Lindgren and Bewley out. What a massive loss to the SGP series. Already done and dusted before its even started unless Kurtz can repeat last seasons performances.

Looks like he could have been killed without the airfence. No head injury by the sound of things. Hopefully the thigh can mend ok. Not sure about the vertebrae, though. The bike should have been impounded although will it be in any condition to be examined. Shocking incident, good he is still alive. What a terrible blow to the sport after everything that went on during winter and the injury toll so far

Dan is bery difficult to replace at the best of times, but in UK speedway today its impossible. A season of guests and R/R it is.

They have to work down the reserve list which is. 1 Parnitskyi - in it 2 Thomsen 3 Kvech 4 Huckenbeck 5 Pollestad Wild card - the federation nominates to be ratified by the FIM

It's more the bikes than the riders. The modern lay-down reacts much better on a slicker surface, plus the bikes are now easier to race and pass when the track is slick. The power the bikes now have means they launch if the track has too much grip. Although, last night, I think the biggest problem wasn't the level of grip but the big rut halfway around the first and second bend. Dayle Wood hit it Heat 2 and lost his chain. Race leader Anders Rowe hit during Heat 4 but managed to stay on. Fraser Bowes hit it in Heat 6 and was less lucky.

Do they have to work down the substitute list or can they pick any rider they want?

Interesting idea, could Belle Vue bring in a 28 day replacement, then revert back to guests r/r for Bewley though?

Best go home really

Fricke is underperforming at present

Belle vues playoff season is over

IF Bowes could be out for up to 8 weeksw where does that put Poole in regards to replacement/s. Are Cairns & Cairns allowed to cover that whole period, if not for how long. Read on Google AI that a pierced lung and fluid on the lung can clear in as little as 2 weeks but that would seem maybe unrealistic if you are planning to race again so quickly after the injury. Then there is his back. I wonder if it is a long period, would Bailey maybe reconsider UK bearing in mind he is not getting many opportunities overseas. His DK Team only used him for one match so far seemingly giving preference to home talent Villards Pedersen. Even in last nights postponed match after Bewley's seriour injury. His POL Team Grudiatz havent seen fit not to include him in their first team again favouring more local young riders. That only leaves their U24 Team where they have only ridden 2 matches in the new 4 team U24 format on Tuesdays. He rode in both. I wonder if a combo of Cairs/Rushen for as long as possible or for a while and a later introduction of Bailey would be possible. In a way I feel for Bowes but you have to question how he is having so many crashes in Aussie/UK. Could be bad luck. So frustrating as well considering how well he rode in those 2 races up to the point of his latest fall.

The trouble now is everyone is talking on the spammer thread and it keeps the post at the top and it will always be there while people continue to do so.

Piraterna have signed Ben Cook.

You do know who @crescent girl is, don’t you? You’ll get into real trouble for attacking speedway’s equivalent of a national treasure

Gutted for Dan Bewley but if Mark Lemon is able to find a replacement #1 for him the question will be asked of why he couldn't do it for the Foxes...

Poor Mr Bean.

Lots of shale and water won't work on a bumpy old track. Bumps a grip don't mix well

I always thought Nigel Crabtree fell into this category whenever he raced against Long Eaton. Good rider, but if he was being beat by anyone, he would spend the race looking down at his bike.

Yes those words normally associated with Kings Lynn!

HBO Max are pathetic !!! i have it in writing from them that they are NOT showing it tomorrow. i have phoned them and told a supervisor they are WRONG and asked him to go back to programming who were the people that told them to tell them it’s being shown throughout Europe ( Poland on Eurosport player and HBO Max) and hopefully will finally get it sorted.

Poole with to much shale, and water.. Now you don't hear that very often

Any truth in the rumours Bangs isn’t coming back?

For the rest of the season I was thinking

only got the bank holiday match on monday before the GP

im pretty confident it will be R/R and guests going forward
