  1. Past hour
  2. Wouldn't bother giving Doyle another PWC, all he is likely to do is injure himself or another rider... Fricke is worth another PWC. If no Laguta & Sayfutdinov... I think I'd give Parnitskyi & Cierniak a go, they'll finish 14th & 15th but so would Kvech & Huckenbeck. Woffinden got a pick in 2011 and struggled badly was frankly uncompetitive... dropped out in 2012 but qualified for and won 2013. Who's to say Parnitskyi couldn't do the same.
  3. Well yes... stats suggest Fricke is half a point better than any other rider in the Premiership this year. GP's have 12 also rans,3 medalist... of the also rans Fricke is probably the most interesting to watch alongside Thomsen & Lindgren.
  4. I generally dislike Jack Holder, he's not at all interesting to watch as a rider & comes across dumb in interviews... but every rider touches the tapes once a season & most celebrate winning a heat in someway.. the video is bit pathetic.
  5. Good to know that the reopening was successful. The continuation of speedway at any venue has to be celebrated. As a Coventry fan and someone that has visited Mildenhall on several occasions, I am pleased that this venture hopefully has a successful future. Well done to all concerned.
  6. I’d like to see something along the lines off….. 1 big league this may give us say 14 teams. 7 riders per team although have thought about 6 but unsure if this actually works not done much research in to this. End of season the top 6 teams go in to the “premiership” play off (name can be changed to suit) the next 6 teams go in to the “championship” play off 3rd Vs 6th and 4th vs 5th. With the top 2 meeting the winners in the semi finals. This would allow the stronger former prem teams to push and strive for the top 6 places and then the more illustrious trophy however they wil have more fixtures and it will give lots of chances for riders to attend new tracks. on top of this plus a cup match each team should get a minimum of 24 races over the season. On top of this each team has to create a development team (team of 3 or 4 riders) who will also race over the period of the meeting and after if needed and these points will go towards the overall league table of the main team. so on the night you can get 2 points for a win, 1 if the development team win and then the bonus aggregate score. This will then allow development level riders the chance to be in the pits with stronger riders however protecting them from racing against them. This would also allow those 3/4 per team far more chances to learn and pick brains. I think that would work well. We can also keep the development league.
  7. Today
  8. Kevin Juhl Pedersen was AWESOME considering the conditions ! He had never seen the track before and led the way in all his races. What a rider he is going to make....I hope we sign him next season ! Seemed very friendly to the few fans that were spectating too...giving them a friendly wave whenever he could.
  9. Well Done on artistic content. Would Jack be bothered with video? I would be surprised if he was.
  10. On the plus side: Done by 9.30pm Only 4 reruns - all for riders moving at start Track rode well Crowd around 400 On minus: Starting gate malfunction so green light starts Failure to inform crowd of team changes Burger van late (good job I stopped at West Row chippie). Overall an encouraging start
  11. Yes, I see two of his businesses, Purplerock, and City auction group are sponsoring this upcoming meeting.
  12. Gotta say Fricke is a different animal in the UK this season, probably the best rider of the season? However he is still lacking at GP level and remains pretty much an also ran.
  13. Was the junior event (Golden Ribbon?) today cancelled?
  14. Result 1st Poland 12 2nd Denmark 10 3rd Slovenia 8 4th Germany 7 5th Sweden 6 6th Czech Rep 5 7th France/Slovakia 4 8th Ukraine 3 9th GB 2 10th Estonia 1 Cumulative final result 1st Poland 36 2nd Denmark 26 3rd Germany 25 4th Slovenia 23 5th Czech Rep 17 6th Sweden 15 7th France/Slovakia 13 8th Ukraine 9 9th GB 7 10th Estonia 3
  15. Same old same old for 2026 is my guess. How many teams will line up in the PL 2026 - No Birmingham, Oxford Spires ?? Cannot see any new venues being ready for 2026, and with the usual struggle to finish fixtures now looming, maybe fewer clubs in the PL would help. Would make gaining a p.off place much more likely with only Kings Lynn likely to miss out. The CL continues to rumble on - only Workington seemed to be struggling at one stage , but all likely to estart in 2026? The slowly decaying fanbase seeems to be hanging on in areas where there still is speedway racing. 100th anniversary in 2028 - might just make it 🙂
  16. See Pederson unbeaten appreciate difficult conditions and not an uber strong field but does he look like an unpolished gem for someone to pick up on a 5 point average for 2026 ?
  17. Patience…..some people don’t go on here for days , probably because there’s so much b*ll*x written😉
  18. Nicki refused to go for an interview. He said it was President Mrożek's fault. Knudsen was riding in the nominated races, not him. Nicki said he'd had enough of speedway and racing for today.
  19. You could have just about made a case for him being in the 2025 series based on his 2024 form but he's spent most of 2025 on the injured list, not for the first time it'd be baffling if he got a pick.
  20. other than being an American I am surprised to see Luke Beckers name. I like him as a rider but dont rate him that well.
