I don’t know what his Swedish league situation is but I wonder if Hans Andersen is a possibility?

1 - Warsaw 2 - Torun 3 - Katowice 4 - Stockholm 5 - Copenhagen 6 - Togliatti 7 - Cardiff 8 - Prague 9 - Riga 10 - Munich 11 - Los Angeles 12 - Sydney 13 - Auckland 14 - Dubai

Seem to remember when it was announced Belle Vue would hold the SWC in 2016, that there was a deal in place for it to be there in 2016, 2018 and 2020. May be wrong?

assume all other venues' contracts expire at end of 2017?

1. Chris Harris 9.21 2. Rory Schlein 7.17 3. Dave Watt 7.56 4. Troy Batchelor 7.36 5. Kenneth Bjerre 8.22 6. Nikolai Klindt 5.42 7. Josh Bates 5.02 Throw in Adam Ellis if he ends up on his 4.67 average. This cost cutting exercise the BSPA continue to embark on is going to cost them a fortune as riders like Batchelor and Klindt on low averages, will be able to demand what they want!

I seem to remember Assen being announced for 5-6 March 2016, during this years event? Has it been put back a week to the 12-13?

There are very different reasons for venues. Clearly Torun has (nearly) everything; great racetrack and good atmosphere. But for size, Cardiff will always better it (a one-off world final should attract vast numbers). Looks like Warsaw would be a potential venue too now. But, as I said, for very different reasons different venues will offer something. You could easily have one-off's at Copenhagen, Stockholm, Gorzow, Mallila, Bydgoszcz. Just depends if you want a good track or a good stadium!

What's more likely? Wells and Howarth or Cook and Morris?

Torun or Cardiff 1. Tai Woffinden 2. Greg Hancock 3. Chris Holder 4. Darcy Ward 5. Niels Iversen 6. Nicki Pedersen 7. Jaroslaw Hampel 8. Krzysztof Kasprzak 9. Emil Sayfutdinov 10. Grigory Laguta 11. Andreas Jonsson 12. Fredrik Lindgren 13. Matej Zagar 14. Martin Vaculik 15. Peter Kildemand 16. Kenneth Bjerre - 17. Troy Batchelor 18. Jason Doyle

Does anyone have a link for riders averages in Sweden and Poland? In particular the Elitserien and Extraliga.

2012 Series 1. G. Hancock 2. J. Hampel 3. J. Crump 4. A. Jonsson 5. E. Sayfutdinov 6. T. Gollob 7. C. Holder 8. K. Bjerre 9. N. Pedersen 10. F. Lindgren 11. A. Lindback 12. B. Pedersen 13. P. Protasiewicz 14. C. Harris 15. D. Ward Personally, I don't see the BSI taking very long finalising the 2012 line-up.

Chris Holder, Darcy Ward, Troy Batchelor, Fredrik Lindgren, Tomas Jonasson, Antonio Lindback, Jaroslaw Hampel, Przemyslaw Pawlicki, Maciej Janowski, Piotor Pawlicki, Janusz Kolodziej, Kenneth Bjerre, Tai Woffinden, Emil Sayfutdinov, Jurica Pavlic

To anyone who didnt go Steve Shovlar's explanation of "some very good racing in a fairly deep track with plenty of dirt of down" is Poole speak for 'not much passing and slick as a Tarmac road!' for a meeting with so many racers; Nicholls, Harris, Kennett, ward, holder, etc you would expect more overtaking! But with a decent race track..

01. Nicki Pedersen 02. Jason Crump 03. Emil Sayfutdinov 04. Tomasz Gollob 05. Andreas Jonsson 06. Chris Holder 07. Greg Hancock 08. Kenneth Bjerre 09. Fredrik Lindgren 10. Hans Andersen 11. Jaroslaw Hampel 12. Chris Harris 13. Rune Holta 14. Tai Woffinden 15. Magnus Zetterstrom

Would need some tweaking, but an awesome idea! Get a letter to BSI as soon as possible! .. They prbs wouldnt read it though, would they?!
