Have to say it looked a very good stadium, however despite what the Chuckle Brothers spouted on about in commentary I was very disappointed in quality of racing, Gracjzonek apart no one was able to pass after first bend. plenty of close racing and does have potential to improve. Amazed at how biased TMs can be if Jack Lee wanted Konopka not to lean into bend (not Bates) he would probably have ended up in Edinburgh straight through fence!!

Garrity was brought in as a replacement for Bellago, who is then entitled to replace Garrity at end of 28 days, IF Sheffield want to bring Bellago back and keep Garrity, that would mean Garrity would have to replace Proctor, and it would depend on his average being less than Proctor's (or total team being under 42.5), so I don't think at this stage we can say it "fits" This is my understanding, but happy to be corrected if wrong

I think this year rule has changed so you can have a guest for either reserve - just to keep guest numbers up !!

On paper I agree - just have plenty of porters available

Why are you trying to look at this with a logical approach ?? The authorities running the sport have already shown that just because a rule exists, and to the vast majority appears very clear and concise, they come up with a different decision and then give no valid explanation, other than hiding behind the "it's in the best interests of the sport" I, and no doubt many others, would be interested to know who exactly are making these decisions, is it the whole MC? Or just a selection, consulted at the time? As all members of MC have a vested interest in what happens to other teams there is a real chance accusations of favouritism, discrimination or, dare I say, corruption could be raised, certainly when there appears to be such high levels of inconsistency with the rulings made.

And Steve Boxall?

and some bad ones !!

There was a lot of publicity last week about Adam Roynon starting his comeback with various practice sessions, but I've not heard anything since, anyone know how he got on?

Who won heat 8 last Sunday??

It was early on in season, but towards end it was approaching best it had been for quite a few years, one can only keep fingers crossed it will be a similar pattern this season --BUT the sooner the better!!

think you meant biased not concise - I stand by my version

Lasse off 1, Richard off 2, Richard gated just ahead, moved to clamp Lasse on first bend, Lasse having non of that - kept going hard into bend and pushed/hit Richard who then went across track and slid (gently) into fence - could possibly have stayed on, but obviously went down to get rerun - To be fair to Lasse he never moved off inside line , but to be fair to Richard - it was a hefty bump - think it came out of Nicki Pedersen 1st bend manoeuvres. All four back - fair decision although have seen inside rider kicked out for similar moves, I think the fact that Richard didn't fall immediately after contact was the key. Once Richard got sorted he went back to pits, jumped off bike and went to confront Lasse who was off bike just outside pit gate, Mechanics/officials intervened and sent Richard away, Lasse just looked him and walked away - only handbag out was from Richard. BUT in rerun Richard gated and was bike and a half clear going into first bend - would suggest Glasgow TM winds him up more often if he wants to get a class gate out of him!!

Interesting - I don't quite share your optimism, but you never know!!

Who do you have down for 11/12/13th places ?

Because Bears have big paws, hellish for opening those little tins !!

Doctors have said 6 months - is medical science another of your hidden talents and therefore you have a different opinion??

Maybe Glasgow should have looked to Lassie Bjerre, Rene Bark & Benji Compton as their guests then

I think Kus showed plenty of commitment last night, so I'm happy he will be "bothered" Sadly based on everything else from last night I can't argue with any other points you make

and for those who don't know our area - that means bloody freezing!! Wrap up well!

Very Best Wishes to Kenneth & family

I was going to highlight Rafa, but then reread DSC67's statement and thought he was probably right anyway!

Probably practising for the fours final If Rafa makes our team for the Fours final we'll be having a top season and the most improved rider

You're right it's about two weeks too early - !yawn! back to bed for a while

Yes you are !!
