FIM /BSI event. What did you expext, seriously????

I agree to a point but the last couple World Cup meetings we haven't had this kind of hot weather to deal with in the past. Keeping control of the dust will be hard work.

I'm under the impression JC is extremely busy with his own business venture but is doing bits & pieces in the background still. He's still registered as a co-promoter. He does have an account on this forum and does read so he may reply regarding his position at some point.

Like yesterday I expect the track not to be up to Buster's usual standard with the race format restrictions. It's gonna be a complete dust bowl tonight I would expect so passing could be at a minimum Let just hope it doesn't hamper the superslow gating Brits. Still ccan't wait though & hopefully the atmosphere will be electric COME ON TEAMGB!!!!!!!!

That had to be one of the worst World Cup meetings I've seen in a while.

Nope, you're right because the coverage is exactly the same & I mean exactly. Sky showed so much commitment to Speedway they didn't even show 1 of the Play-Off semi finals last season. Sky put quite a few of their GP's on the red button which many thousand's couldn't view. Sky was in no way better or worse. Schedule's are what they are & with Speedway being a minority / specialist sport we have to accept everything we can get. We have no right to demands right now.

I think we'll be sticking with what we've got and just hope they all come good just in time

Peter Johns & Gary Havelock Tweeted that Kelv talked crap & lives in the past regarding those comments though. But, I'm not sure a modern day engine tuner is likely to agree with Kelv is he as that would be a sure fire way to destroy ya own business.

Middlo also said on Twitter that "hos hands are tied for King's Lynn Monday".

The only safest option I can think of is for cc to be reduced to 400cc. Riders & tuners are constantly testing for more raw speed. Time on the track ain't really any quicker but power output of the machines is. The 1000>6000rpm difference from an old motor (1990) is around 0.4 of a second faster (May not seem a great deal but that is massive). The torque is down though. The 1990 motors ran about 60bhp at 7000rpm but now it's around 10000rpm which means riders having to twist the throttle further south giving the impression on more speed but in fact they getting less & less throttle control and if the bike snaps the only option is pretty much 'get off the bike as soon as possible'. There isn't any more accidents than in previous seasons but there IS more for the higher profile & professional riders than before as they constantly keep looking for that 'raw speed'.

From my understanding, Swindon's team will only become illegal as of the 13th July. That is if Kennett turns out for Berwick and isn't replaced by Ashworth. Swindon's new 1-7 becomes effective from Monday at Belle Vue unless that becomes abandoned for what ever reason then the original side is still affective. So, no reason for any panic yet

Weds 7th Aug v Belle Vue Stars will be without Iversen & Lebedevs Aces will be without Wolbert & Drymal Call it off now Buster

Anyone know what happened to Iversen tonight. 2+1 from 3 is a very unusual score. Crash, just a bad night, ill??? He's been missing off Twitter too. Very strange

When push comes to shove Kennett can't mix it. Major bottler. TeamGB is all about passion & hunger & that's something Bridger, Barker & Worrall have in abundance. Any of those 3 should be ahead of both Kennett & King who's similar to Kennett.

Maybe, just maybe the BSPA took sympathy with Hans & the 2 home meeting ban is punishment to the Swindon promotion & not the rider??? Would make more sense. If Hans was to be banned it would have been the standard 20 odd days. It would also explain the deafening silence from the Swindon promotion. Just a thought!!!!!

I'm not having that Phil. The place would have been rocking regardless of who had the GB flag on their chest. You could throw Kelvin Tatum out there as Wildcard and the place would still be jumping.

Kind of agree but Middlo (the prat) had already stated that him and Woffy guaranteed their places

Even if averages have dropped enough to allow for equivalent points to Darcy's average I think you're still only allowed 2 riders from last season's top 20. That would mean dropping Iversen or Schlein

Well, after tonight's showing I think Worrall & Kennett will be / should be ruled out. Sticking by my team of:- 1, Harris 2, Woffinden 3, Cook 4, Bridger

That's the 2013 season finished

But as seen on Twitterland very often, promoter & managers constantly critisise us all as know nothings for having opinions

compared to Gomolski, Gathercole is a 10 point swing in Swindon's favour

The very rubbishe Gomolski is now missing the home and away meetings through "injury" & replaced by the inform Gathercole. Need I go on!!!

Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase take us back to the Premier League Buster. The shenanigans of Poole & now Swindon have joined the party. Elite League is killing me!!!!!!

Either way, on current form both are showing that they maybe deserve a shot. I still wouldn't pick Worrall but they're certainly making it difficult for Middlo to ignore
