Just a side note... the commentator on BSN last night stated that Bomber wouldn't have been able to be selected for a Super Heat if he'd taken 7 rides. It didn't sound right, I've checked the rules and the maximum 7 rides per rider applies to the 15 heats only.

Has the qualification criteria been set... or will you know who do you know what again? Next Lions KO Cup match is at the start of June

Cook can't seem to catch a break in the UK at the moment (though maybe his wrist) Your boys were caught out by the track early on, not sure why it was prepared like that, if it was for Bomber, again I'm not sure why as he was riding it as good at the end of the meeting as he was at the start.

Dan Gilkes imo, I hope he proves me wrong but I've not really seen anything from Sam Hagon, besides his U21 win, for me to rate him. He's got the name but the Hagon name is more famous for Speedway sponsorship than it is for Speedway pedigree, although Martin was quite decent on the Grass and Long tracks I believe.

It says here that his new Polish club were paying him around £160,000... add that to his previous Ekstraliga earnings, Sweden, GB, GP, Monster Energy, etc. And you can easily see that totting up to millions over the years. https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/1181570/zuzel-stal-rzeszow-podjela-wazna-decyzje-w-sprawie-taia-woffindena

Good win for Lynn, can't help but think they'll be buggered when Bomber moves up from reserve, can't see many of the others banging in the kind of performances that Bomber does around Lynn.

Weak refereeing from Christina Pitbull... interval should be after heat 11 and there's a maximum time written in the rules between races. "Except when the Referee considers that there are valid reasons for delaying the start of an ensuing heat, the interval between the finish of one heat and the start of the next shall not exceed 4 minutes including the 2 minute allowance" I wonder what the reason was that the ref considered valid?

Does British Speedway still have a track inspector? Nice to see the return of the drop handlebar... they were all the rage in the 90's

Looks like the track is prepared for 1 rider, great stuff from Bomber

It did look like Lawson coming by him frit him up a bit

The daft thing is he's made 2 starts tonight and if he'd just ridden the line he'd probably be unbeaten. It's like he's trying to be Chris Harris and there ain't many of them about.

What on earth Ashton Boughen is up to is anybody's guess!

Agreed, but... he's been undercooked (pun intended) so far by any standards. Maybe you wouldn't be expecting him to beat other teams number 1's but he should have the beating of 2 of the other riders in the race (maybe not in 13). His stats don't make for good reading http://www.gbspeedway.com/2025/riderperf.php?mc1=s&mc2=r&mc3=av&mc4=x&rider=Benjamin Cook&league=A&sort=date&comp=All&club=Overall He's not that bad a rider.

Thanks, that's good to know... I use this website for Football and Cricket... it's most useful 👌

£93,000 of unsold tickets... BRILLIANT 👏 👏 👏

He was at the Berwick P&P yesterday which suggests not

KING’S LYNN: Ben Cook, Nicolai Klindt, Jan Kvech, Niels-Kristian Iversen, Richard Lawson, Chris Harris, Ashton Boughen. LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Luke Becker, Ryan Douglas, Kyle Howarth, Sam Masters, Drew Kemp, Sam Hagon.

As 3 of those 4 spent time at reserve you could say they had a team of reserves.

How will this one be called off?

I'm sure we'll find out as the press surely have him a grilling at today's "press" & practice

Craig Cook's replacement spotted at Berwick

Nice to see that Craig Cook is still in the team on Lions website: https://www.leicesterspeedway.com/TeamLions Perhaps he's now "ready to ride Speedway" after definitely turning out at Berwick's P&P day today 😉

It's a shame you came down from sunny Manchester determined not to enjoy yourself! I'll counter your selective lowlights from updates with: Heat 5: Kurtz passed Douglas on Bend 2 Lap 4 Heat 6: Fricke does eventually get up the inside coming off Bend 2 Lap 2 Heat 7: Masters who continued to press hard throughout the race. Kemp went under Cook on Bend 4 Lap 1 Heat 8: Blodorn comes down on the backstraight whilst battling Becker for the lead Heat 11: holds off Masters for 2 laps before the race settled down Heat 12: Lidsey rides a fantastic opening lap to pass Kemp exiting Bend 2 and then Douglas on Bend 4 before clearing off Heat 13: Bewley trying hard to pass Masters and is briefly past him off Bend 4 Lap 1 before Masters gets back into third down the homestraight Heat 15: Aces out in front until Fricke forcefully goes under Kurtz entering Bend 3 Lap 2, creating a gap that he goes through and Becker follows Add this to the tight scoreline, possible come back from the Aces and Fricke putting in a captains ride to win the match with his partner in the last race decider... and I'm not really sure what you want from a Speedway match, I can only conclude it's a win at all costs.

EVERYBODY knows this! And they've been trying to polish that particular turd ever since. You have to wonder whether it would have been more cost effective to dig the track up (like they had to do with the NSS) and start again the amount of times it's been altered since.
