Brennan was miles at the back so awarding is fair imo. Odd that the TNT commentary team haven’t worked that out.

Yes very odd how 3 ex riders in Tatum Nicholls and Allen find it strange but Joe Bloggs on a speedway forum doesn’t 

Its because there was a lot of the race still to go and a mistake or engine failure could happen 

Never seen a race awarded that early

Ambulance for Ellis....:unsure: 

Best Wishes to him, hope just precautionary...

IRR I presume now? 

Who can take rides if so? 

 

Just the reserves

Totally the right call to award that heat. Brennan was way back and not in contention. Why give him a second opportunity? I am completely neutral and don’t give a damn who wins. 
 

Ellis was the most exciting rider so far. Really gave it a go. Did well for Poole last night as well. Get well soon Adam.

No....

It was because Brennan was "miles back" with a very very small percentage chance of catching them up...

However...

Starting the race again and his percentage chance of actually winning increases massively...

A good, sensible call....

The option is there - although I think it was more to cover the 'professional foul' rather than a genuine fall

Not going to be a hypocrite because I want Ipswich to win but I honestly don't know why they're making such a big deal out of the race being awarded.

1 Million percent the correct decision, Brennan was miles behind and you could've had another 6 laps and Tom wouldn't have got close to the Lions pair.

Not a good call, anything could have happened in a re run including, engine failure, puncture etc commentary team spot on

Totally agree.  Problem is Tatum is like a dog with a bone when there's a decision he doesn't agree with.

What did he deserve another chance though?

He was miles behind when the race stopped...

If the race had carried on he would have been stone last....
