It was a great GP, good close racing, easy travelling, easy entry and great view. Only downside were the beer queues and they're was no merchandise on sale apart from Czech Speedway and Dudek had a stall. -

Morris was overseeing it, saw him earlier on, along with Tony Olsson. Credit to him as well as he went and thanked everyone on the centre green personally, marshalls, 1st aiders etc. -
Once again long suffering supporters will be subject to guests galore in what should be one of the key fixtures of the season, and yes before anyone says it because we cannot help injuries but it's just another nail in the coffin.

Didn't see Lemo in the Prague pits tonight 😂

Funny reading the comments after the meeting. The track was watered every single time after 4 heats. And the tractors came out every single time too. There wasn’t one break where nothing was done. Phil prepped the track the same as the qualifying and remember seeing how much grip was on the outside and thinking if this is the same tonight we are on for a good meeting.

I'll grant you, you do need a degree in rocket science to understand this 5h1t... but really it's better to be appearing in LCQ1 than it is LCQ2 no matter what you've scored in the hearts because you just get a chance to score an extra point more for finishing 2nd, 3rd or 4th than you would finishing in the same race position in LCQ2. -
I'm not sure he could, the aim is just to score as many points as possible in the heats to give yourself the best chance. It's not as if there is any advantage to choosing to finish 2nd (as opposed to winning) in the LCQ either, if he had scored the most points, as he'd miss out on the final. Mind, don't take any of this as gospel, my days of keeping track of speedway rules are mostly in the past!

Cast your mind back... Despite what many of the old fogies claim, the racing WASN'T so much better years ago; they were just as spread out as they can be now. What WAS better was the heart-stopping action when they would hit a patch (or mound!) of grip! That's what made it exciting. The bikes were far better suited to the conditions then, than they are now, and were far less likely to throw a rider into the fence. -
Wroclaw seem to think he may be back before season is finished im sure I've read somewhere. They are going to look after his rehabilitation. If he does return I can see him just doing Poland personally for this season. Marks not afraid to spend money when its needed. Only 2 riders can replace dan. BZ for his skill and speed. Or emil due to his popularity amongst fans.

I've added to that post above... but that's my point, he couldn't have engineered it... could he? Or could he? Should he have to? How would he know, it's just down to luck... and if it goes down to a point again, is that anyway to settle a World Championship? Be interesting to know what happened last year with Kurtz and Zmarzlik 🤔 - Today

They both finished 2nd in their Elsie Kew's and Holder gets 12 GP points and Woryna 11.... If Woryna had scored less points in his heats to make sure he appeared in Elsie Kew 1 and came 2nd he would have got 12 GP points instead of his 11... or have I got that wrong? -
You never ever know.
