BRITISH U21 FINAL, REDCAR Sunday, June 7, 2026 17:00 Live on BSN

What was Hodder excluded for there, officially? Surely it could have only been for unfair riding?

[Sadman]

Have at last got it working at 1815. As planned to be out so not to much of a problem for me. Oh and did get th same message as others

He doesn’t look well. I can imagine that the loss of his father has had a big effect, especially given he was his carer for a number of years up until Brian’s passing.

[Bandit59]

Did anyone lose the sound near the end?

[Mr Blobby]

Always find it funny watching Pijper complain when someone has hit him. The guys wiped himself and others out the majority of his career. Not much going on between the ears. 
 

Well done cooper on the win. 

[IainB]

Just the 35 minutes to run the last 2 races, including a 20 minute gap between heat 20 and the semi 👏

Mind, the crowd were right royally entertained with a kids race, the riders picking their gates, before the semi only, something the GP series kicked into touch about 20 years ago... and a full rendition of The Final Countdown 👌

Well done to Coops, and (through gritted teeth 😬) Wayne Jarvis for making the correct decision to award the final. 

And for those that weren't counting, the word "tassels" was disappointingly only said the 6 times 😁

Just shows how far the standard of the younger generation has dropped. 
 

i went to the 2003 u21 final at Sheffield which Stead won, Harris was a 9 point number 1 for Trelawny and didnt even make the final.  
 

Lee Richardson in 99 won the world under 21 final in a stellar line up. 
 

You now have second tier reserves on the podium. 
 

what on earth has happened to junior speedway in the uk?

Not a nice way to talk about someone who has had serious health issues.

[Steve Shovlar]

Glad ref Jarvis was strong enough to award the final. The others in the heat certainly didn’t deserve a second chance in the race. Thought the right 4 made up the final. Best two qualified straight through and home advantage saw the Redcar pair through. Think Jody Scott the better of the two Redcar riders.

How is it everytime Ace Pijper is on either BSN or racing against Poole he is throwing a wobbly? Every single time the toys come out of the pram.

Well done Cooper Rushen. 16 years old and already out of the reserve berth at Poole. The next Mark Loram/Michael Lee (with better temperament)
