    Was it Loktaev that blew it in the GP Challenge? For me it doesn't really matter what nationality he is, I think of rather see the 4th place from the challenge or Gleb than the likes of Dudek again

    I thought he'd made a semi (s) before? Could be wrong

    Fricke made 2 semis, turned 1 into a GP win, and missed the cut for three other semis by one point.  He was poor R1 & R3, but has been a lot more solid overall than a number of comments in this forum would indicate.  His less than great extraliga average may not help his chances of a WC but.  The idea of new blood is wonderful, especially given that NKI, Lindbaek, and MM have proven not competitive, but there is little to suggest from the speedway year results that any of the young prospects or recycling options are likely to do better than this years top ten.  Nikki on form, even without considering past exploits looks to me one of the better options for the 15th spot.

    More pits action more riders interviews, or at least something different the studio is boring them lemons in there just agree with each other all the time its cringe worthy, also they must stop opening the bloody pit gates after a restart get the 2 minutes on and send the riders back to the start. 

    Getting female commentators out of a (man's) sport (trackside as well) that they have no competitive experience in would be a real good start.  There are enough good ex riders about whose knowledge and experience give them an insight to track conditions and racing that could enable the bimbo like questions and opinions to be replaced with intelligent comment.

    This heat arrangement would seem to be a good way to diminish interest in the sport. 

    Hopefully future rounds can field 16 riders and a more sensible format. 

    And if they do so, how would that pan out for riders? given that the major prize is based on progressive points. 

    Those added to the rider list would be unlikely to feature in the thick end of prize money.

    Giving up. Just very poor. Thought the sec was poor but the delays between heats kills this stone dead. Surely the organisers must have been aware of huge delays between heats? Pitty the fans that have attended. Must be bored sensless.

    And I got out of bed at 3am in Aus for this, not one of my better decisions it seems.  Yes, boring, formats a shocker.  Zengota seems to be dialled in to the track better than most.

    Danish junior Martin Steen Hansen crashed heavily during practice at Grindstead. He was taken to hospital in Odense
    where he is being kept in an artificial coma. His injuries are smaller bleedings in his brain and four fractures in his back.

    Any update on this young man's condition?. Wishing him all the best for a full recovery
