“It was great to see Ricky get so many points at reserve. He was told to just get out on the track and enjoy his racing and he rode really well as a result.
“It just goes to show the keyboard warriors haven’t got a clue what they’re on about. They always write people off before they have turned a wheel and it is a real bugbear of mine.”

“It wasn’t easy to prepare for last week after so much rain in the previous week, but it came good and served up some great racing.
“It’s fast but it’s also exciting and I don’t think anyone could have any complaints about what they’ve seen here this season.”
Panthers now have three home meetings in succession as they host Ipswich on Monday (July 1), Wolverhampton on July 11 and table-topping Belle Vue on July 15.
