What is even "sprint" about it? If they wanted to copy other sports, which they seem determined to do, they should run a series of one lap dashes... Or, god forbid, come up with an original idea! How about something like a rider nominating one of his races during the main meeting to count to qualification to an extra "Golden" race? This could be tactical, so Zmarzlik could nominate his "quali" race when he meets his nearest rival to harm their chances or an "easy" race to stand a better chance of qualification to the bonus race... that's just off the top of my head

It's one of the few French words I know

Doyley could have picked it up for him... oh hang on... So whatever happened to Tungate was in his control.

Should he have been sentenced to death? You don't seem to want him to be able to earn an honest living, that's what I assume you mean by "reward"... what do you suggest he do?

Perhaps you needed the Leicester track staff to travel over and show you how to do it properly... we do owe you one

You could also add in Pelt: A pelt is an animal's skin, fur and all. If you are wearing a fur coat, you are really wearing a pelt.

King, the former British Champ? ... like Adam Ellis

I remember when every track had track rakers coming out to prep the track after EVERY race, meaning there was no need for tractor racing

Some of the Witches need to take a look at themselves tonight, DT is showing them what is possible

Isn't that called making it up as you go along? Where do you draw the line? That's why there's a rule book so everybody knows where they stand. You could argue that for anything, tape touching, I've seen riders react to camera flashes going off and touching the tapes, unfair, but rules is rules... are you going to have a hearing for every decision that needs to be made? Traffic hold up in this country is okay, traffic hold up in Poland isn't... what if the traffic hold up is in England on the way to Scotland? It never ends

Not our fault your riders are such homers

Heat 9 was pretty hare-em scare-em stuff... yikes!

You can take dirt off though

That's why you need rules and not just make inconsistent decisions on a case by case basis

NSS getting on for 10 years old now... they should have sussed track prep by now

Only because the meeting was held up for him... why not wait for Tungate/Doyle... stupid I know, but rules must be consistent

The NSS is getting on for 10 years old... you'd think that they'd be able to prepare a track that wasn't so grippy in damp conditions by now When it's good it's the best, when it's bad it's quite processional

What about when Bomber didn't make it in time for "start time" at Glasgow the other week? Due to being stuck in traffic?

If Schlein's voice gets any higher it's going to shatter my TV!

Emil burnt his on an exhaust a few weeks ago and are allegedly at the tailors for repair. JJ, not so sure.

The thing is we live in an information media age, it's the easiest thing in the world to put out a statement explaining the circumstances and then there is no speculation (Unless it's Buster at King's Lynn that is )

Almost as ludicrous as penalising a team for 1 night because a rider has not passed a drugs test

The trouble is in this new era of transparency we have no idea what went on with Tungate, the SCB don't seem answerable to the media, public or fans

Hasn't there been a similar case recently with a Scottish football team?
