I'd suggest trying a GP at Wroclaw or Torun, vastly different from a Speedway of Nations and potentially a league meeting bonus on top. I don't think I've missed a GP in Torun, but as soon as this years calendar was announced it didn't take a second to rule out Torun for 2025 as SoN just doesn't do it for me. Hopefully back to normal service next year, or maybe even a return to a summer GP in Torun.

I don’t think you can blame the gps. The sport had already been in decline for the decade before their introduction. What you blame is failure to move with the times in the uk.

50-40 to Lions for me. The track could either be a bit on the heavy side or go slippery later as the base will have absorbed a lot of water on Friday

Four Australians. What's the chance of a GP in Australia? (Zero I expect!)

Don't disagree with any of that but the frustrating thing is if you look at the last world team cup when Poland pipped GB at the post the place was packed and the last four heats were out of the top drawer.

Bounced quite hard on the track couple of times but didn’t seem too badly injured,might be bit stiff this morning.

The Dan Thompson +1 vs Kemp is down to 4/5 now. Outscored him on both Ipswich visits to Leicester this season, Kemp probably riding better now and will have 5 rides but still you'd fancy Thompson who could end up with a couple of extra himself.

Drew Kemp Under 7 at even money Heat 2, potentially gets 3 points although I would say Dan T is fav to take the heat win Heat 7, Will he get a point? Possibly can hold off Ellis if he gates Heat 11, Cant see him beating any of Emil, Danny or Sam Heat 12, if he replaces Joe, but again still up against Dan T, so will do well to get a point Heat 14, 2 points at best and even if he beats both Witches, of which one will most likely be Dan T again In my opinion will have to ride extremely well to get 6 points at best By the same token also taking Dan Thompson +1 to outscore Drew also at even money

I think Fricke and Doyle are deserving of their places, Woffinden though is certainly a surprise call. On the plus side it suggests he's continuing to make good progress in his recovery from the injuries but it's a big gamble when nobody knows how he's going to perform when he does return. Maybe giving him one of the top substitute spots or the British GP wildcard would have been better. Hope he can prove everyone wrong though!

To be fair Ellis and King usually win at least one race around BP, and we've struggled to win heats 8 and 14 this year at home.

Tonight is all about Dan Thompson for me because Ipswich are sitting ducks in the engine room imo. Ellis hasn't been good around Leicester this season, Danny King has had a fair share of stinkers around the place and Brennan's fitness has to be a worry after his big off in Poland last night. Leicester will fired up after missing out on the title last season. 48-42 or 49-41 is my prediction.

MMMmmm Ipswich rolling the dice with Tim Brennans fitness. Sadly I have seen it all go sour before ....... rider sufers reaction to injury in his first race and scores 0 0 0 0 Hope it doesn't turn out that way and we see a good competitive meeting on surely a Leicester track that has has full sunny October day to dry out ?

With entertainment value you could have argued for Nicki Pedersen for a wildcard

Guest and R/R free! Praise the Lord!

And two full teams whatever next!

No Chris Harris tonight ? What kind of play off final is this.

I can’t see a rider in that line up that Tai will finish above

I was referring to Wimborne Road. Late 90's / early 00's it was excellent. Redcar always been very good in my experience.

Doyle at least made a final this year, something Fricke never looked like doing.

Don’t think they took advice from Phil or they would have still been watering it every 4 heats.😂

Has Mikkelson upset someone, even if you accept wildcards are picked for commerical reasons how do ou justify Thomsen above him?

April Fools Day has been cancelled next year, because no amount of pranks can match the unbelievable stupidity of the FIM right now...

we have a woman world champion now, get her in it.

zelona gora my favourite place to watch , best place to stay Poznan, and the speedway ok too.
