Cook's away average will be 0 0 0 3 or 1 1 1 3 depending on which Kildemand turns up.

On Cook's FB page it's full of his supporters telling him how well he's done, I could hardly believe it. Obviously his followers are gonna be fans, but does it do him any good telling him he did well with 3 last places?

I'd think it's be more motivating to say "you did your best, I'm sure you'll do better next time & well done on winning heat 14"?

Fricke, Bewley, Kurtz and J.Holder should all average around 11 this season. Then a wide gap down to 8.

Well i may sound like a broken record but come on Leicester stadium owner or promotor PLEASE sort the lighting out now beyond a joke.

Stand on second bend out of pits or third bend start line is so dark. You have a rig over the start line puts some lights on surely, power runs through there to the starting clock. Cannot believe this is never raised by match referees poor....Before i get negative comments I've supported the sport for years and been around many stadiums both uk and eurpoe this has to be the worst stadium for lighting. Probably just waiting for the summer nights to land...:(

The lighting at Blackbird Road was better... and the previous non LED lighting was better! It's especially difficult to see during twilight also... but apart from buggering the track up worth a blank canvas and having inadequate lighting and team... everything else okay 👍🏻

Everyone take a torch or the old Tilley lamp.

I agree, but we’re just the paying public so if you don’t like don’t come along simple…..🤦‍♂️

I think despite what fans say he will be his own biggest critic.

Concussion protocol - but only enforceable for UK racing

Absolutely bonkers ruling. 
If not enforced anywhere else then it’s a joke to be enforced here.

should be enforced worldwide.

Concussion/bang on the head can be difficult to assess though - I had a wallop on the head and was dizzy/headache for a time and was withdrawn but then felt better and got reinstated for my last ride, with no issues.

It is now. Its the licencing body's responsibility to inform the riders licencing body of a head injury. Even the PZM have agreed to this as was explained at this seasons training day at Rugby.
