szkocjasid Posted yesterday at 08:56 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 08:56 AM (edited) 15 hours ago, Col said: 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"?

Hamish McRaker Posted yesterday at 09:24 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 09:24 AM Fricke, Bewley, Kurtz and J.Holder should all average around 11 this season. Then a wide gap down to 8. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cross Roads Posted yesterday at 02:47 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:47 PM 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...:( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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on the head can be difficult to assess though - I had a wallop on the head and was dizzy/headache for a time and was withdrawn but then felt better and got reinstated for my last ride, with no issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

So that would mean either the UK didn't make the necessary submission, the Gernan Federation has ignored it or Blordorn made the choice not to ride in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you had no issues after, but surely our rules are correct really just to be safe, you see so many sports people from all sports suffer long term with concussion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
