Is there any action on the isle of wight this year? Their website lists no fixtures https://www.speedwayportal.com/warriors

See what I mean TSV?…….told you…..best ignored…..lol

Another great Sunday evening meeting from Poland.. I almost feel some sympathy for the UK promoters having to follow on, on a Monday... Great stadia, big enthusiastic crowds, a sizeable away following, truly top level riders in almost every heat. (With all belng contracted to both teams on show), and professional looking managers and mechanics dressed in club merchandise... With most races contested by at least two riders, with the third often not too far behind given at lesst three riders in most races are of a "very good level".. Add in a very good junior and it can be all four in contention to possibly still change their individual positions as they enter bend three, lap four in lots of races... A lot of boxes ticked for the viewers, fans in the stadium, sponsors and advertisers.. Not quite the same amount of boxes ticked too often, sadly, on a Monday evening on TNT..

Thursday 17th July new date for this Semi final. I assume they’ve received Dan’s weekend scan results…😁

Michelsen stays at Torun in 26 and 27

Irrelevant for speedway. However they can be uncomfortable - with speedway it's really important you can move your body about easily, this was one of the attractions with modern suits over leather because protection wise I don't think they're as good. Adults make choices with risk, that's life.

Hope Luke Becker recovers asap and my best wishes go out to him but another bad crash/injury in the Polish Leagues. Big fast tracks, lots of pressure to do well and quite probably, some riders trying too hard and over riding.

Gate choice at the coin toss will be vital.

Any newcomers would have forgotten the name Tom Brennan by the time they exited the gates.

You lost Ben Cook and Boughen hasnt troubled the scorers much, if you could get a good replacement for Ben that would be a big help but one rider having an off night shouldn't matter with the reserve you have.

I didn’t know that. I was sure I’d seen loads of moto-x riders wearing them but it must have just been a fancy scarf shaped like a neck brace or something like that…….

The team is fine if they all click together and are consistent at the same time. However, this is speedway and when does that ever happen? The way the 1-7 is built, all it takes is for 1 of the boys to have a stinker and then there’s no chance.

My personal opinion is I would prefer riders to go through the qualifying system to prove they’re capable enough to ride in the GP, rather than expect a wildcard based on their name, nationality etc etc. I personally think the wildcard system is a joke anyway. The SGP stated that “12 spots in the 15-rider line-up can now only be earned on sporting merit”. It should be the whole 15-rider lineup earned on sporting merit, whether that is through the SGP itself, or qualifying. I would structure it as follows: Top 8 automatically qualify Top 6 from SGP Challenge qualify SEC Champion qualifies That way every position has been earned by sporting merit, and not some joke wildcard pick, which are being wasted by not even selecting the riders who should be in the SGP anyway (Laguta and Sayfutdinov)…

Maybe, Rob Lyon must have thought he could build it like Peterborough but it hasnt worked because there are better riders here now, Harris has been good but he isnt Emil or Kurtz. You will always have a strong reserve but you need strength at the top too. Oxford seem to be even worse with a similarly built side. Nothing wrong with moaning about your team if you think your riders are not performing to their level.

Listen to your little friend with the perverted wink emoji, @TracksideView. The adults have finished discussing the topic of interacting with fans, so you can now speak. ”sOmEoNe gIvE HiM a hUg”.😂 Absolute child like behaviour.

Neck braces can have a negative impact on performance. That's why none of the top riders in other sports like Motocross wear them.

I think you might be moaning about most. If you was a Stars fan.😉

I have moaned about Kerr because he hasnt been good, I dont expect him to be as good as Lawson but he should be as good as Rowe but his performance at Glasgow was much better. Not all Poole fans shared my viewpoint but I know if we are to challenge for anything the whole team needs to be firing. The Kings Lynn team has been poor and Klindt was awful recently I would be moaning about him and I would not be happy about Boughen but he has ridden like that for a while so not really a surprise. Harris was good at reserve and so will Kvech be but you are missing top end strength which you can only moan at how the team was built not the actual riders.

Honestly TSV, I wouldn’t waste your time if I were you……😉

If my son was even at 250 level, if he didn't have them, he wouldn't ride.

Absolutely, I can't understand why every rider doesn't wear a neck brace unless they don't work, in which case why do a lot of riders wear them. Jason Doyle is wearing an inflatable vest this season, understandable... but Bomber now doesn't wear them. Personally I'd make both compulsory much like air fences.

I see what your saying, But as a rider at any level. Wouldn't you want to take the best measures to protect yourself. Whether compulsory or not.

It's strange that some protective kit is compulsory (Helmet, body armour) but others are optional (neck brace, inflatable vest).
