    Eurosport 2020

    Anyone know if the 2020 TV deal with Eurosport is for domestic speedway only or if it includes GPs, SON and other FIM events?

    And he used to have a record shop.

    Will British Speedway Survive ?

    Most riders already have their vans by this time of the year and the lease contracts signed.

    Branson only owns 49% of Virgin Atlantic. The rest is owned by Air France KLM and Delta Airlines

    Belle Vue will be running in 2017 so not all bad news.

    What Changes Have To Be Made In 2017?

    I still find it a bit odd how the formats of the world championships and the leagues turned on their heads. World championship - one off final to a season long campaign of total points. Leagues - season long campaign of total points to a one off final. So which one wasn't working out?

    Nigel & Kelvin

    i did have to s n I g g e r at the conversation during the World Cup last weekend: Nige: "...but here we are talking about the referee holding the tapes too long when really we should be talking about the riders." Kelv: "Well let's do that then!" It's not as funny written down...

    What Changes Have To Be Made In 2017?

    Bring back 13 heats, happiness is 40-38, monkey masks, world finals, sticking plasters for grips, jumpers for goalposts, chips for 20p and 'two-wheeling' slow racing on deep tracks because that wor 'proper speedway'.
  11. Is it any wonder Poland have won so many golds? Although they have now won in Denmark and UK as well.

    Should Greg Hancock Ride For Usa?

    They may or may not have had a suit made for him (it looked new to be fair) but I do know he didn't leave US until earliest Wednesday, possibly Thursday which would suggest to me it was a last minute decision to include him.

    Should Greg Hancock Ride For Usa?

    Becker was already in the first round as reserve so had his suit made. Broc has been wearing last year's WC suit (or the same design) all season in the states.
  14. Let's go with 4 then. Two pairings and a reserve
  15. I've often thought the World Cup is an odd format with it being a team event and yet the riders ride as individuals. I'd like to see riders paired together, more tactics come into play, especially if you have a 4,3,2,0 scoring system. 4 man teams and a reserve or 6 man teams could work.

    Speedway's Twisted Mentality...

    The upright rackets were so much safer than the laydown rackets and it was all about ball control instead of these flat out racket ships which are too fast for the size of the courts.
  17. Had he not had a rider virtually stop in front of him, he would have exited the corner no problem. Laguta's lock up was very similar to Gundersen's at Bradford and on a similar track where locking up is not the norm. Had the same incident happened at Arena Essex, I think there would have been a case to exclude Fricke.

    Should Tai Woffinden Ride For Team Gb ?

    Don't add to it for christ's sake.
  19. What an utterly drab meeting. Speedway isn't like it used to be in the good old days like the WTC final in Pardubice, 1990

    Should Greg Hancock Ride For Usa?

    I don't know much about Becker other than he's highly rated and I've seen a video of him winning a scratch main recently. Nicol though has a lot of talent and is on a par with Janniro, if not better already. They might not be up with the Doyles and Sayfutdinovs but they certainly won't be getting lapped.
  21. If they complete 12 heats then it'll be a result. Anything less than 12 heats and it has to be restaged.
  22. According to the wording on GP/SWC site, USA have "stood Hancock down" as opposed to Hancock having stood USA up.

    Really? You think they'll be lapped? They'll all be on the pace.All this aggro about Greg, I think there'll be more stories unfold in the coming days regarding Aggregate
