Didn't they say he was a sponsor representative or something.

RnR!!!! GET HIM OFF THIS FORUM!!!!

Zero I would have thought as everybody else manages to spell his name correctly ... but Fricke looked over three times at Smarslick last night as they were coming out of turn 2, lap 1 and still failed to slam the door shut on him at the end of the back straight! I don't think anybody was going to stop BZ from winning last night though.

Maybe a quick 4 fingers up while still holding onto the handlebar grip... but that's all

He actually missed 2 meetings (so far) for Belle Vue, at Oxford after getting injured abroad, he then returned for the GP qualifier, then missed the next Belle Vue match... but don't let the facts get in the way

Which is exactly the way it should be, I can't bare to watch these riders slobbering over each other after a race. It's all too chummy chummy, it's part of the reason why everybody just lets Zmarlik by when he's on their tailpipe, so they can have kisses and cuddles with him afterwards, instead of slamming the door shut with a I don't give a f**k what you think about it attitude. A lot of it started with Greg Hancock throwing himself over riders after races back in the 90's, if you look at old videos from before that period riders very rarely even acknowledged each other, let alone shook hands, now it's all touchy feely. I think the beef started a few years ago when Fricke was selected for the SoN by Lemo ahead of Holder, whether it goes deeper than that I don't know. But I rather like Jack Holder's No F**ks given attitude, not particularly by what he says as he's a bit of a DJ Woffy lite on that front but he's currently backing that up on track.

It'll be interesting to see if Fricke continues his run and if by some chance Doyley gets fit before the end of the season, would Doyle come back into the GP's if Fricke was in the position to do something, top 3, top 6? Another good GP, it's been a pretty good year so far, with the exception of Prague.

Why do riders keep disappearing behind the giant screen in the pits and holding their hands near their groins?

It's a wonder that Pete Adams keeps showing up for DJ Woffy in the GP's, you get the impression that he doesn't suffer fools and wouldn't be wasting his time if he didn't think DJ Woffy's heart wasn't still in it.

I thought they changed the rule years ago

You do like his protective boot don't you? Perhaps he'll sign it and give it to you if he ever comes back

DJ Woffy heading off to the nightclub early again tonight

Boring zzzzzzzzzz

No 2 year waiting list?

Should be... good job he didn't pick up a ban

Just been listening to the British Speedway podcast and they said it's on Discovery+

I know, maybe they should, they might be missing a trick

Dayle Wood seems to have come on a bundle since last year. I don't know what he's like at Armadale but he seemed so much more in control and safer than last season. The automated starting system didn't seem to be in use tonight with the ref telegraphing his over elaborate button presses to anybody who cared to look at him.

They were still projecting a $0.5m loss on it!!! (Whether that was for the benefit of TV though I don't know)

Thankfully that livened up somewhat after a tremendously dull start. The top 2 points scorers made some bizarre gate choices in the semis, all part of the learning process though I suppose

Is Kelvin stroking one off? Wtf!?!

Heat 10 an absolute commentary and camera angle shambles!

A lot of people call him Lindsey... even Lemo, so annoying

Can somebody drop WBD a line and tell them how to spell Marshal
