Strange choice then.

Very LITTLE choice to be fair. It was Chris Louis’ own words when dropping Mountain from the Witches team a few years ago. His away form was fine, he just couldn’t get to get grips with Foxhall and it was that reason he was dropped. Perhaps they just think he can’t do a lot worse than what Hume amd Lambert have produced? May as well give him a go. He’s getting a couple of meetings as well so let’s see what he can do. Hopefully he does reasonably well.

Comfortable Ipswich win.

Chris Holder isn't the same rider this season and Anders Rowe is now starting to struggle at No.2.

Agree about Holder, we needed him to maintain last years form once Tai got injured but he isn't the same rider this season

Rowe withdrawn injured from poole meeting tonight didn't come out for his 4th ride ? bit of a mystery why he didn't come out to ride  ?

The comment on Live Updates said that he was being looked at by the medics ... posted in the Poole/Redcar thread that it was a groin injury, he's been signed off, and is not riding for Sheffield tonight ...

Will take that result 

Masters 8 from 4 and Mountain only 1 point ….. we know Doyle and Dan would have got much more 

I love seeing Pickering ride but I think he was the wrong choice for 15 and the superheat 

Great meeting

That masters score isn’t really a true reflection. He dominated pretty much every race he was in and showed classed, he was miles ahead in races and only lost out in one due to mechanical failure. He was riding just as good as Doyle and I for one would love to see him back.

Pickering was riding really well before heat 15 so deffo the right choice up to that point and even then brought a hell of a race to Emil.

Tonight was a showcase for speedway fans, great atmosphere, even better races with lots of moves on a warm summers evening. TNT should have been in town for that one.

I’d also like to say thank you to Sheffield for bringing their A game and taking it to us making it such an exciting meeting!

No way did I see that coming.

Like many after two poor performance away to Leicester, to go to Ipswich and to take them so close and a Super Heat for bonus point, I don't think  we can complain.

Even with missing riders Ipswich for a team like Sheffield who don't  particularly like or ride the track well I fully expected us getting a thrashing.

Another fine performance from Leon Flint from reserve he has to be arguably on present form the top rising star rider this season.

I thought that Flint was excellent tonight.

He had the beating of Jenkins and Mountain every time often passing them for the points.

Not been on BSF for quite a bit but have to say there was some really good racing from the off last night at Foxhall.  The Sheffield lads looked a lot more on it after a couple of below par performances and unlucky to come away with no league or bonus points
