Any weather updates would be appreciated as a few of us are travelling up for this match

Quite an entertaining meeting and clearly a few were rusty. Holder was excellent and looked very quick and Etheridge looked fast when he made the gate but not quite as quick when he didn’t. I though gate 4 was awful and a big disadvantage to anyone off it, Quite impressed with Eurosport I think they did a good job.

Sheffield have made no further press releases since the match preview on Sunday.

RS can ride at 6 or 7.

Regulations for 2021 are the 2020 issue plus the recent 2021 supplementary V2

He has ridden in Denmark the last two nights as well, should be race fit next week.

I asked this prior to booking and was told you would be offered an online voucher for rebooking in the event of a rain off

From what I have heard their is some slack being given this year as travelling in and out of the country will undoubtedly cause problems for most teams at some points. I just hope that this slack is applied fairly to everyone and no one is allowed to take advantage.

Still showing tickets available this evening, very strange

Reply says an online voucher for rebooking will be offered should a match be rained off.

I have asked the question re Sheffield as four of us are planning to attend the match on the 20th May I will let you know what’s said.

Bspa news today mentions Wolves opening fixture

We will see

Surely this is more ACU territory than BSPA.

Somerset could improve a lot of things, toilets, terracing, seating and food establishments. Racing is generally very good but it’s still just a track in a field with a nice clubhouse.

Falling star anyone

Or even their pedantic sidekicks

2% over 10 years is what’s been reported on the GP site.

That ship has well and truly sailed, rides as a New Zealand rider in all recent WC qualifiers which is the deciding factor I am told.

Every track has some home track advantage although it clearly varies from track to track. Belle Vue is no different.

It’s an old team I don’t think anyone can dispute that, as to whether that will affect its ability to do well remains to be seen. Things will become clearer in May but as long as the track is set up to suit our team of racers I don’t see too much of a problem and look forward to a return of the racing.

Palin is a talent I don’t think many will argue with that, but as you say Bates and Bacon have a clear advantage over most of the other no 7,s.

Josh Bates final 2019 GSA is 5.20, bearing in mind he is likely to ride at no 7 how on earth can it be right to compare him with any of the other Rising stars riding at no 7 who have yet to ride in the Premiership. Its ludicrous.

Of course that’s assuming they all start when they usually do, at the moment it isn’t looking too promising.

Who knows, for some reason no one provides starting GSA anymore.
