In years gone by, races were never re-started with all four riders back.

If BSNs out put “First bench bunching” is not recognised by referees as a reason for ordering a restart with all for riders included. Meanwhile, “unsatisfactory start” is. why? Ask the officials.

Haza Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago Mid May and Top 4 more or less sorted barring injuries or a team pulling a rabbit out the hat of a signing - that’s poor for any sport - makes me wonder the next 3 and half months of league racing going to be like ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same as the first two months . ie. Just go along and watch the racing, without focusing too much on who wins and who doesn't... The beauty of the sport is two poor riders, or teams, can still deliver some great racing.... (If a promoter chooses to prepare a decent track to race on obviously)...

Hopefully that’s what Lynn fans get great racing on a well prepared track and I’m sure the team will pick up more wins as the season progresses . 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago I thought it was quite entertaining to be honest. A slick track can provide good racing, as much as grippy one can be borefest. Harris was just poor, as he was at Foxhall but the other Lynn riders were there or thereabouts & thought they were unlucky with re-runs when in good positions. There was passing on the inside and the outside, so not one line only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see us picking up many aggregate points this season, with our away form unfortunately. Winning most of our home meetings won't get us top 4 on it's own. We are 7 meetings in already, and our next 4 i think are, Sheffield Home, Brum A, Ippo H, Ippo A. This seasons averages, after 7 meetings. Harris (H) 8.67 (A) 4.21 Kvech H 8.00 A 4.76 Klindt H 8.00 A 5.00 Lawson H 6.15 A 6.60 NKI H 6.15 A 5.33 Cook H 2.29 A 4.00. Only 2 home and 2 away meetings for Ben. He's a lot better than that, and I hope he will get going when he's back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
