making starts - I'd have Worrall over Harris in that situation as well. Don't get me wrong I like him and would still support him but think Rosco has made the wrong call. ( only 3 points tonight at Wolves as well)

Two team meetings at Belle Vue and has got 8+2 and 9 doesn't seem too bad to me. Harris' record there is not great and was only 9th in British Final there last year.

No surprises there from Rosco at all. I would have gone with S Worrall rather than Harris.

and only two individual World Champions

Suggest you look at the PSC format again. Home No. 1 meets opposing No. 1 once, whereas No. 3 meets them twice. Both only face a reserve once, and of course there's the nominated races as well. Fact is, when not viewed with bias, it's a difficult decision for Wolves. I expect them to stick with their original team, that's what I would, and Nicholls would fit in nicely at Poole or Peterborough, unless Poole are looking to Cook as their playoff substitute this year.

I think it was a reasonable race with positions in doubt/close together - plus it was Lynn vs Ipswich! The other thing to remember is of course the BSPA adore Harris, always have and I'll never forget the year they changed the Cardiff wildcard just to ensure he was there. Wouldn't surprise me to see him in the SON either.

I'm not up to date on average calculations any more but going on the official meetings this season I make these the top 5 for Wolves: Masters 6.53 incl BP or 6.11 without Nicholls 7.67 or 6.67 Schlein 7.50 or 6.83 Howarth 5.90 or 5.14 Becker 7.00 or 6.4 Tough call for the Wolves promotion I'd say.

I don't think they need a panic postponement here, rain should all be gone by lunchtime and then periods of full sun to dry anything still around.

Trouble is, thus has bitten promoters in the past due to running out of dates later in the year and cramming fixtures in, also in dodgy weather. It can also be self defeating because next time if they say it is on but forecast shows it might rain people will also decide not to bother.

Don't forget King and Hawkins are besties.

Whether true or not I do have the opinion that he is a rider who falls off a lot/injury prone?

Agreed but in any case reliability of the bike is not a financial issue at all.

Think you'll find it came from Captain Redbeard Rum

Hi, I am looking for a deflector, doesn't matter if a Briggo or Standing type. Steel shoe for size 8 boots also. Thanks

Would save having to drop him anyway when Thorsell returns. Never rated him and seems to have lost it mentally. Still, nothing surprises me and he could be back in a Pirates race jacket before long

Should be a comfortable home win for the Aces and I fancy they may get within 6 at Monmore if Bjerre carries on as he's started, definitely their top rider so far in my view.

Bjerre was the standout rider for the aces, they have a weak tail away from NSS and Bewley was worse than that! Completely different when on his home track. Heeps/Fricke race was brilliant stuff. He's too good for reserve.

Hans Nielsen, Sam Ermolenko, Tony Rickardsson, Jason Crump. Riders never choose to get beat. Masters not looking like a No.1 Who will go when Thorsell fit?
