Not wishing to labour the point, I'm going to labour the point. Since Max Fricke joined Leicester: 2023 rode in 24 out of 24 league matches 2024 rode in 24 out of 24 league matches 2025 has ridden in 10 out of 10 league matches Brings his mechanical team to all meetings, not a turn up and ride the track spare with a have spanner will travel mechanic Hasn't missed any matches chasing personal glory Hasn't let the club down on the eve of the season Hasn't been done for taking drugs! Yes he had a slow start to his Leicester career and went missing in the Finals last year, but everybody is entitled to a duffer now and again, it was just unfortunate it was in the final... that's sport. I'd say he was the model "star" for the Premiership League and like you say... he's a class act. 👍

Organ club... 😂😂😂😂

Watching him for the last 2 and a half seasons week in week out... this is not the case!

If Mr Tolley has any hopes of running Speedway again, I'd say yes.

Has there been another covid outbreak in Manchester 😷... it's that why they're running behind closed doors?

Be aware, depending on how/who you subscribe through, you may have to give 30 days notice of cancellation, so you may have to cancel the day after you subscribe 🙃

It's certainly a more competitive league than the PL this year

You often see F1 drivers mixing, especially on the drivers parade truck

I'm not really sure what Sheffield expected to get tonight turning up without Jack Holder 🤷‍♂️

I tell you what, they're certainly coming on strong though, there's no doubt about that.

... and the Leicester crowd goes wild 😴

He's elected to give his club match a miss in favour of a safety net qualification for the GP.

Bravo TNT... Welcome to Leicester, let's talk about the GP's at the end of the week!

Absolutely, I can't understand why every rider doesn't wear a neck brace unless they don't work, in which case why do a lot of riders wear them. Jason Doyle is wearing an inflatable vest this season, understandable... but Bomber now doesn't wear them. Personally I'd make both compulsory much like air fences.

It's strange that some protective kit is compulsory (Helmet, body armour) but others are optional (neck brace, inflatable vest).

Reports suggest injuries to his neck though, which I assume occurred when he hit the track. Who knows 🤷‍♂️

Tim Brennan?

Didn't look to bad did it... collarbone at worst you'd have said normally. Don't know if one of those neck brace things that some riders wear would have made a difference, I'm not sure what they're supposed to do if I'm honest.

That may have been the case but I was replying to the general point 👆 "Too many serious injuries in Poland"

Big money, desperate riders...

Who haven't we tried from Berwick yet? Danyon Hume?

I've seen the flash of a photographers camera send riders into the tapes a few times down the years. It may be worthwhile for riders to maybe look at the tapes in front of them at the start of crucial races instead of the mechanism at the sides, I think I've seen Leon Madsen do this on occasion in some GP's... especially when the tapes aren't going up evenly. Maybe one for the team managers to relay to a rider. SCB Regs say there must be a "Bowser", I suppose it depends on the definition of what a "Bowser" is. It sounds very much though that Birmingham's equipment is inadequate. 05.1.8 Track Preparation Equipment As detailed on the Homologation Certificate, must be available in working order. Vehicles must be fitted with rotating flashing hazard warning lights. The minimum equipment required is as follows: •2 Tractors •1 Grader •1 Harrow or Wheel •1 Blade •1 Water Bowser There must be a quantity of dry shale and/or sawdust and means of getting it onto the track.

Because he's received an education lol... They used to call the "ex public school boy" "The Scholar" at Bradford 👨‍🎓 I'd never noticed this before but now I do... so thanks for that 😂

What! Absolutely the correct decision 🙃 Why F1 aren't taking a lead out of Speedway's book I don't know, running their events behind closed doors!

Like Kurtz for Belle Vue at Birmingham? 🤔
