Won't happen. Too far gone to be saved... No wider vision at all from those who run it.. They will, literally, pay millions collectively to riders who put hardly one extra bum cheek on a seat... Yet, Jack "Barry White" to a professional marketing company who could give these riders some profile, notice and resonance.. Imagine Barry Hearn with Dan Bewley? He would have him all over the place... Well meaning amateurs pretending they are professionals.. They have zero skill set for what they do...

I am sure those in charge, will "learn" from this evening... And everyone will be contented with that. It's the modern way... Be "Barry White" but it's OK, as long as you have done your best.. . "I am super enthused to get it right next time"..

"Go fetch tha bowser will ooooo, bach..."

Poland's meetings have jeopardy and consequence... Neither is applicable in the UK... Hence, they pay the big bucks, expecting riders to go that extra few yards.. Four riders can often contest a first turn, and even a full race.. Not something so usual, (outside of the play offs), over here...

I'd be there every week.... You can see why the Polish teams worry don't you?

Fred Karno in charge.... Speedway is lucky to have him...

All good to go Friday afternoon.. A quick fitness test, and signed on back as ready to race...

They live off the crumbs falling from Poland's table... But, to be fair, they know it...

And you would think that his efforts for them this yea,r would get him a second string position next... When the big money gets dished out...

Spot on... Don't blame the player, blame the game... Riders actually deliberately lose races to keep their averages down... What a farce.

These lads know that they are doing the UK promoters the favour by starting the season with them... And also know that they are bomb proof regardless of performance levels as there isn't anyone willing to come over and replace them.. As. If they were available they would already be here.. A nice little earner without any pressure to deliver the goods, unlike their other job... "It's much more fun and less pressured".... Indeed...

No worries.... Those Polish doctors are magnificent.... They get the riders fit time and time again, when the UK ones can't...

Didn't get that at Cardiff.....

He truly "flies in" to a bend, cutting the apex, and can still keep the bike moving forwards, rather than locking it up, and getting "under passed"... Not seen too many able to do that to that level down the years... Also, I don't understand why some fans of Speedway complain about his domination... If he was a "gate and go" winner then I could maybe understand it, but he is far from that, and delivers some truly stand out moments almost every meeting he is in... For me, a unique talent that the sport has never seen the like of before...

Not watched it all... But drone cam not great as it misses too many "close encounters"... And, still, too many close ups of the rider in front when racing is taking place behind...

100%, cost me less than two hundred quid for me and my lad for two nights in a Travelodge five miles out of Cardiff the night Dan won... Unfortunately, too many hoteliers took the piss and didn't help the future of the Cardiff GP..

Spot on... Never ever, watched a rider so "full on" in every single race... Regardless of position... He is, you could argue, borderline "reckless" at times, but that is due, I would think, to his inherent belief in himself to emerge out of very dicey situations, in front... Truly magnificent to watch if you are a proper Speedway fan..

Not even Tony "Effing" Hadley... Much rather a chance to visit the same city year in, year out to sit in the same bar, year in, year out, and watch some crap Speedway whilst shelling out a kings ransom for somewhere to kip... Manchester needs to get its "sh*t" together and start trebling the hotel prices on GP weekends...

Unless of course Poole had a GP.... Only on a Wednesday night though... Because, as we know, no one in Poole comes out on any other night...

Because it is 2025... They do it so you cannot screenshot a ticket and jib in... The reason the Champ League final and other major events, take so long to get in... That, and the ticketless scousers trying to get in for nothing by using screenshots... Not their fault though, never is...

How very dare you.... When I attend UK Speedway I am one of the youngest there...

Don't ask them to perform though....

Blindfold him, with a hession sack covering his helmet? With a buxom wench dressed as a milk maid shouting "Left! Left! Left!", as he hits the corner... Like on "It's a Knockout"... Probably won't allow Stuart Hall to commentate though...

Spot on... It's not BZ's responsibility to give UK Speedway some profile... We had Woffy for over a decade being ultra succesful and the mainstream media still didn't give a toss.. The same when Havvy and Loram won... BZ sells the sport in Poland, which is why he earns several hundred thousand in sponsorship deals with major companies... Enjoy watching a true genius on a Speedway bike...

Just like Ivan was... And Briggo... And Ole... All had great manufacturer's sponsorship... And PC with Weslake.... Several times have watched these riders come out on borrowed machinery... The bike had never had gone so fast.... BZ is a generational talent and all time great...
