    An American Gp!

    Don't think I quite claimed that Legault would make the GP did I? I did say may make it BEFORE the next AMERICAN would. BUT having said that he did accomplish more than any other Brit by at least getting to the last qualifying stage. You and I both know that we don't have a clue as to how any rider will progress over the next two years and that includes your list and Legault.

    An American Gp!

    Wasn't quite referring to the two Brits (that are desperately trying to hang on to 7th & 8th place). Simply where are the one's to take their place? Absolutely agree about the American public not supporting an event where only one American was riding......they need to have a HUGE chance of winning before it would be supported. I think our Canadian may make it to the GP series in 2009....before another American comes along.

    An American Gp!

    This has been a very interesting thread......I love to read this again in a couple of years and see who was right here. For me I'd love to see a GP in the USA since I live in Canada (yes I have been to other GP's including Sydney before someone says something negative) but I also can't see it happening right now. As far as riders in the USA, there are some up and coming one's and they may decide to try their luck. While on the subject of riders where are all the Brits???? I say that of course as a joke but there could be NO british riders in the GP except for reserve....what would that do to the Cardiff GP? Russia, IMHO is a definite....SOON!

  10. Any updates would be just fine......GO LEGO GO!!!
  11. Sounds like a really dumb reason to me......nothing like getting the International experience whether you do well or not. It should set you up for when you really are ready.

    Where, Who, When, Why?

    Bugger!!! If I had looked at that site first without going through my programmes I wouldn't have had to waste the time but at least I got it right!!!

    Where, Who, When, Why?

    This is a really interesting one......I guess the only way would be to match a programme from 1959....IF 1959 is accurate......looking at the records Coventry only had a WCQR that could possibly match this but it was won by Brian Crutcher. This kinda leaves Coventry out of the picture. These "Bibs" were also used for the long gone INTERNATIONALE, of course these did not start until 1961. If it is 1959 Ipswich did many open meetings that year with Internationals & Open meetings, many of these riders were in these meetings...it could just be one of those, not the 5 internationals they had though. Looking at the picture there is a "Logo" just above and to the right of Teo's head, maybe a clue if you can blow this part up.

    The Late Martyn Piddock

    Unfortunately I remember these days only too well....I was in Holland at the time on holiday and I saw a poster on the road stating Denmark v. West Ham at Tilburg & Amsterdam....I knew nothing about West Ham going to Holland to race, even being a West Ham fan. So I decided to take a chance and find out if it really was...well obviously it was...I went to both meetings and even had chats with the riders.....imagine my shock the next day when all these riders were killed. Sad, sad days.

    Former Crayford Riders

    You are absolutely correct BOBBATH...they are still living in Edmonton and just for the record Stan Bradbury was honoured at the Paris Track (in Ontario) this past season with a celebration of his 80th Birthday.
  22. Not sure if this is the correct place to put this but I'm sure this is of interest to NP fans..... PRESS RELEASE - COMMUNIQUE DE PRESSE Mies, December 21/le 21 décembre 2006 International Tribunal of Appeal Case of Speedway rider Nicki Pedersen Tribunal International d’Appel Cas du pilote de Speedway Nicki Pedersen The International Tribunal of Appeal (TIA) convened on December 19 at the FIM headquarters in Mies, Switzerland, in a public hearing in order to judge the appeal lodged by Danish rider Nicki Pedersen, team manager Jan Staechmann and the Danmarks Motor Union (DMU) against the decision of the International Disciplinary Court (CDI) taken on September 18, concerning the offence of bad behaviour of Nicki Pedersen against Speedway Grand Prix Race Director Ole Olsen during the Speedway World Cup event held in Reading, Great Britain, on July 22. Present at the hearing were Mr Santiago Puig y Viladomiu, TIA President, Wojciech Tomczyk and Gianluca d’Aloja, judges, Nicki Pedersen, Jan Staechmann and the DMU President Henrik Norgaard, as well as Ole Olsen, FIM CEO Guy Maitre and FIM Legal adviser Robert Hofstetter. The TIA confirmed partially the sanction pronounced by the CDI in its decision of September 18: Nicki Pedersen is penalised with a fine of CHF 2.000 and a suspension of six months beginning on 1st April 2007 and with respite for a probationary period from 1st April to 1st October 2007, verdict to be executed in case of further offence of bad behaviour. Jan Staechmann was given a warning for not acting in order to stop the incident. In a new ruling, the costs of the procedure are to be borne by Nicki Pedersen and Jan Staechmann: each one must pay half part of the procedure costs of both instances. The full text of the decision will be published within a few days. An appeal may be lodged against this decision to the CAS within 5 days following the written notification.
