Speedway World Cup 2017

Just to demonstrate how amateur the sport is, keeping the tapes still is a cone with a broom handle stuck in the top. How much effort would it have taken to spray paint it black...or heaven forbid neon green

Is Fricke maybe still officially number 5 but taking all Doyles races so Doyle can race in later meetings?

That is exactly the situation- Fricke has to ride 5 tonight, Friday and Saturday

Not sure it's much further than when he rode for Belle Vue.

About 35 miles further, so not a lot in it

The road to Bellev Vue is a little more direct. That said I haven't the foggiest where Harris resides anyway. He seems a little more suited to the tracks where you can 'wind it on'

Not sure I understand Rosco's reasoning there. Would most certainly have put King in the side over Steve Worrall.

 

Meanwhile Woffindens on a beach somewhere with his middle finger raised to all TeamGB fans.

What on earth has happened to Edward Krcmar, couple or three seasons ago he looked to be a decent prospect but now looks like an also ran.

Will Lemon play the joker

Are the Aussies throwing this to get practice on the final track?

[Steve Shovlar 10,439]

So far so good. The choice of Worrall ok so far. Good crowd for somewhere so remote from most of the UK. Could be close at the end.

What an utter pile of tripe so far, 2 man races every time, no excitement, gate and win borefest. Couldn't care less who wins just want to see some close racing and a bit of excitement!! Think I will be in for a LOOONNGGG wait!

So if JD69 isn't fit for the play-off or final if Team Australia get there and another one of Holder. Bachelor. Morris or Fricke also can't ride they have a 3 man team ?

No they can replace him if they get a certificate and the FIM accept it but he can`t return- that`s why they didn`t make the change tonight so that he is available Friday/ Saturday

Australia need a new manager; according to Pearson Lemon is the USA boss!

It seems that Poland, Sweden and Denmark always ride their semi on the continent. Is it made so? If so it devalues the competition to some extent. Surely there must be better nations than these two also rans. Germany?

Germany had their chance in Latvia- but went there with a weak team and suffered the consequences !!

Didn't these two also rans qualify ahead of Germany?
