More big crashes

[Neila]

After Freddie's crash this weekend, it appears that we now have a lot more crashes than normal, some very big 😲. What is the cause of these, have seen mentioned that the tyres are unpredictable 😲 will the powers that be, FIM, here and Poland etc do anything about it ?

There are many reasons but for me, it's the constant search for speed, more speed, even greater speed than the last.

Speedway globally should go for an engine reset & go down the standardised 'sealed units' route. Get rid of expensive 3rd party parts tuners.

I agree, a point I have made many times.

To be fair Freddie’s crash wasn’t caused by speed or the track or the tyres , rew moved out and Freddie didnt shut off and ran out of room and hit the fence by the start gate, not sure if Freddie thought he would bounce off the kick board as seems to be the norm these days or he misjudged how close he was to the kick board, he was excluded as the cause of the crash, anyway speedy recovery Freddie

As I’ve pointed out on numerous occasions for god knows how many years with evidence of it, bikes today are in relative speed no faster than they were 40 years ago, what is considerably faster is the speed of the back wheel to the speed of the bike, when the bike is doing 50-60mph the back wheel is doing 80-100mph, hence the back tyres wear out in 5mins and the front tyre will last a season, it has been a problem for years but nobody especially riders and tuners want it addressed
