Yeah, Vuolas H14 win potentially messes up his own team. See how the season turns out if that is the case.

Oh well done Redcar btw, good meeting. Not sure about us choosing 2+4 though when you need a 5-1 in last heat though 🤷‍♀️

Talk in the pits was he wanted some beer money. How did Poole lose against that Redcar team? 😂

Thoroughly enjoyed that meeting, most in a long while. 

Not just because we finally beat Poole - some great racing from both sides, close meeting and a great atmosphere. 

Wright and King were as you would expect Edwards ride in heat 5 I think it was worth the admission alone i thought. Vuolas with a great heat 14 but obviously not the same return as you would get from Riss. Pijper was excellent and battled hard for his points and Scott was always there or thereabouts. 

Poor start to the meeting from Lawson which is unusual, Kerr looked good until his EF which was pretty crucial on the night. Starke was decent and Cairns was never off the pace but was on the end of a couple of hard first bends. 

Not sure how it came across on BSN but good advert for the sport I felt.

Well done to Redcar. Kerr’s ef cost us massively in the end. 

Lawson got it together but Pijper beating him was ridiculous to be honest. Thought Thomsen gave his all as did Cook. Only 6 points from Rowe’s rides.

Redcar had Pijper in possibly his best ever meeting this season. Some good racing tonight but the gates were very favourable to gate 2.

Only 6 points from Riss's rides

I know Cairns is only sixteen and very inexperienced but I expected him to score better than he has done so far in the Championship. 

Hear we go let's slag the youngster, he's on a 2.00 average and he's more than doing that, have a look at his scores at home 8+1, 6+2, 6+3

Given the Bears guests contributed only 7 points it’s very surprising that the Bears won. Couple of uncharacteristic rides from Lawson early on and an ef for a Kerr obviously crucial factors but we deserve a bit of luck going our way for a change.

Well done to Ace, more of that please.

Loss of Riss will more than likely scupper Bears season still but nice to beat Poole for once. Decent  enough meeting with a few good races and came across well on BSN.

His interview on BSN spoke volumes. He seems a little shell shocked that he isn’t scoring better. Perhaps he thought every meeting would be like his Pirates debut. 
 

A lot of hype around him…in one sense justified…in others it’s still very early days. Time will tell. 
 

For what it’s worth, there’s another young man who I believe is a better prospect. Likes the colours orange and black and also tassels! 😉 

 

At least the future of British speedway looks very bright with the two of them doing their thing.

Doing that at Poole not easy either when Poole track is different most weeks. Again, people just going with the media hype. Be better if he was left alone a bit like Luke Harrison is.

I thought it was the best meeting that BSN have shown so far this year. Great racing. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Nope, absolutely not slagging him off at all, just expected him to be scoring a few more away from home. Maybe my expectations were too high.

Nope, going by what I saw with my own eyes earlier in the season. I'm certainly not digging him out as he'll probably end up with a medal this year and has loads of time on his side but I expected a little more.
