Who’d have thunk it! Where is Acebelle and Ouch by the way? They seemed to have disappeared.. They will say that they never change their team mid season in their holier than though way, Belle Vue always do it the right way even if it costs them any chance of success.

Getting them to ride over here will bring the thousands of fans back that have deserted the tracks over the past decade or so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one would like to see the Accounts of Gp Clubs,can’t imagine what they would look like. There’s next season’s restructuring to look forward too though.🧑🏼🦯🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One ride/point (0.04) separating Ellis and Thompson in the September green sheets, and it upset the balance of the Ipswich team. Having riders who can adapt to conditions is important. Throttle-jockeys can't win everything 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very lucky to have someone who can still beat No1's at reserve... As I say, a "cheat code" if used correctly when replacing others...

I wasn't criticising him, no one uses that outside line better than Adam, but the track conditions made that very difficult unfortunately...

Whole lot of difference from shutting the throttle off and not attempting to mix it. I didn't watch it, so can't comment on Zmarzlik's actual performance, he could well have gated which he's far from bad at and stuck in his position without trying to overtake any of the riders in front of him. 8 paid 9 from 4 riders is a bad night for a rider who averages 10.87 in that league. 1 hour ago, TTT said: Emil has never been a good gater so he was never going to go well in those conditions, Bewley likewise hence why I'm backing Dan up. Kurtz is a known gater who just couldn't be asked to try, That's the difference between the three. No rider will get on the podium over the course of a GP series if they can't gate, not everyone can be Artem Laguta or Erik Gundersen away from the tapes but every rider in the GP series ever must be capable of making a reasonable consistent starts or they wouldn't be capable of maintaining a spot in the series. 1 hour ago, foreverblue said: They will say that they never change their team mid season in their holier than though way, Belle Vue always do it the right way even if it costs them any chance of success. Mountain dropped for Zischke last year is evidence that is not always the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveWayne Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago 5 hours ago, Steve0 said: You could say it was very poor scheduling to have this leg a few days before the biggest meeting for both Brady and Dan - surely it would have been better to have the first leg of the other semi last night and then we would have seen the best of Brady and Dan - as we usually do! You do realise there are 2 GP riders in the other semi as well ? One who has a very slight mathematical chance of a bronze medal, and the other in a fight for a guaranteed place in the series next year. Why would it have been OK for them to race last night, but not fair for the Belle Vue riders ? Common sense would have been for the semis to start a week later, after the final GP.

oneofclubs Posted 13 minutes ago Report Share Posted 13 minutes ago I do not buy into the opinion that a wet track favours the away side. It didn't favour Ipswich when they blew it in 2023, Leicester when they crumbled in last years first leg or the reigning champs last night. BV simply have not been good enough and that is the truth of the matter. We will try again next year, and get behind "throttle jockey" Brady (i find that modern term very insulting to the "throttle jockeys" that have won world titles) in his quest to win the title.
