I think that's what's known as laying down a marker...

I didn't think the daft apeths would go for the world record in the quallies.

It's easier. You use the banking to slow you down slightly as you peal up, then use it to your advantage again to speed up to slot in the back. Doesn't work well on the straights.

Did that back in the 80s, but there were a lot of tracks with shallower banking so not as much speed when you drop onto the back. Riders change later into the banking than we used to. I remember being taught to change as soon as the banking started.

Changing on Leicester was a lot easier than a change on Salford Park

Right, Canada look like Italy, Australia look like the Ukraine and the GB team are in a Scottish kit. What's happening with the colours?

Wonky Felts time.

It's all gone a bit left-handed.
