speedy den boy

I see simon Stead is riding in both the premier and elite leagues in 2013,have i missed something with Lewis Bridger?.Is there a reason why he is not riding in the premier?,infact i dont think hes riding antwhere else!!!,that cant be good for him as last season saw big gaps in fixtures in the elite league,he needs to be race fit,so does anyone know why he is not riding more?

THANK YOU

Anyone know what the situation is with riders machines? will they be on borrowed bikes?

Match off track!!,sorry pitch waterlogged!! .i got so used to seeing track waterlogged throughout the season,now its pitch waterlogged!!.no news yet if the football match will be restaged.

can anyone put a little bit on here how sam went? good to see he had a race win..whos bike did he borrow.?I know hes 51 but could he still mix it in any league racing?Thanks in advance.

congrats again to Chris Holder,but does anyone know what perks he gets for being world champion?IF he gets the chance to spread the speedway word on chat shows,opening of varoius buildings,or even represent speedway at globel motorsport shows i think hes the man to do speedway proud,because he doesnt speak like a normal Aussie,he even puts himself down sometimes,thats unheard of in an aussie!!!! and speaks well .So in general hes a breath of fresh air for the sport,but will speedway make the most of him to promote the sport i wonder!!!

As others have said Holder earned it over tthe GP series,100% deserves all the credit coming his way when it didnt start off good in NZ.Seems a very down to earth person when speaking on sky and comes over really well,even putting himself down at times(why cant the Aussie cricket team be like that!!) My final word to Phil is did he watch the interview on sky and does he still stick with all 4 back?Would you Phil admit it was such a bad call if Holder himself says he was lucky? Would you ever change your mind on this?

In all my years in speedway, i thought id seen it all with the way rules are applied, but Phil you have left me gobsmacked in what you are saying,it may well be true but when was this rule last put into motion on the 1st bend.So you should tell nigel pearson be careful with his wording if the rider tangle on the 1st bend,Nigel is going to be calling a lot more unsat starts is he? To me an unsat start is a rider jumping or the tapes not goin up,or riders tangle before the 30 metre line,what you are saying is new to me.Did you speak to Eric Gundersen ,he was fuming and he should know a thing or 2 about the starts.

Phil im sure you havnt got anything against Nikki,same as i havnt against Holder,but please answer my question when Holder decided to cut the corner (not pushed to do so,but what he has done at the same corner all season)is he asking for trouble by jumping the curb ? yes or no

1-Polish refs seem to exclude riders when someone falls on the 1st bend,and i thought the GP big wigs wanted it that way. 2-Come on Phil you know if Holder had backed off he would have been clamped,he took a chance by cutting the curb(i know 2 wheels have to be over the white line)and by cuting the curb he was out of control,simple as that.If he wants to risk doing that he has to be excluded for hitting a rider.Holders front wheel was even on the grass where hey shoved all the water,so how can you defend him when the rider leaves the track by making the move knowing he was trying to gain an advantage.To me its simple,Holders font wheel was not on the track,therefore he hasnt a clue what will happen when he jumps the curb and he is asking for trouble.simple,i cant see how you fail to see that.

Sorry Phil just cant agree this time-heres why. 1-Ryan Sullivan stated at the start of the show that you can run riders hard going into the first bend if you are in red even if you are behind,Chris knew this as its his home track ,he was slightly behind and tried to run the riders hard into the 1st bend which he has done many times this season,but the big differance this time was Nikki wasnt going to be moved,so CHRIS CHOSE TO GO OVER THE KERB IN ORDER TO MAKE THE MOVE,and thats where 100% chris was wrong as he had far to much speed to a JUMPING THE KERV and that alone spinned him out of control.i like chris but this was a terrible decicion,if it was a ref from any other country Chris would have been excluded.YOU CANT BE INVITED BACK INTO THE RERUN WHEN YOU LEAVE THE TRACK,WHICH ROCKETS YOU OUT OF CONTROL INTO ANOTHER RIDER.

100% agree with you,but when it comes from someone who has given sponsorship for years why after he wins the case would he not tell the truth.There might be a bit of bad taste between the two which has led to this coming out,but if Hans does tell his side of things and has facts or he is going to appeal,ill take back what i just said and see what happens.

Exacltly,there is so much rumour and gossip on here that isnt true,but when someone tells us the truth,with an insight to what a rider gets in way of sponsorship and how he acts with it!!! people still get upset!!.As far as i am concerned if its fact and of interest to speedway fans nothing could be better then having true facts from someone like "the know"

Thank you

I know its off topic but who in the Pavlic family is Darija

Looks like Watt has pulled out of getting into the Gps next season,and not going to the final race-off in Croatia.In a way its good for Lakeside as they race on a friday night,but he could also get a wild card into the Gps so its all a bit of a waiting game!!

Congrats TO MJJ but anyone else think when he speaks that hes been around for years and nothing really excites him!!!!!

Ive never been to this track so maybe i was dreaming,but didnt sam Ermolenko have a hand in the design of the track from scratch?What is the problem is it he shape ,or just not being prepared right?.Seems a shame for this to happen when it really should have been a superb racing track.

Thank u

I can see where you are coming from regarding speedway as a family sport but Ice Hockey,F1,Indy car are all labelled family sports but refs let big punch ups in ice hockey,F1 has drivers that square up to each other,it goes one step further in indy car as the commentaters bait the drivers to do something out of the ordinary .Same goes for any english cricket team touring Australia!!!

I think the only reason AJ went for the move on nikki was that he was annoyed with himself with no points from his first ride,and it was looking the same again from his second ride,plus ad that to riding on his own track kinda made up his mind to go for it.Did anyone else see AJ having a look at nikki off the last bend thinking "shall i go for it or not"!!. .Also it lloke like Pedersen was out for a sunday drive the speed he was going so maybe AJ again thought he maybe having bike problems.

Have to say KK doesnt conduct himself too well in public but as you will see from this clip he was in the wrong place at the wrong time,take a look at this clip,i dont think it was kk;s fault and the young fans dad should have known better then to let off foul mouth words in front of the youngster,thats just not on whatever the reason..
