According to the poll it's not looking good for the Pole

I assume you mean the on board camera? I noticed that in his first race Luke Becker looked as though he had a go pro attached to the left side of his handle bars and it was sticking up so much it almost obstructed his vision of the tapes. I thought we were going to see some footage from it but we never did, whether it was a prototype or for his own personal use I don't know... not even sure it was a camera tbh

NO! NO! NO! It made Leicester look like a countryside paradise and not the 5h1t hole it actually is

So, who should go into the Birmingham Binnies? https://x.com/iainebrown/status/1795364872894792110?s=19

The white-wash statement on the BV website is as short as the meeting was long! Nice of Lemo to single out "Our fans" who "showed their patience as we tried our hardest to complete 15 heats"... and to hell with everybody else?

Apparently, according to Eurosport at least (not the greatest source of information about our sport), Buster is appealing the decision to deduct 2 points... and he may very well get them back! Why on earth the SCB charged him with breach of: 017.2 Breach of Rules f) Any proceedings or acts prejudicial to the interests of any part or body of the ACU, SCB, BSP Ltd or of the sport of motorcycling generally. a nothing wishy washy rule that could be easily appeal against When he should clearly have been charged with the much more water tight: 02.2.8 Promoter / Associate c) says meetings can be postponed due to exceptional conditions as would make racing impossible, except where: i) the SCB specifically forbids a Promotion from so doing ii) if a Meeting Steward is appointed to the meeting and must advise the Referee at the earliest opportunity Unless of course the SCB didn't specifically forbid the postponement. A conspiracy theorist may well think that the 017.2 charge was agreed with Buster so he could appeal and get them back!

I have toyed with doing that myself actually... Why the staging promotion at the televised events can't do the same is pretty poor tbh, can you imagine being stood there while they went to a break and then came back and had a right laugh doing a totally irrelevant British Final draw before re-commencing with the meeting?

Thanks, I did actually know this, which is why I specifically said Eurosport Call me a bit of an anorak but I actually watch it on Eurosport and switch over to Discovery+ during the breaks as the Discovery+ app on nVidia Shield doesn't stream the sound in Dolby 5.1, so I did see all of the heats unlike those watching solely on Eurosport

I know... not on "Eurosport" though

A bit left field... but yeah, could be fun

That really depends on what entertains you, some are entertained by the racing some by winning. Eurosport showed races from Brum all night then neglect to show heat 15 and the super heat, you can always rely on Eurosport to let you down. They really should have been at Brum tonight. As for Leicester, as solid a display as it was, still only 1 rider returning double figures, when they come up against teams with 2 decent heat leaders they're going to continue to come unstuck in my opinion

I know he used to, not sure if he still does? Looks similar to the protection Lee Complin used to use

Abi even praising him for his solo commentary as if last year never happened

Does Chris Harris wear a barrel under his race suit?

Thanks for your positive review... check @Neila out... you'll love him!

You moan more than an old "lady of the night"

Or neither and just getting the flip on with it for the fans that have paid £22 to watch an empty track

What about 500cc bikes with no brakes?

You ain't seen mine

Blimey! Don't Leicester look nice from that high shot!!!

Here to help

Norrie must be a Lions fan! I Knew it

What if a load of stuff... you can't run life on what ifs or you'd do nothing. Connor Mountain has also said the track was the best it had been after it was worked on. https://x.com/TheAces/status/1795109513407660181?s=19

Can we concede this one?

That's the trouble when you make ill informed comments based on what you see on socials... you'll be wanting brakes fitted to the bikes next! The track was in pretty good nick for heat 1, considering, the rain they had before heat 2 killed it and they shouldn't really have run the next 3. The track staff (seemingly just Andy Meredith) worked a miracle on it after heat 10 and it was the best it had been all day. This should either never have started, been called before heat 2, called just after heat 10 but it should never have been called after they did all that work to the track.
