  1. Past hour
  2. Nonsense... My all time favourite rider was PC... And he was (quite probably) the best rider in the world from 76 to 78.. An incredible talent... Woffy won THREE world titles... No maybes, no might have beens, no wudda, cudda, shudda... THREE world titles...
  3. Still don't know if I'll be forced to miss speedway next week? Probably won't!
  4. Just read that ,a wise decision was never his greatest fan but he was class act on the bike and a worthy World Champion in his days.Unfortunately suffer some bad injuries(for such a safe rider) and think he is doing it for the the best reason (his health).Best of luck to him for the future.
  5. Today
  6. I’m a big advocate for individualism, but Kemp turning up dressed like a Spice Girls back-up dancer, then putting in a performance like that is wild. For those who missed it, the Glasgow team’s track walk consisted of six guys wearing club merchandise and tracksuits, then one wearing an oversized cream tracksuit and Bono-like blue tinted sunglasses.😂 Had it not been for Hausl’s crash and retirement, our stand-in number one would have scored zero. Mental. Hopefully Cluff’s van breaks down on the way home. Horrible little dwarf.
  7. The good: choosing to take the gates in heat 15, Tate looked properly on it, Cluff was decent, Mario superb even with the fall in his first ride. The bad: got pumped, Drew Kemp (just fire whoever booked him, he was always going to be useless), choosing gates 2&4 in heat 15 when 12 of 14 heats were won from 1&3, putting Bomber from gate 4 where there were 0 wins all night. The ugly: Cluff celebrating whilst a rider was lying motionless on the track. Really, really poor, especially as he’d ridden past Kevin twice, so he can’t blame it on ignorance.
  8. Always pleased to see a rider retire on their own terms. Wish him all the best.
  9. Sometimes speedway is about mentality and worry had that in spades
  10. Just looked at the scores and my god. What has happened to the SGP series? I remember the days of Hancock, Rickardsson, Gollob, Adams, Crump and Pedersen. The quality in the SGP series has fallen off massively.
  11. Kelvin makes a big issue of gate picks , he should know that they don’t grade track before final and there is usually a good outside line in these heats ,how many times does he doubt the riders choices.🤔👎
  12. He has showed up year after year and you very rarely see him let his British team down. Remember him coming to the UK in about 2003/4 ish and you would never of thought he would be a world champion. He rode for my side in our final year with a badly knackered shoulder and held off surgery until we had won the KO cup and will always think a lot of him for that. He has come back from many nasty injurys that would end most careers as well. Top rider and top guy.
  13. Apart from Thompsen and Kvech and the injured GP riders IMO Laguta and Emil are the one that would add something to the GP’s IMO
  14. KJP had a bad crash today at Glasgow off to hospital 😟
  15. I think the significant amount of money he has earned in a relatively weak PL might be part of the reason ,fair play to him hope he has earned a good retirement out of it .
  16. More natural riders on a bike some of them yes but none got three individual world titles.
  17. Mixed result for me in this GP. Can i congratulate Personalresponsibility on his punting this season in the competition. To amass over 17 grand is inspired betting !! leaderboard after round 6 Malilla GP Personalresponsibility £17,750 Garry 1603 £7,450 iand £5,800 London Racer £4,850 Skippy 147 £4,800 Icescot £4,700 Dave Rowe £3,525 Fromafar £3,100 Salty £2,400 gmarsbar 2 £2,100 r8gdp £1,000 Racers and Royals £900 tintin £300 Round 7 is in Lodz on Saturday 1st August
  18. Pedersen clipped Hagon’s rear wheel and went head first into the fence coming out the second bend in an almost identical incident to the one that ended Darcy Ward’s career. I honestly thought “he’s done”. The way he hit that fence and the pace, the way he lay motionless, it looked horrific. An older lady next to us was a bit upset. Cluff was last, so this happened right in front of him and if he didn’t see it then, he certainly did when - for some bizarre reason - he did a lap of honour and passed Pedersen as he lay motionless on the ground. He then stopped his bike on the fourth bend and proceeded to gesture towards the Monarchs fans while the rest of the stadium remained silence. The place erupted in boos. A morally corrupt short, buck-toothed imbecile without an ounce of decency. Well deserved win for the Monarchs. Thompson and Thomson were incredible, but that left a horrible feeling I’ve never associated with speedway. Incredible to see Pedersen up.
  19. i agree. i have always liked Doyle, gives it nothing but 100 percent and has been more committed to the UK than the likes of Woffinden and Lambert down the years. the sport will miss him when he retires.
  20. It’s fun reading people’s comments who clearly have no idea on the qualification system
  21. Honestly the amount of garbage I read about who shouldn’t be in the Grand Prix I want the best 15 riders in the world … the GP challenge means you will occasionally get someone who might have one good meeting and qualify but I don’t want a young Pole or whatever just to ‘shake it up’ Doyle will probably never win another GP and of course he isn’t as good as he once was but he is in amongst the elite and to say he is not worthy of a place is crap
  22. Blimey how many Wildcards do people think there are ?? Three is the answer and shouldn’t they go to Bewley, Lindgren and Holder ?? As i have said before there is a chance of a further one if the winner of the SEC is a GP rider( 6 chances in 2026) and he finishes in the GP top 7 standings at the end of the season.
