Despite him completing the meeting at Belle Vue on Monday? Interesting to see if he takes his place at Ipswich tonight.

Any reason given?

Didn't ride for them. Or Poole. Curiouser and curiouser.

Who does Richard Lawson ride for? I might have got the wrong end of the stick, but he wasn't he missing for Poole yesterday because he was riding for his Danish club?

Exactly. Watch the Oxford meeting from terraces. Head into the main grandstand at 9pm. Watch the remaining heats, while also watching the football on the big TV screens in the upstairs bar. Stick around to watch the rest of the football match. Better watching the football in a shared environment than watching it at home by yourself.

Morgan Williams in for Cluff tonight? Live Updates – British Speedway Official Website

In 2022, those who went back on Sunday had to endure sitting there for FOUR hours with a track grade every TWO races. The big pay-off of the semi-finals and final were called off, because the track had supposedly suddenly deteriorated, when in truth it had been awful since around Heat 12 of the previous day. So the most three important races weren't ON that day, whatever you may choose to claim. Rose-tinted specs, perhaps? I did go to the subsequent two Cardiffs, but many didn't bother. The racing at Cardiff varied between poor and awful - I think that's why the majority stopping going.

Went to every Cardiff GP, but don't miss it. Manchester is better - Friday's meeting last year was better than any meeting staged at Cardiff.

Interestingly, Speedway Live Updates has today's changes on it (R/R for Cook and Pijper for Gilkes), while the new British Speedway updates site doesn't as yet. Maybe room for both!

Looks like Klindt is missing tonight

It was all revealed here: PREVIEW: Depleted Cheetahs head to Edinburgh – OXFORD SPEEDWAY And Cairns and Sedgmen were also thanked here: REPORT: Heavily depleted Cheetahs earn respectability at Edinburgh – OXFORD SPEEDWAY Did you ignore those two press releases?

It's more the bikes than the riders. The modern lay-down reacts much better on a slicker surface, plus the bikes are now easier to race and pass when the track is slick. The power the bikes now have means they launch if the track has too much grip. Although, last night, I think the biggest problem wasn't the level of grip but the big rut halfway around the first and second bend. Dayle Wood hit it Heat 2 and lost his chain. Race leader Anders Rowe hit during Heat 4 but managed to stay on. Fraser Bowes hit it in Heat 6 and was less lucky.

Anyone using their eyes could see Kerr was not under motive power at the point the race was stopped. He should have been excluded. Wouldn't have affected who won on the night, but it did change the destination of the bonus point.

Says an Ipswich fan 😆 Quality racing right up until Heat 15 tonight, when Luke Killeen belted around Danny King. Terrific ride by Nicholls in Heat 13. He'd do that for you too if you gave him a decent track to ride on!

Congratulations on your summary of last night's meeting
