Belle Vue v Sheffield KOC March 30th 7.30pm

Its not just one meeting though is it? What did he average for Poole from reserve last year, wasn't it under 4?

As for crescent girl saying someone has lost their mind, dear oh dear. You lost your mind a long time ago mr barrie. 
 

its time the rising star program was removed from the top tier , it does more harm than good for young riders.

Agreed I can't think of to many sports where you start in division three and end up in division one at the same time your in division 2 granted the odd special talent can make the leap but 90% of the time it does more harm than good and loads of potential top league future third heatleaders and second strings are lost to the sport.

Think most long term fans could name a dozen” superstars “at 16 over the years who just never hit the heights.Thats speedway.

I do think nowadays riders don’t really go through the hard yards like they use to,the fact is for everyone that really makes it (top 5 in world) there are a couple of hundred that fail, there are some really exceptional talents in speedway who were always going to make it like zmarzlik and bewley and then there are others like gollob and Pedersen who went that extra mile to make it but on the whole 99% just forge a league career which is no bad thing but my original point to this is you have to ride the struggle and get through it because it will come when you’re up against it and nothing goes right and the world is to blame and that experience will help you get through it,speedway is a mind game, the head on your shoulders is as important as the head on your engine, I’ve watched both Rushen and Cairns and indeed bickley, they all have the talent,Rushen seems the most natural on a bike but all 3 seemed from the outside looking in to have had the their career so far on the crest of a wave but the moment you take that to the serious stuff and three others want your peice of track it’s a whole new world and unless you are headstrong it’s a harsh one, good luck to both Cairns and Rushen and hope bickley makes a comeback too

The reality from Will on the Belle Vue socials.

Cairns said: “I’m really looking forward to the season. Obviously I’m still only 16 so I’ve got lots of learning to do, and lots of experience to gain.

“It would be nice to try and beat the other Rising Stars, but I know I’ve definitely got my work cut out there.

“I think this year is all about learning and trying to find my feet. I would like to improve my average, but only time will tell!”

What BSF hear. 

Obviously I’m the new great white hope for UK speedway and I’m looking forward to rinsing the other RS’s and tbh some second strings as well. I’m probably the best hope for the future of UK speedway and can see myself emulating Tai with at least 3 world titles. I just hope that if it does take time to find my feet the fans will offer encouragement rather than getting on my back after one race.

It's odd to be hammering a young lad one meeting into the season IMO but there we are.

I'd far rather see our own youngsters at reserve than foreign tripe and at Lynn the most exciting element of this year's team is Scott and Rushen for me, can't wait to see them develop. 

You are right about the hype bit but thats not the riders fault as far as I can see, I'm sure he'd rather be left alone to develop at his own pace. It's us as fans who hype them up because very good ones seldom come around and we get all excited when it looks like one or two hit the scene.

Being on the front cover and a two page spread inside without turning a wheel in the 2nd division doesn't help. Todays young riders love the social media and why not? but if they talk the talk, then they have to do the walk or just like on here they will get criticised. In fairness to Will Cairns, I saw him do an interview on a local TV broadcast on press day and he seemed to have his feet firmly on the ground. 

Good luck to all the young riders. I think Jody Scott and Luck Harris go about it the right way. Both have improved without the big hype. The parents of some of these young riders can stop the hype by cutting back on the articles and big interviews, but they seem to enjoy the publicity as much as their boys.

Rubbish.

Well I was hoping someone would post a reasonable report of the action of the meeting, rather than 3 pages of Cairns chat but hey ho.
Will be at Owlerton for an inevitable Aces humiliation on Thursday.

Is there a video of heat 1 crash involving Blodorn and Holder? Seen conflicting views some say it was dirty riding others saying not.
