I'm a comets fan, I was stood on the back straight Flint definitely got 2nd and it was by a bigger margin than 1 thousand of a second as well

Good point, noticed Villads still listed as 5.00 in last nights programme, not sure how many meetings he needs to get a proper average but if we could go down the airport burger route and keep him as a 5.00 for 2026 that would be smashing.

He only needs one more meeting, although I can't remember if KO Cup counts.

In your opinion, which will probably be shared by others, but the technology dragging the sport kicking and screaming into the 21st century says otherwise.

21st Century would be a high speed camera that gives visual evidence that no one can reasonably dispute. The transponders are only as good as the placement on the bike and even then rely on the wheels being in line, which is hilarious given how you ride a speedway bike.

We have more reliable and transparent technology at club level athletics meets, which have even less money in them than speedway!

Villads gets his average next Saturday v Oxford, KO cup doesn't count

All transponders are now on the same place on the bikes they have pocket inside the front cover

So where is the transponder reader situated? As first part across the line is your front tyre.

It’s about 50cm behind the start line so works when the front tyre just crosses the line

Think Nagel needs 6 matches for an CMA, 3 home.3 away.
