    FIM rules

    Having ploughed through the GP regulations on the FIM website that finally finished loading!!!! ,maybe i missed a few things,but just wondered if someone can clarify certain things. Things like fuel are free but are the tyres free and is it just a single make and tread that is allowed? maybe i missed it in the regs but i couldnt see any brand of tyre that could be used? Can some rider just turn up with a 500 cc protoype engine that gives them an edge thats within the rules or is it just the main engine brands allowed? Silencers and frame. Free to choose? Only 2 bikes per rider on race night? IF only the GP website would give us all the info we need !! Thanks in advance.

    .......and ALL the noise from building this!! The new industrial park which has been given the green light by the council!! IS it really needed,spoiling the land,and it just shows how councils operate,ie NO to extra speedway training schools,YES to large industrial units,the build and also the continued use of the units.crazy

    Have to agree that some things should be standard requirements at a TV meeting. IE Team Riding order by TEAM MANAGERS and the reasons why.Any last minute team info/chat from managers themselves Meeting referee name and info. Coin Toss, who won and who opted for heat 15.DONE LIVE EVERYTIME,at the same time at the start of the meeting. TELEPHONE or radio commun with referee to be standard.All adds to the buzz and keeping fans live "in the moment" AND not second hand info when the comms can be bothered to give us the information.

    Pearson/Tatum Maybe so,but they have to watch they dont get tooooooooooooooo complacent,and go off on one that knowone else really cares about.But things like the change of tyres Kelvin mentioned or any snippets of info that the fans dont know about would be welcome.

    Somerset 2020

    Anyone know what promoters have to go through to get a transfer or loan deal done?Is it a free fall all when you just approach a rider,or the rider does the same with the promoter,or is there rules(?!) that a club has to go through to get the deal done,ie contacting the BSPA,club who owns Chris Harris,or even contacting somerset to ask have you got first call on Chris Harris in 2020?

    Craig Cook Ban Dropped

    Where was this appeal held,and who are the people behind SCB who were on the panel.?My guess is the the appeal was held down the pub,with the fine for cook being just keep the beers coming until he got the lot pissed,and the statement was all the could muster up because they were so drunk!!!

    King's Lynn v Wolves 15/08/2019

    Anyone know why Kyle Howarth didnt ride ?
  13. speedwaysliders

    Cook, Vissing and Kennett banned.

    Just out of interest ,does anyone know the rules regarding track time for riders before a meeting? Seems like Alfie Bowtell had 2 sessions with Martin Dugard prior to the meeting starting.How can they prepare the track when theres some rider on the track going through his bike set up with the person who should be getting the track ready to race.Im not having a pop at Alfie but would the facility be there for all riders if they get to the track really early?!!!

    2019 Odds for World Champion

    I know Madsen was great last season,and was hoping for odds of at least 25/1,but 14/1 at best does seem kinda skinny for a rider up until last season i could not see him in the GPs at all.Fair play to him,like Doyle hes found something extra.
  18. We have to address team riding-maybe having a couple of heats in the match where you get more points for finishing second and third for example (or whatever score you like if it favours team racing)Something has to be done to bring TEAM speedway back,and racers not to clear off from their teammates ,
  19. Sorry people ,maybe its been mentioned,but at what point did the lights fail? I know it was somewhere around heat 8,but were they just about to run a heat,i know the last thing that happened was Adam Ellis crashing,but did his bike maybe snag a cutout to the lights.were the stadium lights also off.Sorry im just trying to get a picture leading up to the moment when the lights failed.
  20. 100% agree Harris will give his best,but how can a rider.........infact i give up trying to explain to others.
  21. 100% agree,im watching as a neutral,and cant understand how the ref came to exclude MPT,would love to know if the SCB have a refs debrief and what was said by the referee to make a decision like that.The rider who knocked him off was all over the place running into the corner ,really would love to know the refs views on why he made his decision.Maybe speedway star editor can get a word with him!!!!!
  22. sounds a cracking meeting.i take Ricky Wells being excluded from heat 15 was the correct decision,as no one has questioned it.
