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.

20 years ago they were only building the Redcar track, it opened in 2006. It was very good until about 3 years ago when there was a following out with the track curator. A rider at the time described the replacement as a farmer with a tractor who didn't know what he was doing. Not saying it's the same guy now but you would think that someone would know given the amount of recent rain the moisture would come out of the base. Maybe they took advise from Phil Morris.

Fricke deserved his wildcard for sure. Doyle actually brings something to the GP's so I think it's another good wildcard pick tbh. I have a theory as to why Woffinden has been given a wildcard, I think Tai will have a retirement year in 2026 and he wants to go out on his terms (Farewell Tour) and the FIM have decided to give him a wildcard based on this knowing that it'll bring good publicity to the Sport throughout the GP Series.

Isn't Woffy now in the 2nd tier in Poland? A strange pick... And coming after such a huge injury not really sure of his impact... Presume it mush be for clicks and sponsors money...

But is that not what all tracks do before the start of a meeting. I would not say that was doctoring would you?

Danny Ford said and I agree, Redcar is the best track in the championship. This time of year can cause havoc with track prep, maybe next meeting will be better.

2 Extraleague 2 riders in the 15 in 2026. Doyle ( Krosno) and Woffinden ( Ostrow )

Didn’t watch this one but the meeting the week previous against Oxford was very poor racing too. Cant remember a worthwhile pass and the gates were so uneven. Well done to the Pirates.

Fricke is the only one I agree with finishing 3 points from the top 7 to qualify automatically. Personally I think Doyle is past it at this level, still a great rider at league level but at most can maybe have one or 2 gps with a decent score. Woffy inclusion is a joke to be honest, not had a competitive race since his horrible crash (and barely any/none since the injury before it too) and back in the GPs, what basis other than popularity/sponsors is he back in?

Wolffy certainly a big surprise, as too Mikkelson not even making the sub riders list when he has finished above Thompson in GP's, Polish and Danish League averages, and way ahead of Huckenbeck and Kvech who constantly prove they are not up to GP standard. Overall however, given the ridiculous bias against Emil and Laguta, a stronger lineup in my view than we've had for some years.
